Pricing that does not creep
Pick a volume tier and that is the bill. No per-seat fees, no features held back for a higher plan, no surprise add-ons. Extra volume is a flat, published rate.
PufferPost vs SendGrid
A simpler SendGrid
alternative.
SendGrid is powerful, but for a small team sending receipts and alerts it can feel like an enterprise platform you have to wrestle. PufferPost gives you the full transactional product on every plan, a no-code builder, and no per-seat fees, from €5 a month.

Why small teams move off SendGrid.
Not because SendGrid is bad, but because most teams sending transactional email do not need a marketing suite, per-seat billing, or a setup project. They need email that lands, that they can change themselves, at a price that does not creep.

The full product on day one

Switching from SendGrid, answered.
Is PufferPost a good SendGrid alternative for small teams?
Yes. It is built for creators and small teams who want transactional email without enterprise complexity: every feature on every paid plan, no-code editing, and a flat volume price with no per-seat fees.
Is it cheaper than SendGrid?
Plans start at €5 a month for the complete product, with extra volume at a flat published rate. No per-seat fees and no features locked behind higher tiers, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Do I lose features by switching?
For transactional email, no. Templates, workflows, signed webhooks, delivery and open or click tracking, suppression lists and a contact directory are all included. PufferPost does not do bulk marketing campaigns by design.
Can I move over without a developer?
You design and edit templates and automations in the dashboard yourself. When you are ready to connect your app there is a clean API and ready-made SDKs for your developer.
