Having used Constant Contact for a while now I'm kind of biased towards them but I'm always looking at new ways and services for doing things. What is the biggest difference between SendGlide and them/what do you have that they don't?

#42I think there is a pretty small market for small businesses who want to use a service like this, but want to / are capable of setting up their own Amazon SES setup. The small business market is already hard since budgets are small and support needs are high.
I thought the same thing. The product looks great, but setting up SES is something that should not be required.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
Google caches those images though. So it isn't accurate for gmail.
Only for repeat opens. The original open still accesses a particular URL specific to that recipient so the open is recorded even if Gmail hides IP, browser, OS, and other data via their proxy. If the user doesn't view the images, that open is never recorded anyway. So, the caching doesn't actually affect the open rate.
They cache them before the email is even read. They also cache images across gmail accounts.
