The short version

  • Only SendGrid has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Loops pricing is metered at $0.10 per 1,000 emails on top of the contact-based plan tier, adding a variable cost beyond the base subscription; 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
