What is SendGrid?
SendGrid is a transactional and marketing email service from Twilio that sends app-generated mail over an API or SMTP.
What does it do?
Sends email through a REST API or SMTP relay, with templates, delivery and bounce tracking, suppression lists and inbound parsing. Also runs marketing campaigns against stored contact lists.
Who is it for?
Engineering teams sending high volumes who need deliverability support, plus marketing teams working from the same account. Small teams often find the console heavier than they need.
What are the alternatives to SendGrid?
Resend and Postmark are simpler developer-first senders, Loops targets SaaS marketing email, Mailtrap adds a testing sandbox, and Postal is self-hosted.
