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.

In my opinion, this software works very well in newsletter campaigns. I regularly use this software for sending newsletters on various events in my organization and this software gives me satisfactory results. Sometimes when I used its API functionality, it didn't work well so I stopped it. I create my email templates in the Email Editor and send them to my contacts. That's the easiest process I follow.

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.
