SMTP2GO vs SendGrid: real support, global delivery, a free plan that stays free.

Same reliable transactional and bulk sending you'd expect. But with 24/7 phone, chat and ticket support on every plan, servers on four continents, and email testing built right in.

Try SMTP2GO Free

Support that actually picks up

Reach a real person any time of day by phone, live chat, or ticket. Every plan, free included. SendGrid keeps toll-free phone on its Pro tier and gates live chat behind paid plans, so smaller senders sit in a queue.

Closer servers mean faster mail

SMTP2GO routes through data centres in the US, EU, Australia/NZ, and Singapore. So a sender in Auckland or Sydney isn't bouncing every message halfway round the planet and back. SendGrid runs US and EU only.

Test before you hit send, then keep sending free

Spam-filter checks, inbox previews and screenshot tests come standard, no add-on. And the free plan covers 1,000 emails a month for as long as you like, while SendGrid moved new signups to a 60-day trial back in 2025.

No credit card required
