How does MailPace compare on Price?
SendGrid appears to be cheaper after 20,000 emails, however, you'll need to upgrade to their pricey Pro plan (starting at 89.95 USD) to get features like multiple webhooks, multiple users, bounce/block list management and more. All of these come out of the box with MailPace on all accounts.
