    Sinch (formerly CLX Communications)
    Chose Sinch Mailgun
    We chose Mailgun over sendgrid and Postmark because we really like their API. We have stuck with them because they have never given us any reason to switch. Their reliability is superb and their API remains excellent. sendgrid and Postmark are both good in their own rites, …

    Chose Sinch Mailgun
    All three solution we evaluated are compatible and integrated in Google Cloud Platform (the cloud solution we use). We went for Sinch Mailgun since we already used Sinch to handle SMSs, and they are from the same Company.

    Chose Sinch Mailgun
    I am in Email marketing space over 8 years. And Sinch Mailgun was far most the worst experience I got. Not suggested.

    Chose Sinch Mailgun
    To be honest, the tools are quite similar and again I dont recommend using them as a standalone products, but they power the work we do via CRMs and our marketing campaigns. Mailgun integrates slightly better which it is why it is the preferred choice for our agency, as it …

    Chose Sinch Mailgun
    Not really a con but I typically choose SendGrid over Mailgun simply because I've been using SendGrid for so long. Overall, SendGrid and Mailgun are both rock solid and very affordable. You could probably flip a coin on which one to use. I would definitely look into SendGrid's …

    Chose Sinch Mailgun
    Mailgun was selected by the co-founders and original development team. But once I took over as the head of development and marketing we switched over to the competitor, SendGrid. SendGrid was not only cheaper, but gave us a much more robust product with marketing emails, ads, a …

    Mailgun answers support tickets inside of 24 hours and has as good as or better deliverability, and their team is knowledgeable and responsive.

    Chose Twilio SendGrid
    Before using SendGrid we used Mailchimp and were very limited with segmenting our users. Then we moved to ActiveCampaign and paid a ton of money for sending a few promotional emails per month. Then we got SendGrid - letting us rid both of ActiveCampaign and Mailgun and having …

    Chose Twilio SendGrid
    Twilio SendGrid stacks up well to its direct competiros like Mailgun and BigMailer, but it doesnt stack up again more complex marketing automation tools like HubSpot and ActiveCampaign. That is understandable as it doesnt seem to be the purpose of the platform, but it is worth …

    Chose Twilio SendGrid
    Originally our engineering team selected SendGrid because it was a well-known brand and highly regarded as the leader in email deliverability services. My executive team at the time was familiar with the brand as well, and had worked with key stakeholders at SendGrid prior to …

    Chose Twilio SendGrid
    I like SendGrid best for my most important transsactional emails because I feel they have the highest chance of getting through.
    I also use Amazon SES, but only use them for less important transactional emails. SES is cheaper, but their reputation isn't as good with ISPs so …

    Chose Twilio SendGrid
    Easier to use, especially easier than Amazon SES. Also, MUCH better support access than with Amazon.
