I don't really get what's exceptional here? $0.10 for 1000 emails is the normal AWS SES price... This is just a high markup for something you have open source

  Can you share some of the oss equivalents that you’ve used and liked?

  It’s actually worse. Their page is a lie. It tells you what you’ll pay to them, but you’ll also be charged by AWS at the AWS rate (this is stated later in the FAQ, but the blatant marketing lie really grinds my gears)

    Their free tier is 10k, you just pay the AWS cost. So 10k for $1.
    • wredue 3y ago
      All of the tiers lie. The solo tier lists $12, but would actually be $17.

  If the normal price is $0.10 for 1k emails, then the normal price for 10k emails is $1. Where’s the high markup?

    Because as soon as you want to send more than 10K emails in a month, this tool charges a minimum of $12 a month (+ the SES cost).

    > if you send 50,000 emails per month, you would pay $5 to AWS (as AWS charges $1 for every 10,000 emails) and $12 to Mail Layer. Therefore, to send 50,000 emails, your total cost would be $17. the web site makes you get down the page, then open up FAQs to really understand how the pricing works.
