SendGrid
and
Mailgun
firsthand
Sengrid has been such a wonderful system to use to keep track of the emails being sent out by our automatic system. The ability to check if emails bounced, have been blocked, if the emails were opened and even clicked on has been severly helpful in our efforts to educate our guests/customers about the importance of confirmation emails and accountability.
Mid-Market
I'm a full stack developer. I have used Twilio sendgrid at my one of project, in that project basically I have to varify that user when he or she registered. This service helped me to send the email for varification to that particular user. Some things are the best in sendgrid which I appreciate that, like it is open-source. I have faced some error, like you are unauthorised, I am not able to varify and Authorize myself.

Mailgun helps me verify my email list to ensure valid email addresses. This is important for email deliverability and for ensuring my clients receive the information they need from me. It can be a little confusing to get Mailgun setup. Fortunately, they provide step-by-step instructions. It would be better if they gave more video instruction for the "how-to".

Email deliverability for outgoing transactional email... It just works! Easy step by step wizards to get some of the more tricky configuration things in place, already integrated into the platforms I use as a developer. If anything, I'd like there to be a plan between the free and the foundation plan, as some of the paid features would be very useful to experiment with in hobby projects.
