Most Underrated Powerful Email Marketing Tool

Reviewed on 01/05/2022

Sendgrid is a powerful email marketing tool that offers superior services to its customers. Sendgrid is a must-have tool for start-ups, eCommerce businesses, freelancers and corporates. One thing that separates Sendgrid from other email marketing tools is their scalability once our list grows. The free version of Sendgrid allows you to send 100 emails every day.

Pros

What I like most about Sendgrid is that most of the tools out there offer easy integration with Sendgrid. Some apps can even directly integrate with SendGrid without using automation software like Zapier.

Cons

Sendgrid's UI is a bit confusing and it took some time to get used to the options. The email editor lacks certain features.

Alternatives Considered

ConvertKit, Moosend and Omnisend

Reasons for Choosing SendGrid

They are very expensive and for half the price I can get all the features on Sendgrid.

Reasons for Switching to SendGrid

SendGrid is a tool made for those looking for industrial strength e-mail marketing. If you have a small list and want a free tool where you have many templates and can drag and drop designs, MailChimp is the right tool. However, if you are sending millions of e-mails and want to use code and highly technical attributes with tens of thousands of users in your e-mail list you pretty much have to abandon MailChimp and SendGrid is the best tool in the space

Pros

The code editor and how everything is optimized for coding allows for truly beautiful e-mail marketing campaigns. SendGrid can accommodate beautiful e-mail templates that were created in HTML/CSS, you just have to know how to code for it to be useful for you.

Cons

They do not have a way to graphically edit particularly easily like with MailChimp.

To make a good looking e-mail marketing campaign you must know how to code, there are not a lot of templates provided for you to edit or drag and drop. It was not intended as a tool if you would like to drag and drop.

On the upside this got us to learn how to code better.

Alternatives Considered

Mailchimp

Reasons for Choosing SendGrid

MailChimp actually gets very pricey after you exceed 2,000 users. MailChimp also lacks the sophistication you need when you start doing more advanced activities companies like Uber and Spotify do. If you see sent by MailChimp you know it's a small business.

Auto-ban

Reviewed on 23/10/2023

Pros

None. Our account was locked with no explanation before we could log in for the first time (please understand, we were banned before we could ever try the actual service) and there is no explanation given, and no way to contact the company.

Cons

Sendgrid automatically banned our account - WITHOUT us ever logging in. I put in an email address, signed up, and then received notification that they "cannot support your account at this time" and "Thank you for your interest in Twilio SendGrid, best of luck with your future endeavors." I want to be clear. There was no communication. There was no explanation. There was no avenue for appeal. There was only an automated response from a system, and then to contact support you have to "log in" - well I was never able to log in, not once. They gather your user count on sign up. We are a small company, of fewer than 10 users. I have to wonder whether my user base had been 10,000 instead whether we would've been able to at least talk to someone... To find out why?

The definitive SMTP email sender

Reviewed on 29/08/2023

Pros

Sendgrid is fantastic, it is easy to setup, it works well, it sends emails securely and avoids spam filters, it allows for in-depth reporting and logs of emails on the rare occasion they need to be reviewed because an email has not been delivered.We recommend this for all of our eCommerce customers and use it ourselves, we couldn't be happier.

Cons

Previously it was hard to manage several customers under one login which was frustrating, but Sendgrid listened to the requests for this feature and implemented it a few years back, we are delighted with the product

It's perfect when you need to send transactional mails, for example password recovery or notifications to users from your website. or custom marketing campaigns. You can implement on your App easily with his Full Documented API or via SMTP.

The free forever plan is perfect when you're starting a website or application and still do not have enough users. You can also easily upgrade your plan in order to get more emails monthly .

Recommended with closed eyes.

Pros

1. Have AB Testing enable.
2. Manage unsubscribe emails.
3. Easy to Integrate via API or SMTP.
4. Email Reputation indicator.
5.Full detailed report. You can see if the email it's blocked, bounced or delivered.
6. Have a Forever Free plan . (40.000 Emails in the trial period, then 100 Emails Daily forever)

Send grid interface it's a little bit confuse.

No more cons to highlight, for me it's a perfect tool.
