Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cloud-based email sending service that allows you to send both transactional and marketing emails to your customers. It provides a simple and cost-effective way to send emails through the AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud infrastructure, while ensuring high deliverability rates, reliable email sending, and easy integration with other AWS services.

Costs

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) offers a flexible pricing model based on the number of emails sent, as well as additional charges for certain features. Here's a breakdown of the main costs associated with using Amazon SES: Email Sending Fees: Amazon SES charges a fee for every email sent through the service. The fee varies depending on the destination of the email (i.e., within the same region or in a different region) and whether the email is a standard email or a marketing email. As of September 2021, the fee for sending standard emails within the same region is $0.10 per 1,000 emails, and the fee for sending marketing emails within the same region is $0.12 per 1,000 emails. Data Transfer Fees: Amazon SES charges data transfer fees for data transfer out of the service. The fee varies depending on the amount of data transferred and the destination of the data. As of September 2021, the fee for data transfer out of Amazon SES to the internet is $0.09 per GB. Additional Feature Fees: Amazon SES offers additional features such as dedicated IP addresses, email validation, and dedicated IP pools. These features come with additional fees that vary depending on the feature and the region. It's important to note that the pricing for Amazon SES may change over time, so it's a good idea to check the AWS website for the most up-to-date pricing information. Additionally, AWS offers a free tier for new customers that allows for up to 62,000 emails per month for the first 12 months, which can be a great way to get started with the service without incurring significant costs.
