The short version

  • Only SendGrid has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: GetResponse starter, Marketer and Creator plans are all capped at 1,000 contacts regardless of the $19, $59 or $69 monthly price; 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
