Meet MailerSend, the Amazon SES alternative that offers more flexible deployment options and increased functionality. Get award-winning customer support, responsive templates, advanced analytics and more.

What MailerSend users think

MailerSend integrates quickly into your tech stack, scales with your sendings, and ensures that your emails get delivered.
I made the switch from Amazon SES after they blocked my account without reason. I was looking for solutions when I found MailerSend. They came like a savior to help me. I was also able to connect my SMTP service, allowing me to use my own email tool. Easy to set up and super nice when it comes to support.
The ease of integration is super. I write predominantly in Golang for back-end services, and I had MailerSend integrated in about sixty seconds flat. I work on small projects, which typically need to move fast, and I've moved to MailerSend for all transactional email services.
What's really worth mentioning is the outstanding customer support. Replies within minutes with an extensive answer and implementation examples.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Amazon SES a cheaper solution?

Amazon SES sending rates are generally very cost-effective, however, this doesn’t include a lot of the features that comprehensive solutions like MailerSend does. For example, to get customer support, reputation monitoring and analytics with Amazon SES, you must pay extra which drives up the cost considerably, making it a more expensive option.
