SendGrid

What it is for

SendGrid is a hosted activity-feed desk: you open Activity, and the trial is $0 / month for 60 days. Use it when the job is delivered rows you search at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official SendGrid Activity Feed (Delivered / Welcome to SendGrid! to richardoe@sendgrid.com, Export CSV, Reputation 100%) from the docs still — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Activity. SendGrid bills $0 trial then $19.95 / $89.95 tiles, not a chat seat.

Key features

• Activity — a delivered / bounce row you search and export (cover still; docs). One feed. Cover richardoe@sendgrid.com sits here.
• Statistics — an aggregate opens / clicks / bounces chart (docs). Stats, not a row. Categories sit here.
• Dynamic Templates — an HTML / Handlebars layout you send (docs). A template, not a chart. Versions sit here.
• Suppressions — a bounce / spam / unsubscribe list (docs). A suppression, not a template. Blocks sit here.
• Sender Authentication — a domain / DKIM you verify (docs). A domain, not a suppression. SPF sits here.

The Advanced Search on the cover is the same Activity pipeline (not a sixth desk). Trial / Essentials / Pro tiles are the meter. Email Activity history add-on is the extra meter, not a desk we fold into Activity.

Who it's for

Best fit: app teams who will stay on the $0 / 60-day trial (100 emails / day) while they open a first Activity feed, then buy Essentials at $19.95 / month (50,000 emails) when the trial ends.

Pricing

• Free Trial — $0 / month for 60 days. 100 emails / day. No credit card. 1 teammate. 1 event webhook. Sending stops after 60 days unless you pick a paid tile.

• Premier — custom.

Confirm checkout; taxes and overages follow your location. There is no forever-free Email API tile on the page we fetched.

Limitations / costs

• The $0 tile is a 60-day trial, not forever. After day 60, sending stops until you buy $19.95.
• $19.95 is 50,000 emails. Crossing that is overage or the $34.95 100k tile.
• An activity-feed desk, not a Postmark Servers list. For Postmark see Postmark. For Resend see Resend.

Alternatives

• Postmark — servers + streams when you want Postmark’s $0 / $15 list, not SendGrid’s $0 trial / $19.95 Activity feed.
• Resend — transactional + marketing when you want Resend’s $0 / $20 desk, not SendGrid’s Welcome-to-SendGrid row.
• Mailtrap — sending stats when you want Mailtrap’s $0 / $15 Stats tile, not SendGrid’s Export CSV.
