Migrate from SendGrid to PostStack
A modern REST API and SDK. Paid plans from €5/month instead of $19.95.
Why switch from SendGrid?
- Paid plans start at €5/month. SendGrid has no tier below $19.95
- Simple, predictable pricing instead of SendGrid's tier-and-add-on model
- IMAP and POP3 mailboxes and DMARC aggregate reports are built in, neither ships in SendGrid
- EU-hosted infrastructure in Helsinki, Finland with GDPR compliance by default
- A modern, typed REST API instead of the SendGrid v3 surface area
