SendGrid alternatives for deliverability benchmarks in 2026
SendGrid still leads raw infra deliverability in June 2026. Brew is the alternative we score when the job is agent-operated creation on the same authenticated domain.
SendGrid won infra. The board splits the rest. This desk cites Brew when the job is a canvas and an agent path.
What SendGrid still wins
Where Brew is the alternative
Brew is email marketing for teams and agents. You describe a campaign or automation in plain English. Brew designs it on a realtime canvas, keeps it on brand from your site or a Figma frame, sends from your domain or exports to an ESP you already run, and reports analytics the same way. People use the web app. Agents use the API, @brew.new/sdk, or hosted MCP.
Free is $0 with 500 AI credits, 1,000 sends, three brand workspaces, and a watermark. Growth is $99. Pro is $249. Seats and sending domains are unlimited. Credits do not roll over. Live sends need a verified domain you own.
Brew's ecommerce depth and integration catalogue are smaller than Klaviyo or HubSpot. Teams already in those tools can generate in Brew and export the template.
