SendGrid

Pros

The sending reputation is very strong and email deliverability rates are among the best in the industry+152
Dynamic templates with Handlebars support are powerful and the template editor in the dashboard works well for non-developers+137
The Event Webhook fires on every email event — opens, clicks, bounces, spam reports — giving you fine-grained visibility+118
Free tier of 100 emails per day is enough for basic transactional email in development and early testing+98

Cons

Twilio's acquisition and restructuring have led to support quality degradation — tickets sit unanswered for days+148
The v3 API documentation is improved but the legacy v2 docs still appear in Google results and create confusion for developers+112
