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.

Zoom became synonymous with video calling during the pandemic. Reliable, feature-rich video conferencing with AI companions, but faces stiff competition from bundled alternatives.
Reviewer scorecard
“Transactional email API is rock-solid. Event webhooks for delivery tracking are essential. The standard choice for SaaS apps.”
“SDK and API are solid for embedding video. Zoom Apps platform lets you build in-meeting experiences.”
“Deliverability is good and the API is simple. Don't bother with their marketing features though — use Mailchimp for that.”
“Teams and Meet are good enough and already bundled. Zoom's standalone value proposition is shrinking every quarter.”
“The email template builder is basic compared to Mailchimp or ConvertKit. Stick to it for transactional email only.”
“Virtual backgrounds, filters, and the AI companion for meeting summaries keep it ahead for client-facing calls.”
