"A solid API with simple integration into a multitude of different services at an affordable price."
4/5
What do you like best about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

The API is easy to integrate with just about any service out there. The documentation is solid and covers multiple use-cases/languages, and the webhooks are reliable and easy to understand. Additionally, the pricing is very reasonable, especially compared to other Email API solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

The email design tool is not at polished as competing solutions aimed purely at marketing-based emails (Mailchimp, for example). There are a decent amount of bugs, and it's relatively frustrating to use. Still, we primarily use SendGrid for the API, not the email-design tools, so this is not a dealbreaker for us, and the prices are much more modest than competing marketing solutions.

"Avoid at all cost"

What do you like best about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

Not much. Sendgrid used to be the leader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

Sendgrid now has crazy overage fees. Sendgrid's mission is to squeeze you out of every penny. Look closely at their extra fees or you'll get totally hosed for what used to be simply an smtp email service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

The free plan seems to change more often than it wanted to be, and some features of API are now being deprecated, so we needed to modify our software to reflect these changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pot Luck"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

No longer have to monitor outgoing mail non-stop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

No way to forward dot com email in cPanel using API sender to mysite.com forward to mysite@gmail.com error gmail.com is not a verified sender!

Huge bummer for most who forward website mail. No return mail headers to troubleshoot and tons of customer complaints of good mail getting returned.

Real nightmare not owning your own mail server! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used to be a supporter - Now, they have lost their way"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

I used to be a strong supporter - even after changes to their offerings required me to upgrade from a $14.95/ month account to $89.95. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio SendGrid Email API?

I have previously written positive reviews about SendGrid, but recently, credentials for SendGrid users has been posted to the Internet (their fault?) and in my opinion, their reaction to it has been lacking common sense and have caused damage to my business by deleting my access without notification in response.

1. They have not fully disclosed to all of their users that there was an information breach - I know this because I have multiple accounts

2. It seems like they haven't even disclosed it to all of their agents (I spent hours working through fixing a compromised account and the agent did not share with me that there was a breach, knowing that I am launching an internal investigation into how the account could have been compromised. This was early on.

3. They simply deleted my access one day without notice - If you are using this for real-time email sending to customers, that is a big problem

4. Their agents have been sending threatening messages demanding is make changes to my opt-in lists. I don't have opt-in lists - I only send emails on requested internal app activities...

5. I have requested multiple times to speak with a supervisor and those requests have been ignored.

I have many more things I could say, but at this point, I don't think they are trustworthy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To use in several of my websites, I wanted an email API. It's what I use for transactional emails as well as for our email marketing business.
