A SendGrid alternative built for marketing campaigns.
SendGrid is a developer email API first. If your team needs to write, schedule and measure campaigns, Sendonia gives every teammate a seat, sends through Amazon SES in the EU and the US, and still has an API for syncing contacts.
Choose Sendonia if…
- Marketers, not developers, run your campaigns.
- More than one person needs to log in.
- You want campaign sending on your own domain, with an EU sending region.
Choose SendGrid if…
- You need a transactional email API for your application.
- You need automation in Marketing Campaigns.
