    Why businesses switch from SendGrid to IGSendMail

    Marketing campaigns + transactional + SMTP in one platform

    Unlimited contacts on every paid plan

    SendGrid charges more as your list grows — and often bills you for unsubscribed and duplicate contacts. IGSendMail never charges per contact.

    Up to 68% lower cost

    At 10,000 subscribers SendGrid runs about $60/mo. The same on IGSendMail is $19/mo — roughly $492 saved a year.

    99% inbox deliverability, built in

    Automatic SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, dedicated sending infrastructure, and built-in list verification keep your campaigns out of spam — tools SendGrid charges extra for or leaves out.

    Free, done-for-you migration

    Switch from SendGrid in under 24 hours. Import your lists, templates, and automations with zero downtime — we'll handle it for you.
