## Reviews

### "Ok for individual email sends, not ideal for automations." — 3.0/5

> **Hayley** | *April 2, 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Sending individual email campaigns is simple and their design editor is easy to use as a non technical user.
> 
> **Cons**: Their email automations aren’t very dynamic and aren’t easy to edit after they are set to live, it’s especially frustrating you can’t edit time between emails once an automation is live.
> 
> My experience has been ok but not great. I’ve run into bugs that the support team hasn’t been able to help with and often feel limited by the automation capabilities.

### "Terrible Customer Service" — 1.0/5

> **Fernando** | *September 4, 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Seems like a robust email delivery service. N upfront cost. I can start with our free plan and try the full suite of features at my own pace.
> 
> **Cons**: Terrible customer support.  They do not have a contact number or online ticket system. Response by email is very slow.
> 
> My account was hacked and the hacker blocked my IP address. It took SendGrid support 3 day to get back to me. I still don't have access to my account.

### "Abrupt Changes Leave You Hanging\!" — 1.0/5

> **Justin** | *July 30, 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to format emails and build automations was straightforward for our simple use case. We used the API capability to sync our contacts and basic marketing automation.
> 
> **Cons**: We have a low volume, simple use case. Suddenly they change their pricing and require that we pay $60/mo to send our ~50 emails per month\! Unsustainable of course, and after we heavily invested to build the API integration, it was as you'd expect an unfortunate turn of events that left us high and dry.
> 
> We were happy users for years. Then the email about pricing changes - a whopping $60/mo minimum because we used basic marketing automation (a welcome email when users sign up). I wasn't able to completely refactor the integration before the cutoff, so now I have no automation and they deleted all my contacts and my templates, so I get to rebuild ALL of that from scratch. Awesome\!

### "SendGrid : Perfect and easy to use tool for Precision and Scalibility of Marketing campaigns" — 5.0/5

> **Raxit** | *March 24, 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Excellent detailed insights with filter options to track emails/SMS to customers and comprehensive Analytic features like delivery rates and click through rates.
> 
> **Cons**: Sendgrid provides excellent services but the pricing point might become higher when high tier plans are considered which unlocks advanced features.
> 
> Overall, highly recommended tool for your business for your notification emails or marketing emails. it has some very useful features like open rates and unique customers to track progress of the campaigns.

-----

### "Effective and affordable" — 4.0/5

> **Olivia** | *May 20, 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: SendGrid is straightforward and does what we need it to do for an affordable price.
> 
> **Cons**: SendGrid is not complex enough for out marketing email needs.
> 
> We have used SendGrid for transactional emails for over ten years. It works. It’s simple. It’s affordable.
