    If anyone wants to get leads through email or other marketing instruments by interactive video or presentation, Show is the perfect solution. Show is also a great tool for getting feedback or conducting surveys through video or presentation. Its email credit limit is fantastic. To me, it is great for data-driven marketing and product development

    Twilio SendGrid is well suited for those organizations who need to send mass emails very often to their prospects and customers and thus may be wary of a reliable tool that can do that without affecting domain reputation. It may be less suited for organizations which do not have say more than 10,000 target prospects and thus may rely only on 1:few ABM for sending emails.

    • Managing email lists / audiences is easy with features like groups and segments.
    • They provide pre-built email templates that are very easy to modify. It is also super easy to create new email templates with their drag-and-drop email builder.
    • Provides clear / easy-to-read analytics of email campaigns.
    • I can easily import large email contact lists all at once or add a user manually one-at-a-time, when needed.

    Cons
    Animaker
    • It should have more email integration feature.
    • Show should add Tiktok too as social media.
    • There should have webhooks.

    • Not necessarily their Email API but their email in general - they are currently in beta for automated email sequences but are still bare bones. Much more work is needed before it can be used mainstream and be able to convert everything to SendGrid.
    • Helping with warming up our dedicated IP for the best-sending score.
    • We seem to hit the promotions folder a decent amount (maybe the IP problem above) and even a lot of their emails hit my spam or promotions folder (whether they be transactional or marketing) which isn't a great sign when trusting an ESP.
    • Transactional email sequences would be a huge plus.
    • Now that Twilio owns SenGrid, having an integrated platform where you could see all our transactional emails together.
    • Better reporting and split reporting between transactional and marketing emails.

    It has the potential to be really cool. However, it feels as if it was created by developers for developers (and I work with developers, yet even for me the instrument was somewhat not easy to use - just read SendGrid's help manuals...) However, if you are into data and your way of thinking is more mathematical rather than lyrical, you'll enjoy this instrument

    Twilio SendGrid Email API is everything we want it to be, and we have no reason to look for any other solution. Features and pricing match exactly what we need. As developers for SaaS products, Twilio SendGrid Email API provides a great service. I hope that they stay this way and don't inflate the service with too many marketing oriented features, because there are other tools for that and Twilio SendGrid Email API is a API for sending email first and foremost.

    Show by Animaker is more versatile than other tools same as Show. It is more interactive and dynamic in the context of features and options. Show has all the necessary features like video forms, CTA, real-time reaction, and email integration. Its HTML mode is also fantastic. Analytics is very powerful and helpful for the marketing guys to make marketing decisions

    Sendgrid has a lot of features that other providers have and a few more - like the dynamic template builder, which AWS SES doesn't have. We choose the provider based on the scenario of use and the provider we're using. If we're going to be making regular changes to a template, then we'd go with Sendgrid, as the changes will be easier to make and don't necessarily require developer intervention.

    • As it was cheaper than the transactional service we previously used, it saved costs.
    • The API was relatively easy to work with so it helped us ship the service and test it quickly.
    • We still use the transactional email service, even though we recognize its limits as it meets our immediate needs.
