PufferPost vs Amazon SES
SES power, without
the plumbing.
Amazon SES sends email cheaply, but it is a raw API. You build the templates, the dashboard, the tracking, the reputation handling and the retries. PufferPost gives you that delivery plus the whole product, done for you, from €5 a month.

SES is a part. PufferPost is the product.
With SES you are the one wiring up identities, configuration sets, warmup, suppression, bounce handling, templates and a dashboard. That is weeks of work and ongoing upkeep. PufferPost is all of that, already built, behind one API and one console.
A real dashboard, not the console
See every email and its timeline in plain language, search your logs, and watch delivery and bounces, without building your own monitoring on top of raw events.
Templates and automations included
Design data-rich templates and onboarding sequences without code, and change them yourself any time. With SES you would build all of this yourself.

PufferPost vs Amazon SES, answered.
How is PufferPost different from raw SES?
SES is a low-level sending API; you build the templates, dashboard, tracking, reputation handling and retries. PufferPost is reliable delivery plus all of that as a finished product, with nothing to assemble.
Do I still need an AWS account or the console?
No. Sign up, verify a sending domain with a few DNS records, and send. No AWS account, no IAM, no console to learn.
Is it more expensive than SES?
SES bills per email, but the real cost is the engineering time to build and run everything around it. PufferPost is a flat €5 a month for the complete product, trading a build project for a small, predictable bill.
Can I edit emails without a developer?
Yes. Design and change templates and automations in the dashboard yourself; they go live on the next send. A clean API and SDKs are there when you want to connect your app.
