Choose Postject when you want to focus on building your product, not managing email infrastructure. SES is cheap per-email but requires significant AWS setup, monitoring configuration, and bounce handling that Postject includes out of the box.
SES has lower per-email costs at very high volumes, but the total cost includes AWS infrastructure, CloudWatch monitoring, SNS for bounces, and development time for integration. For most teams, Postject's all-inclusive pricing is more cost-effective.
Yes. Postject supports migration from SES. You'll switch from the AWS SDK to Postject's simpler REST API, transfer domain verification, and configure webhooks to replace your SNS setup.
