Posthawk vs SendGrid
side by side
SendGrid is powerful but expensive at scale, closed-source, and locks you into their infrastructure. Posthawk gives you the same capabilities with full control over your data and no per-email fees.

Why switch to Posthawk
No per-email markup
SendGrid charges $0.001–$0.003 per email on top of infrastructure. With Posthawk, you pay only AWS SES rates — typically 10x cheaper.
Full data ownership
SendGrid retains email bodies for 72 hours and metadata for up to 30 days. Posthawk never logs email bodies — your data stays on your infrastructure.
No vendor lock-in
SendGrid's proprietary API means migration is painful. Posthawk is self-hostable — you have full control and can switch anytime.
Full control
Self-host and control every aspect of how your emails are handled. No black boxes, no hidden data processing, no telemetry.
