  "tagline": "Cheapest bulk email (AWS)",
  "price": "A la carte $0.10 per 1,000 emails. Essentials plan $0.16 per 1,000. Outbound attachment data $0.12/GB, managed dedicated IPs $15/mo. New AWS accounts get up to $200 in Free Tier credits.",
  "tier": "paid",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "Amazon's raw email-sending service and the cheapest way to push real volume. You get an API and SMTP endpoint, configuration sets, event publishing to SNS and CloudWatch, dedicated IPs and a Virtual Deliverability Manager. Templates, analytics and any usable dashboard you build yourself.",
  "why": "At 100,000 emails a month SES costs about ten dollars where Resend costs ninety. Worth the ergonomics hit once volume is real and you already run on AWS.",
  "warn": "New accounts start in a sandbox — you can only mail verified addresses until AWS approves production access, which takes hours to days. The old 62,000-free-from-EC2 tier is gone; only $200 of general Free Tier credit remains.",
