sendgrid alternative

The best SendGrid alternative for SMTP and API email at scale.

SendGrid is a popular ESP — but dedicated IPs cost extra, marketing and transactional infrastructure are split, and volume pricing climbs fast. SMTPServer includes a dedicated IP, bulk + transactional sending, and spam testing from €39/month.

Why switch from SendGrid to SMTPServer?

If value for money, dedicated infrastructure, and combined transactional + marketing sends matter, SMTPServer is built for volume senders who want transparent EUR pricing and chat support — not tiered upsells for every feature.
