How Peerlist saved 41% of
their email costs with AutoSend.

SendGrid

Marketing Emails

Advanced 200K plan

$900/mo

Transactional Emails

Advanced 200K plan

+ $89.95/mo

Total

$989.95/mo

Peerlist relied on SendGrid for transactional and marketing emails. At under 100k users, they paid $450/month for the Advanced 100k plan plus $89.95 for transactional emails.

When Peerlist crossed 100k users, SendGrid moved them to the Advanced 200k plan at $900/month, even though their sending volume stayed the same.

This cost nearly $1,000/month to send ~600k emails.
