The short version
- Only SendGrid has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Flodesk flat monthly pricing starting near $19 to $25 per month on annual billing does not scale down for very small lists the way per-subscriber pricing from competitors can; SendGrid free plan caps at 100 emails per day and expires after 60 days, per twilio.com/en-us/products/email-api/pricing (Aug 2026), after which sending requires a paid plan
