Is there a subscriber tier on sendbunny?

No. The license is one-time from $99. Sending is billed by AWS at SES rates. Growing the list does not bump a platform contact plan.

Can I run a newsletter and transactional email?

Yes. Campaigns and a transactional API run in the same platform in your AWS.

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.
