Password resets and product emails from one tool, not two vendors.
Transactional API, lifecycle marketing, and a built-in CRM in one account — so you stop stitching SendGrid to a marketing tool and paying both.
Most SaaS teams end up with two email stacks: one for transactional — receipts, resets, verification — and another for onboarding drips and product marketing.
So there's SendGrid at ~$90 a month for the transactional side, plus a separate marketing tool with its own contact-based bill. Two dashboards, two APIs, two invoices, and no single view of the customer.
For a lean team, that's real money and real overhead — for emails that could all come from one place.
Splitting transactional and marketing across two vendors costs twice and shows you half the picture.
Two systems to wire up
One API for transactional, another platform for marketing — double the integration work and double the things that break.
Two bills, both scaling
Volume-based transactional pricing plus contact-based marketing pricing means two invoices that both climb as you grow.
No single customer view
Your product emails and your marketing emails live in different tools, so nobody sees the full journey in one place.
Every email your product sends — one account, one bill.
A reliable transactional API and SMTP, lifecycle automations, and a CRM that ties it all to the customer.
Transactional API & SMTP
Receipts, password resets, verification, and alerts through a clean API or SMTP — with the deliverability tooling to land them.
Lifecycle automations
Onboarding drips, trial nudges, and re-engagement flows in the same account as your transactional email.

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC guidance and monitoring included, so critical resets and receipts reach the inbox.

Why founders consolidate on Bluey
Questions teams ask
Does Bluey have a proper transactional API?
Yes — a transactional email API and SMTP for receipts, password resets, verification, and alerts, with status tracking and deliverability tooling, in the same account as your marketing.
Can I run onboarding and product-marketing emails too?
Yes. Lifecycle automations, drips, and campaigns live alongside your transactional email, and the built-in CRM ties both to each customer — one view, one bill.
How does this save money vs. SendGrid plus a marketing tool?
You replace two scaling invoices with one flat plan that includes transactional, marketing, and CRM — instead of paying volume-based transactional pricing and contact-based marketing pricing separately.
Stop paying two vendors for one job.
