The short version

  • Only SendGrid has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Textline outbound messages beyond the plan allowance are billed per message at $0.03 to $0.04 each, plus a separate campaign registration fee
