How is this different from Brevo if both charge for sends?

Brevo hosts the app. sendbunny runs in your AWS. You pay SES directly for volume, and a one-time license from $99 for the platform you own.

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.

Can Brevo freeze my sending after I switch?

Not on sendbunny. The platform runs in your AWS account. We never hold credentials that could shut you down.

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.
