Spotsaas Editor’s POV

SendGrid's API remains functional for email campaigns, but recent reviews document specific operational issues. Users report account suspensions without clear explanation, support response times exceeding 48 hours, and IP blacklisting that degrades deliverability. The platform requires dedicated IPs (additional cost) to maintain sender reputation—a hidden expense ...Read more

Robust email service for marketing lists

What do you like best? Sendgrid is a reliable email service that consistently gets your emails to your customers' inboxes. For marketing lists it is somewhat lax on bounce limits, and shows how 'healthy' your email list is in real time. Stats provided in real time are informative and show crucial info such as open rates, click-through rates, and soft/hard bounces. What do you dislike? While services provided are good, this is a pricey option, offset by a good free starter plan. If you ...

Not on par with the competition

What do you like best? Nothing that I liked particularly, we started using the Sendgrid Marketing tools because we are Sendgrid API users, so it made sense to have everything in the same platform. What do you dislike? The pricing model is not good if you have large subscriber lists that you contact frequently, as they charge $10/10k contacts. Any decently sized ecommerce platform will struggle to justify the cost of idle subscribers in Sendgrid. Also the tool is not very ...

Opening an account with SendGrid is like an out-of-body experience

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? Unknown, they would not give me access. They ask you for your name, the name of your company, and a few other questions, then for some odd reason a message flashes on the screen that you have not been accepted by them. Once that happens, that's it there is no way to start and account, and support flatly denies that they know why. What aspects are problematic or could work better? In all my 50 years in business, this is the most ...

The free tier made me try it and the GREAT product made me stay

What do you like best? I really love the simplicity behind the Whilelabel configuration and the detailed data that show the Email Activity feed. I just set up the Whilelabel domains in a couple of minutes: no doubts, no reading the docs for 2 hours, no visit to stackoverflow. Simple. The other thing I love is the free tier, it's just perfect for any startup (and sometimes enough if you are really efficient with the notifications. What do you dislike? I do really hate the ...

Great for automated emails

What do you like best? It was easy to set up and integrates well with our existing programs. We use it solely for automated emails sent on a daily basis and have never had an issue with the platform in the past 2 years that we've been using it. It's great because we sort of set it and forget it because the system runs so smoothly and all of the content for our emails is pulled in dynamically. What do you dislike? The only downside is that the marketing email features aren't developed ...

Good tool to send localized emails

What do you like best? It's easy to update your email templates. I like the fact that you can edit the preview mode and the HTML if your resources are skilled. Very good interface, easy to learn. The system is stable enough. What do you dislike? I have used sendgrid for about 1 year and I didn't find any major bugs. I used to update templates in different languages so it would be useful if you the user could filter when searching for a certain category of template. Let's say I need to ...

SendGrid is a good solution for small business

What do you like best? The interface is very easy to use and access to customer service is great. They really try to help you figure out your problem. What do you dislike? The only thing I didn't like about it was at the time (about 6 months ago they didn't have any kind of robust tracking system. They had basics emails stats but nothing that was beneficial to dive into really understanding your email campaign. Recommendations to others considering the product Now that I've used ...

Transactional Email Success

What do you like best? We've used sendgrid for quite some time for transaction emails. Works well, reporting is accurate, and we rarely have any technical issues. What do you dislike? I'd like a better user interface for email marketing campaigns. At this time, I prefer another platform for marketing emails vs. transactional emails. A more intuitive HTML editor and inbox preview function would take sendgrid to the next level. Recommendations to others considering the product Do your ...
