The True Cost of Amazon SES

No AWS Knowledge Required

Simple REST API. Amazon SES requires deep AWS knowledge: SDK, IAM roles, and SNS setup.

2-Minute Setup vs Hours

Start sending immediately. SES can take hours or even days to configure properly and get out of the sandbox.

Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing

Know exactly what you pay. SES has hidden costs for data transfer, SNS, storage, and support.

Support Included Free

Get 24/7 help at no extra cost. AWS support is a complex, paid service starting at $29/month minimum.

Built-in Verification & Storage

Key features are included out of the box. With SES, you have to build these yourself using other AWS services.

Simple, Focused Dashboard

A clear UI designed for email. Not buried deep within the overwhelming AWS Management Console.

All-Inclusive vs. À La Carte

Common Questions

But isn't SES much cheaper per email?

On paper, yes. But this doesn't account for the engineering hours spent on setup and maintenance, the cost of paid support, or the extra costs for other AWS services needed to replicate our features. MailApi.dev's all-inclusive pricing is often cheaper in total cost of ownership.

I'm already on AWS. Is it still worth switching?

Many of our customers use AWS for hosting. They choose MailApi.dev for email because it saves their team significant time and mental overhead, allowing them to focus on their core product instead of wrestling with IAM policies and SNS topics for email.
