Frequently asked questions
How does Stack0 compare to SendGrid pricing?
SendGrid uses tiered pricing that starts at $19.95/month for their Email API Essentials plan. Stack0 charges $0.50 per 1,000 emails with no monthly minimum. For most startups and small teams, Stack0 is significantly cheaper.
Does Stack0 have all the features SendGrid has?
Stack0 covers the core email features most developers need: transactional email, campaigns, sequences, templates, and analytics. Some enterprise features like dedicated IP pools require our add-ons. We focus on the features that matter for modern applications.

Stack0 uses industry-standard authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and maintains strong sender reputation. Our deliverability is comparable to SendGrid's for well-configured senders.
Can I migrate my SendGrid templates?
SendGrid templates will need some adjustment since they use different templating syntax. However, Stack0's template system is straightforward, and migration typically takes minimal effort.

Stack0 includes marketing features (campaigns, audiences, sequences) in the same SDK as transactional email. No separate product or pricing tier required.
Is Stack0 suitable for high-volume senders?
