// EDITOR'S TAKE
useSend is the closest drop-in for the transactional half, offering an API and SMTP relay you can point at your own SES or SMTP backend, with hyvor-relay a leaner option when you only need the sending API. Listmonk covers the campaign side better than any of them, but be honest about the trade-off: none of these projects inherit SendGrid's IP reputation, so warm-up and deliverability become your job.
