Everything Amazon SES charges extra for, included.
Anypost is the complete sending API, with tracking, webhooks, and managed deliverability already wired in behind one clean endpoint. No SNS topics to configure, no IAM policies, no per-IP surcharges, and at scale it costs less than SES too.
Free for 3,000 emails a month. No AWS account, no sandbox, no IAM.

“$0.10 per 1,000” is the floor, not the bill.
SES meters seven things and leaves the rest for you to build. Anypost meters one, the emails you send, and includes everything else in the plan.

What you'll actually pay
Monthly totals at four volumes. At a million emails a month, Anypost costs less than SES's send fee alone, and far less once you add the deliverability SES charges separately.
| Emails / month | SES, sending only | SES, with deliverability | Anypost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100,000 | $10 | $35 + compute | $20 Starter · save $15/mo |
| 1,000,000 | $100 | $150 + compute | $80 Scale · save $70/mo |
| 2,500,000 | $250 | $300 + compute | $200 Scale + overage · save $100/mo |
| 5,000,000 | $500 | $575 + compute | $400 Scale + overage · save $175/mo |
Amazon SES list prices (June 2026): $0.10 per 1,000 emails, dedicated IPs at $24.95/mo each (1 at 100K, 2 at 1M and 2.5M, 3 at 5M). The “with deliverability” column adds those dedicated IPs (what Anypost manages for you) and is still conservative: it excludes Virtual Deliverability Manager ($0.07/1,000), data transfer ($0.12/GB), SNS event-notification fees, AWS support plans, and the EC2/Lambda compute you run to call the API, so SES's real cost runs higher. Anypost figures are the flat plan price plus metered overage at 8¢/1,000 above 1M; a Custom plan brings high volumes down further. Prices in USD.

A relay you assemble vs. an API that's done.
SES gives you the pipe. Everything around it (auth, events, deliverability, a dashboard) you build and run. Anypost ships it.
Migrate in an afternoon.
Drop the AWS SDK, delete the nesting, and call a flat API. Keep SES running on a subdomain while you verify delivery, then cut over.
import { SESv2Client, SendEmailCommand }
from "@aws-sdk/client-sesv2";
const ses = new SESv2Client({ region: "us-east-1" });
await ses.send(new SendEmailCommand({
FromEmailAddress: "[email protected]",
Destination: { ToAddresses: ["[email protected]"] },
Content: { Simple: {
Subject: { Data: "Welcome", Charset: "UTF-8" },
Body: { Html: { Data: "<p>Hi.</p>", Charset: "UTF-8" } },
} },
}));import { Anypost } from "anypost";
const client = new Anypost("ap_…");
await client.email.send({
from: "[email protected]",

subject: "Welcome",
html: "<p>Hi.</p>",
});When Amazon SES is the better fit
If you're already all-in on AWS, sending mostly to internal systems, or you need tight VPC and IAM integration, SES earns its place. It's a solid relay at the bottom of the stack. Anypost is for teams who want the complete email API (tracking, webhooks, deliverability, and predictable pricing) without wiring it together themselves.
Leave the AWS console behind.
One API key, flat pricing, everything included. Send your first email in minutes.
Free forever up to 3,000 emails a month. No card to start, then as low as 8¢ per 1,000.
