I have been using Sendgrid for a while now, and the main reason to select it in the first place was because of the data analytics it offered and data security. Its high deliverability and rates and the pricing offered for our requirement suited our budget; hence, we chose it over Mailchimp and Sendinblue.

Sendgrid has a lot of features that other providers have and a few more - like the dynamic template builder, which AWS SES doesn't have. We choose the provider based on the scenario of use and the provider we're using. If we're going to be making regular changes to a template, then we'd go with Sendgrid, as the changes will be easier to make and don't necessarily require developer intervention.

Originally our engineering team selected SendGrid because it was a well-known brand and highly regarded as the leader in email deliverability services. My executive team at the time was familiar with the brand as well, and had worked with key stakeholders at SendGrid prior to the Twilio acquisition. Our company cultures were similar and we did not hesitate to standardize on SendGrid for our internal and client-facing services. However, recently, we have migrated several hundred clients off the platform and into a combination of AWS SES, Mailjet, and Mailgun depending on their exact needs. The problems I have shared only describe a fraction of the absolute mess of operations we've seen at Twilio SendGrid. It was more labor efficient to manually migrate away from SendGrid than it was to try to work with their support and operations teams.

I use both. SendGrid as I stated before I use in a very simple manner - just as an email server basically- because the
email list I’m using is originates through ClickFunnels. They have enough reporting for me. Although I could definitely use click tracking so I may implement that with SendGrid if it is available in my plan.

Twilio SendGrid stacks up against SharpSpring and Adobe Advertising Cloud because it resolves sending emails in a easy way with a low cost and a lot free quotas. So if you need to only integrates a list register, a easy newsletter send or even a smtp integration, Twilio SendGrid is the best alternative.

Twilio SendGrid is a great all around email marketing solution. It does everything that Mailchimp can do but offers a whole host of other features a professional marketeer would require. Mailchimp does not support email campaigns that promote gambling products.

We have been looking for an email marketing provider that would match the budget ("not too high" :), our database numbers (over 10K subscribers), and convenience. MailChimp is very convenient and easy to use, but it was expensive at 10K+ subscribers. Emma, which I haven't used, but evaluated, was even more expensive. SendGrid was the tool that our developers were already using for transactional emails, therefore it made sense to try it. Also, SendGrid was four times cheaper than MailChimp.

We also have Kartra, which is not in your list. Seriously, if I’m running the campaign, it’s SendGrid. I’m not a tech guy, but I can use it and can even design something and get the HTML code out if I need to.
My biggest gripe is that it’s so hard to move data across platforms, but I understand that’s GDPR driven, not compatibility.

We prefer Twilio SendGrid as a solution, simpler installation, very low failure rate (less than 1%) Our goal is a 1 step solution that we never have to go back to, that way the client is only billed once and their ROI remains high.

We selected SendGrid for the flexibility it offered us where we could set up APIs from our own database and CDP to trigger one-to-one messages, automate campaigns, personalize comms and save money over other systems that require you to host your data in their systems and charge a monthly fee. The system lets us select vendors that work for us to handle other objectives rather than trying to do everything out of the box.

We considered using Mailchimp from the beginning but we weren't in a place where we needed everything Mailchimp had to offer and we needed a simpler solution that was easy to implement and use. SendGrid served us well as a bigger stage company with limited funds and needs but now we are looking at switching to something more.

Some of the other platforms we have used in the past appeared to be cheaper up front, but in the long run... they were a lot more costly than Twilio SendGrid. Some of the other email marketing tools did not offer drag and drop features that make building an email campaign easy for any user, even those with less technical background or knowledge. Lastly, the customer services provided by Twilio SendGrid is much more accessible than any other platform we've used.

The only other transactional email program I've used inside of Dinely was Mailgun. Mailgun is great with deliverability and relatively cost effective as well. The only issue is it's not able to be rapidly implemented. If we wanted to design up transactional emails that wow our customers we would have to either: have me spend hours and hours doing extra work, or hire a freelancer to help out. Which both would cost relatively $1,000s and take a few weeks. Whereas with SendGrid email API and their transactional emails, I was able to pump these out in a few hours, save templates, and get our necessary 10-20 transaction emails out within a day.

Before using SendGrid we used Mailchimp and were very limited with segmenting our users. Then we moved to ActiveCampaign and paid a ton of money for sending a few promotional emails per month. Then we got SendGrid - letting us rid both of ActiveCampaign and Mailgun and having all our emails in one central location.

Not only did we save a ton of money with the SendGrid Accelerate program but we will also save $200 a month once we are on a paid plan. While some of the features (lead scoring, automations) aren't as advanced as ActiveCampaign, SendGrid is perfect for our startup with 50k+ email list.

All of the aforementioned competing services don't have a transactional email component along with their email marketing campaign services. Also, SendGrid is the most economical value of the 4, while 2nd place goes to MailChimp with regard to pricing. I liked SendGrid out of the group best, as it allowed for the most custom control.

If I consider the the easiness in functionality of Email Editor in SendGrid Marketing Email software, it matches my expectations. I don't need to train my colleagues for the usage of this software. In my absence also anyone can create email campaigns and send it very easily. So I chose this software.
