## Which one, for what

### Pingram (C)

Good for: An agent that needs to send transactional email and SMS and read replies through one account without separate carrier or SMTP providers.

Watch for: The terms of service forbid using the service for benchmarking. This matters before any probe is run

### SuprSend (BB)

Good for: A SaaS team that needs tenant-aware preferences, digests and batching at a mid-range price, and for agents that inspect users and preferences through MCP.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 69 against 58
- Schema & documentation, 94 against 69
- Agent ergonomics, 87 against 67
- Security & auth, 66 against 51
- Transparency & trust, 66 against 54

Also in its favour:
- Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better
- Runs on your own machine

Watch for: No rate-limit page or 429 guidance

## Verdicts

**Pingram.** Email and SMS go out through one REST call with built-in delivery, per-message prices are public and the free tier needs no card. No rate limits or idempotency keys were found in the reviewed documentation, and the MCP connector acts with the signed-in user's whole account.

**SuprSend.** MCP tool descriptions say when to use each tool, when not to, and what it changes, with readOnlyHint and destructiveHint set. No rate-limit page or 429 guidance.

## Before you call either

### Pingram

1. Use the API host for the account's region. The key and region (`us`, `eu` or `ca`) come from the API Keys page in the dashboard
2. Keep the `trackingId` from each send and check Logs before retrying. No idempotency key was found, so a blind retry can send twice
3. Pass `accountId` on MCP tools when the user belongs to several accounts. Without it the tools use the earliest account joined
4. Create broadcasts as drafts only. Pingram's own skill says a person must send a broadcast from the dashboard
5. Expect 402 when the monthly budget is spent. Unused balance does not roll over

### SuprSend

1. Pass an idempotency key on each trigger. It holds for 24 hours
2. Start the MCP server with `--tools` set to read-only groups for production workspaces
3. Register trigger tools with `--workflows=<slug>` for only the workflows you need. The default registers none
4. Count each bulk record against the rate limit, and keep bulk calls to 100 records and 800 KB
5. Treat management API responses as secrets. They include the workspace secret in plain text
