Hello, I received this email from sendgrid (maybe you too…) Is there another free alternative elsewhere if so which one? (compatible with EMailSender)
Thank youAhoy!
We’re reaching out because you’re either on a Free Email API plan and/or a Free Marketing Campaigns Plan. We want to let you know about an upcoming change to your SendGrid account and ensure you have plenty of time to prepare.
We’ll soon be retiring the Free Email API and Free Marketing Campaigns plans. You’ll have full access to your current features for the next 60 days– including your sending limits, templates, contact management, and automation tools. After that, email sending will be paused unless you upgrade, and access to Marketing Campaigns will also be disabled.
Quick heads up: If you have more than 100 contacts stored in your free account, those extras will be deleted once the 60-day transition period ends. To avoid losing your contacts, we recommend exporting your contacts now so you have time to choose the plan that works best for you.This change won’t impact your paid plans– they’ll continue working just like they do today.
We know changes like this can be unexpected, but we’re here to help make the transition smooth. Whether you’re sending just a few emails or scaling up quickly, we’ve got flexible options to fit your needs—and we’d love to keep supporting you on your email journey.
You’ve got a discount waiting!
As a free user, you can get 50% off any paid plan when you upgrade by August 31, 2025. The sooner you upgrade, the more you save—your discount lasts only through August 31. Upgrade in June? That’s three months at half price. Upgrade in August? Just one.
This 50% off applies to your whole invoice, including add-ons. No hoops to jump through or support tickets needed–if you upgrade before August 31, we’ll automatically set you up on our side.And if you change your plan or downgrade and come back later? No worries. Your discount still applies through August 31.
Stay on track with a plan that fits your needs and powers up your sending. Go to your Settings> Account Details > Your Products to see the options that are available to you.
Thanks again for being a builder in the Twilio SendGrid community. We’re here to make this transition smooth and successful—and we hope to keep sending with you for a long time to come.

Hello, I’ve already tried MailJet, but so far it’s been unsuccessful after creating the account (2 different email addresses). I contacted their support, it seems complicated… Here’s what they’re asking me following these contacts: I just received feedback from our compliance team requesting additional information. Could you provide the information requested below:
Please describe your business and the services you provide?
What will your monthly mailing volume be?
How are your contacts added to your list? Is your list built over time via a signup form on your website, was it acquired or purchased by a third party, or something else?
Please provide the URL of your signup form.
How old are your lists?
How do you manage/maintain your lists?
If you send transactional messages:
How will they be triggered?Could you provide a sample of these emails?
And following my feedback:
Thank you for your feedback and the details provided.
After reviewing the ticket, it was determined that we needed to contact another group of colleagues. We’ve forwarded the ticket to them, and they’ll get back to you as soon as possible.As long as I’m waiting with them, I’ll look into the other providers you mentioned… Thank you.
