Manzo and SendGrid
SendGrid has more features than we do. We cost less at volume and bill in naira. Moving from SendGrid means changing your sending code, because we only match Resend's API today.
Choose SendGrid if
- You need SMTP, inbound parsing or open and click tracking today.
- You want a dedicated IP and email validation included in the plan.
- You need EU data residency, single sign-on or a SOC 2 Type II report.
Choose us if
- You want one naira invoice paid by bank transfer, with no dollar card.
- You send 250,000 emails a month or more and want to pay less.
- You want logs that last longer than a week.

SendGrid's page lists plans by size and says taxes and overages may apply, so each price here is the smallest plan that covers the volume. This compares its email API only.
SendGrid's prices are from its pricing page, checked on 8 November 2026, before tax. We convert at ₦1,350 to the dollar, the rate our own prices are set at. Your card or bank rate may be higher.

Moving from SendGrid means changing code
We only match Resend's API today, so SendGrid's SDK and its request format will not work with us. To move, you would:
- Replace your SendGrid calls with the Resend SDK, pointed at our base URL.
- Rebuild your dynamic templates, as HTML or React Email.
- Change your webhook handler, because event names, payloads and signatures differ.
- Publish new DNS records and import your suppression list.
This takes real engineering time. If you only use SMTP, we can't take your email yet.
Tell us what you send today and how many emails a month. We will come back with a plan and a date to move.
