Frequently asked questions

Can Zyphr handle the same email volume as SendGrid?

Yes. Zyphr uses AWS SES under the hood, which handles billions of emails daily. Our Scale plan supports 500,000+ emails per month with dedicated IP options for high-volume senders.

Does Zyphr support marketing emails like SendGrid?

No. Zyphr focuses exclusively on transactional messaging — emails triggered by user actions. For marketing campaigns (newsletters, promotions), we recommend keeping a dedicated marketing platform.

Why switch from SendGrid to Zyphr?

If you're using SendGrid for transactional email AND a separate service for auth (Auth0, Cognito) and push notifications (OneSignal, Firebase), Zyphr consolidates all three into one platform. Fewer vendors, fewer bills, zero glue code.

How long does migration take?

Most teams complete the migration in under an hour. The API is similar in structure to SendGrid's, and Zyphr supports Handlebars templates so most templates work with minimal changes.
