How Peerlist saved 41% of their email costs with AutoSend.
Peerlist relied on SendGrid for all their transactional and marketing emails.
At <100k users, they were on SendGrid’s Advanced 100k plan at $450/month, plus an extra $89.95 transactional email plan.
But the moment Peerlist crossed 100k users, SendGrid bumped them into the next pricing tier.
The Advanced 200k plan suddenly cost $900/month, even though their sending volume stayed the same.
That's almost $1,000/month just to send ~600k emails.
With AutoSend, the cost dropped immediately.
AutoSend doesn't charge for storing contacts.
AutoSend offers simple volume-based plans that include both marketing and transactional emails in the same plan.
Peerlist only needed the 600k email plan — priced at $580/per month, covering everything they send.
That's a monthly saving of $409.95, or about 41% less than SendGrid.
