What you give up vs SendGrid
- No built-in marketing automation/journey builder like Mailchimp
- No bundled deliverability/IP reputation management — you supply your own SMTP/SES
- No native landing page or e-commerce/CRM integrations
- Reporting and analytics are basic compared to commercial suites
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host listmonk on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (SendGrid: per-email costs at scale).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
