SendiventvsTwilio+SendGrid

The DIY notification stack problem

Many teams start by integrating Twilio SMS and SendGrid email separately. It works, but over time you end up with:

• Two integrations and two SDKs to maintain
• Two sets of templates to keep in sync
• Two dashboards and two distinct pricing models
• Separate analytics for each channel

Sendivent replaces this complexity with one unified platform, handling email deliverability and SMS from a single API.

How Sendivent simplifies the stack

Instead of calling SendGrid for email and Twilio for SMS:

// Before: Two separate API calls
await sendgrid.send({ to, subject, html });
await twilio.messages.create({ to, body });

// After: One event-based call
await sendivent
  .event('order.shipped')
  .to({ email: user.email, phone: user.phone })
  .payload({ orderId: order.id, trackingUrl: order.trackingUrl })
  .send();

You define which channels fire for each event in the dashboard. Your code just emits events.

When to keep Twilio + SendGrid

The DIY approach makes sense if you need:

• Voice calling or video (Twilio-specific)
• Maximum flexibility per channel
• Existing deep integrations you can't migrate

When to switch to Sendivent

Consider Sendivent if you:

• Want one API instead of multiple integrations
• Need your product team to manage messages without code
• Want simpler pricing based on users notified
• Value unified analytics across channels

Bottom line

Twilio + SendGrid gives you maximum control at the cost of complexity. Sendivent gives you simplicity at the cost of some flexibility. For most product notification use cases, the unified approach wins.

Two providers, two APIs, two bills — or one. Start with a free account and consolidate your notification stack. One integration, one dashboard, predictable pricing.
