$20 w/MailChimp Transactional: 25,000 mails $20 w/SendGrid: 100,000 mails So let me know if you're thinking about switching. I'd be happy to intro you to someone on our team. Disclosure: I'm with SendGrid. :)

It's more expensive than that for MailChimp, if I understand things correctly. On top of $20 for 25,000 emails you have to have a paid monthly MailChimp account. Or did I misunderstand something?

  That's correct - you also need to have a paid MailChimp account. With SendGrid, use of the marketing product is the add-on (not the other way around).

  Yeah their paid accounts are horrific

Making the switch now. I send less usually 10-20 emails per month using Mandrill, no way I am paying their absurd costs and getting Mailchimp just for that. Sendgrid here I come.

Do you guys have a free plan at all? I've never sent more than 100 emails in a month...

  Sendgrid has 12k free, scroll way down

The github php is confusing and there seems to be several kinds. And the developer there is an asshole. But I use it for now.

I'm looking at switching to SendGrid. 2 questions, do you guys support handlebar in email templates? And do you still have the Microsoft Azure deal?
- etjossem 11y ago
  We support substitution tags in email templates. In other words, you can replace -name- with the name of your customer - it works a lot like {{name}} in a handlebars template. And yes, you can still sign up through the Microsoft Azure marketplace: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/partners/sendgrid/sendgrid-azure/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/partners/sendg... Hope this helps!

I tried to sign up for Sendgrid and my account failed verification. I didn't (and still don't) want to use my company email- even though I offered to confirm that I'm a real person through it. Despite that, I got a canned response telling me to 'change my account email and update my company name' on the account, with a nice red banner telling me I 'failed provisioning'. Especially irritating because I was just trying to troubleshoot a configuration issue for a shared customer.
