SendGrid vs. Amazon SES

SendGrid consistently provides clarity, when and where you need it – whether that’s by providing clear, intuitive pricing up front, simplifying onboarding and integration, or supporting you in optimizing your email strategy.

  • Dollar currency symbol
    Transparent pricing

    You pay for the volume of emails you send - full stop. No need to understand your compute charges, or account for two message charges per email if you want to use deliverability insights.

  • Laptop with bar graph
    Email strategy expertise

    Instead of relying on certified freelancers who may or may not have expertise in email strategy, SendGrid Expert Services is an in-house team of experts who each have 15 years of email experience, on average.

  • Bar chart with line chart
    Robust analytics

    Lots of providers will cover sends, deliveries, opens, clicks, rejections, etc. – but SendGrid’s analytics dive deeper. Best of all, there’s no additional expense to access your email data and insights.

  • Building blocks icon
    Easy to set up & integrate

    Our setup documentation, like all of our documentation, makes getting started easy. In third party reviews, SendGrid customers cite an easy integration process, regardless of whether your tech stack stretches beyond the Twilio ecosystem.
