that would depend. If you are purely talking about the cost to send the email then yes. But are you taking into consideration the time you need to spend to actually provide the same service that companies like sendgrid do.
setting up relationships with DNSBL lists and spam databases, all the major ISP's and mail providers such as gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc, monitoring these systems for blocks against your IP or domains, removing the blocks. If you just setup a mail server and start blasting out large quantities of email without a care in the world, then in all likely hood large quantities of your emails are probably not going to be delivered in the long term.
