SendGrid Vs. Amazon SES

When comparing Amazon’s Simple Email Service (SES) against Twilio SendGrid, there are a couple key differentiators to consider. First, Twilio SendGrid’s sole focus is email. It was built to get messages delivered correctly, while Amazon SES is a product outside of the core Amazon business. Secondly, Twilio SendGrid’s platform was built to scale and handle nearly any volume of email you need to send, unlike the limited capabilities of Amazon SES.
