Why teams move to Mailhuset

Pricing you can read

A monthly allowance to start, then one rate per thousand emails after that. No feature ladder to climb, no surprise line items.

A complete foundation on every plan

Inbound email, broadcasts, signed webhooks and the full activity log are on the smallest plan and the largest one alike.

EU by default

Your mail is sent and stored in the EU without moving to a higher tier to keep data in region.

Common questions

Is Mailhuset a good SendGrid alternative?
Yes. Mailhuset covers the same transactional email ground as SendGrid, sends and stores in the EU by default, and includes inbound email, broadcasts, signed webhooks and the full activity log on every plan. You can verify a domain and send a test in minutes to compare it against what you send today.
Can I migrate from SendGrid to Mailhuset?
You can. Verify your sending domain, point your application at Mailhuset's REST API or one of the official SDKs, and send. Domain authentication uses the same open standards (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), so moving is mostly a credential and endpoint change rather than a rebuild.
Does Mailhuset send transactional email from the EU?
Yes. Mailhuset sends and stores transactional email in the EU by default, with no region upgrade or extra configuration. If EU data residency is a requirement, it is the standard behaviour rather than something you opt into.
How does Mailhuset's pricing compare to SendGrid?
Mailhuset gives you a monthly allowance and then one clear rate per thousand emails after it, so a quiet month costs less. See the pricing page for the current allowance and rate. At 10,000 emails a month: Mailhuset, $9 a month on Starter, then $0.80 per 1,000. SendGrid, $19.95 a month and up on Essentials. The free trial ends after 60 days. Prices checked 1 November 2026.
