About SendGrid
SendGrid is an email sending service with an API and a marketing campaigns tool. It is now offered through the Twilio website, which the site describes as the new home for the product.
What it does
SendGrid's Email API lets an app send transactional messages such as receipts and password resets, through a web API or SMTP. The marketing campaigns tool helps marketers build and send email to lists. The service is built for sending at scale.
Key features
- Send transactional email through a cloud API or SMTP
- Create and send marketing email campaigns
- Guides for improving email deliverability
- Help center and status page for the services
- Flexible plans with a free trial
Who it's for
SendGrid suits developers adding email to a product, and marketing teams that run newsletters or campaigns. Companies that want email and other messaging channels with one vendor may also consider it, since the site presents it alongside other Twilio products.
Pricing and good to know
The site offers a free trial with no credit card required, and lists flexible pricing for different volumes. Documentation, partner help and a support chat are available for setup. Because the product now sits on the Twilio site, check the current plan details there before you choose a tier.
