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
