Postmark quality mindset, SES prices

Transactional sending under your control. One-click AWS platform from $99. Pay $0 when idle.

One-time license · one-click AWS install · yours forever

You are in the right place

  • Postmark is built for transactional quality, then bills you for every message as volume grows.
  • You still rent the sending stack. Your app depends on their uptime and policy.
  • Campaigns and list tools are not the product. You bolt on another ESP for marketing.

FAQ

Is sendbunny only for newsletters?
No. You get a transactional API and campaigns in the same platform you own in AWS. Apps that outgrew a pure transactional ESP often land here.
Will I still pay Postmark-style per-message fees?
No SaaS per-message tax. sendbunny is a one-time license from $99. Sending is billed by AWS at SES rates, about $0.10 per 1,000 emails.
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.
