SendGrid pricing
How SendGrid charges, what to know before you commit, and what you'd pay at your usage — next to what the alternatives would cost for the same thing.

What the model leaves out
Overage charges exist but the pricing page doesn't publish the rates, so each step is modeled as a cap (you'd move up a step instead). Pro 100k ($89.95) is omitted — same volume as Essentials 100k at a higher price, adding dedicated IPs and SSO. The free trial (100 emails/day) ends after 60 days. Above 2.5M/month is Premier (custom pricing).
Before you commit
- The free trial (100 emails a day) ends after 60 days; there's no permanent free plan.
- Going over a plan's limit may incur overage charges, at rates the pricing page doesn't publish.
- Dedicated IPs, SSO and subuser management start with Pro ($89.95/month).
