SendGrid's free offer here is a 60-day trial, not a standing monthly allowance. SendPanda Free stays at 1,000 emails a month.
SendGrid Inbound Parse delivers incoming mail to your app by webhook. SendPanda keeps an inbox for the domain. It is not IMAP. If you send millions of emails a month, SendGrid Pro will serve you better than SendPanda's largest self-serve plan of 200,000.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is SendPanda cheaper than SendGrid?
At 100,000 emails, SendGrid Essentials is $34.95 and SendPanda Growth is $29, on October 2026 list prices. SendPanda includes newsletters in that plan. SendGrid sells them separately.
Can I move a SendGrid template?
Yes. Paste the HTML and edit it visually, or keep it as HTML. Verify the domain with three DNS records, create a key and swap the send call.
When we're not the right fit: if you send millions of emails a month, Amazon SES directly or SendGrid Pro will serve you better. Our largest plan is 200,000 a month; for dedicated IPs or more volume, email us about Enterprise. And if you need Outlook or Apple Mail to connect straight to a mailbox, that is not ready yet: our inbox is for support-style mail with daily limits, and you can forward any mailbox to Outlook or Gmail meanwhile.
