Mailchimp made email marketing approachable for people who are not marketers. The editor, the templates, and the reporting are all pitched at a small business owner rather than at a growth team.
Twilio turned telecommunications into an HTTP request, and the abstraction held. Sending a message to a phone anywhere in the world became a few lines of code rather than a carrier negotiation.

Gmail's search is still the reason to use it. Conversation threading, effectively unlimited retention on paid plans, and spam filtering that most self-hosted setups cannot match make it the default even for people uncomfortable with the arrangement.
SendGrid handles the part of email nobody wants to own: reputation, authentication, bounce processing, and the endless negotiation with inbox providers about whether your mail is wanted.

Novu takes the notification logic that usually ends up scattered across a codebase - which channel, which template, which quiet hours, which digest window - and puts it behind one API and one workflow editor.
Listmonk is a single Go binary and a Postgres database that handles subscriber lists, segmentation, campaigns, and bounce processing at a scale that would be expensive on a hosted platform.
