Will I still pay per-contact monthly fees?

No. sendbunny is a one-time license from $99. Sending is billed by AWS at SES rates, about $0.10 per 1,000 emails. Contact count does not raise a platform tier.

Can I migrate my automations?

You export the list and rebuild flows on sendbunny. Complex CRM pipelines may stay elsewhere; email ownership moves with you.

Do I need to know AWS?

No. You click one pre-filled Create stack button. The installer provisions the platform. You do not write infrastructure by hand.

What about the SES sandbox?

New AWS accounts start in the SES sandbox. The app shows your status and links to the AWS production-access form. You can set everything up and send tests to verified addresses meanwhile.
