Sending Email with Sendgrid on RoR vs Mailchimp
I use Mailchimp to send my weekly newsletter to about 5000 people. I also have an application written in Ruby on Rails that sends emails via Sendgrid.
Lately, my emails sent through MailChimp are getting in the mail like spam from gmail. I want to switch to using Sendgrid.
I want to know if this is a good solution. None of the individual emails (for example, "congratulations on registration" or "you have a message") that we send via Sendgrid are marked as spam. But the new email I want to send will propagate via email, so I'm not sure if Sendgrid's solution will solve my problems.

SendGrid offers a marketing / mailing tool that is very comparable to what Mailchimp offers. There are a number of super-outstanding startups out there that use it to successfully send their marketing emails (only a few to a million per month).

All that said, switching to SendGrid is a great start, but it's not a guaranteed solution unless you're putting in the effort to monitor and improve your availability. There are tons of resources here:
So the short answer is "yes, if you do your due diligence around the best shipping methods"
