Alternatives to SparkPost
Other Transactional email and notifications vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that SparkPost does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 31 that differ from SparkPost on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
SparkPost has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “publishes and SparkPost does not” is the one that closes them.
