SendGrid Pricing in 2026: The Real Monthly Bill (and Why the Free Plan Is Gone)
As of July 2026, SendGrid no longer has a permanent free plan: the floor is a 60-day trial then Essentials at $19.95/mo (50,000 emails). Pro starts at $89.95/mo (100,000 emails plus one dedicated IP). Your real bill is the base price plus per-email overage ($0.0013 on the 50K plan, $0.0009 on 100K, $0.0011 on entry Pro). A 10K/mo sender pays a flat $19.95; 200K/mo on Pro runs about $199.95 if you eat overage.
