The SendGrid alternative that grows past email
SendGrid does email. WeZend does email — transactional and marketing — plus SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, voice and push, with deliverability tooling, journeys and a CDP on the same API key.
SendGrid is a solid email API, and if all you'll ever send is email, it does the job. But teams rarely stay email-only: the day someone asks for an order-update SMS or a WhatsApp notification, you're integrating a second vendor, reconciling two dashboards and duplicating suppression logic.
WeZend is the single integration that covers the whole arc: transactional email through the same API as marketing campaigns, plus SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, voice and push when you need them. Deliverability is first-class — guided SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup, warm-up plans, inbox-placement insight — and underneath sits a CDP and journey engine, so the platform grows from "send this receipt" to "orchestrate this lifecycle" without a re-platforming project.
Why teams make the switch
One key, every channel
The send endpoint takes a channel parameter — adding SMS or WhatsApp to your product is a field, not a vendor evaluation.
Deliverability with guardrails
Domain verification wizard, DNS checker, warm-up guidance and a deliverability autopilot that flags problems before they hit revenue.
Marketing and transactional together
One suppression model, one template system and one analytics view across both — no more "which system sent this?".
A CDP when you're ready
Events, unified profiles and computed traits are already under the hood — turn engagement data into segments and journeys without new infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
Will my transactional templates work?
Templates port over as HTML with variable substitution — the migration guide maps SendGrid's substitution syntax to WeZend's. Test sends against a seed list before switching the API key.
How disruptive is the DNS change?
Not at all if you sequence it: verify your domain on WeZend (new selectors, so nothing collides), warm it up alongside SendGrid, then move traffic gradually. The DNS checker validates every record live.
One platform. Every customer interaction.
Replace your patchwork of messaging APIs, CDP and automation tools with a single engagement platform built for scale.
