SendGrid (now part of Twilio) handles transactional and marketing email at scale. Reliable delivery, good APIs, but the UI and marketing features lag behind dedicated email marketing tools.
Reviewer scorecard
“Clean API for embedding video calls. The prebuilt components save weeks of development time.”
“Transactional email API is rock-solid. Event webhooks for delivery tracking are essential. The standard choice for SaaS apps.”
“For adding video to your app, Daily is simpler than Twilio Video and more modern than Vonage.”
“Deliverability is good and the API is simple. Don't bother with their marketing features though — use Mailchimp for that.”
“Video as a feature in every app requires great APIs. Daily is building the infrastructure layer.”
“The email template builder is basic compared to Mailchimp or ConvertKit. Stick to it for transactional email only.”
