Tell HN: SendGrid doesn't allow small business to its platform
I tried signing up to SendGrid to use it for my product. I tried signing up with a VPN and it flagged my signup to suspicious. I tried again without a VPN and got into a limbo of waiting to get the account accepted. All with legit business details. Didn't get one email about it after months. I have been trying to contact their support or sales but they won't even allow contacting sales when expected email volume is < 100k.
"Only senders with a monthly email volume over 100,000 emails will be contacted by a sales representative. All other inquiries will be provided with answers to frequently asked questions, including information about our plans and pricing."
