Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) vs. Sendwithus

Amazon Simple Email Service comes with the bundle of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and it also offers a limited number of emails per month for free. One who has a technical background and wants to send custom emails with custom domains in a professional way can go with Amazon Simple Email Service. If you have no technical background or tech team, it might not be useful for you.

It is very well suited for newsletters. With newsletters, I can easily and frequently share market news with my clients. It also gives good results in transactional emails. Its drip email feature makes it a result oriented tool because it sends e-mail as per the recipient's convenience.

We did not have the need of contacting Amazon for support. The documentation they provide is of great quality. Examples are easy to follow. One thing to have into consideration is we didn't have the premium support for AWS, so I can't provide details on how good or bad this service is, but in general, the basic support I had was great.

Mailchimp has a fixed monthly price, and with the number of emails that we sent, it's pretty expensive. Since our mailings are quite infrequent, using Mailchimp didn't make financial sense for us, even though Mailchimp is a more polished, packaged solution for email marketing. We evaluated other email delivery solutions as well and didn't find anything that matches Amazon SES on reliability and pricing.

Its user interface is quite impressive. And its drip email feature gives us the maximum outcome on our promotional campaigns. It also helps us to reduce unsubscribe rate on our email campaigns. I also find some templates on this tool very much relatable to the kind of information I share with my clients so I don't need to alter those templates much.

• SES is still more cost effective than other email services like Mailgun.
• Unless we have a high-traffic month, staying within the free tier is very nice for our bottom line.
• Not having to spend time worrying about SES reliability saves us frustration and money.

• By using this software we send digital newsletters instead of Paper newsletters. So we save our costs substantially.
• I send newsletters to all my contacts in one click only. Whereas earlier we used to send paper newsletters to all my contacts and that incurred transportation cost.
