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.

TalkJS provides a drop-in chat widget with pre-built UI, notifications, and moderation. Add real-time messaging to any app without building from scratch.
Reviewer scorecard
“Transactional email API is rock-solid. Event webhooks for delivery tracking are essential. The standard choice for SaaS apps.”
“Drop-in chat that actually looks good. Pre-built UI with customization saves weeks of development.”
“Deliverability is good and the API is simple. Don't bother with their marketing features though — use Mailchimp for that.”
“Building chat from scratch is a trap. TalkJS handles the hard parts — notifications, read receipts, moderation.”
“The email template builder is basic compared to Mailchimp or ConvertKit. Stick to it for transactional email only.”
“Every app needs messaging. Pre-built chat infrastructure will become as standard as pre-built auth.”
