Looking for a SendGrid alternative?
wemail is the only alternative your existing SendGrid code already speaks. One line changed, a free tier that stays free, 12-month logs, EU data residency by default.
Why teams leave SendGrid
SendGrid ended its permanent free tier. wemail keeps 3,000 sends a month free, forever — no trial clock.
Retention is 3–7 days depending on plan. Debugging last month's issue is impossible. wemail keeps 12 months, searchable.
EU region is a separate opt-in setup. wemail stores and processes in the EU by default — GDPR and DPA ready.
The only alternative that's drop-in
Every SendGrid alternative asks you to rewrite your integration — new SDK, new webhook formats, new templates. wemail's shim speaks SendGrid's wire format: keep your client, change the host, and you're sending.

Common questions
What is the best SendGrid alternative?
It depends on what you're leaving for. If it's the dropped free plan, retention or EU residency — and you don't want to rewrite your integration — wemail is the only alternative with a drop-in SendGrid shim.
Do I have to rewrite my SendGrid integration?
No. Change the host URL to api.wemail.io and your existing client keeps working — send() calls, templates and suppressions included.
Is switching risky?
Traffic shifts gradually over 60 minutes with both providers live, SendGrid stays warm for 30 days, and rollback is one API call.
Try the alternative. For free.
3,000 sends per month, forever. No credit card. Your SendGrid account stays untouched until you cut over.
