Why Use Maileroo?

Why Teams Love Maileroo

AWS SES gives you the sending engine. Maileroo gives you a simpler way to manage the full email delivery process. Set up faster, track what happens after each send, and use built-in tools to monitor deliverability and spot issues before they become harder to fix.

Dedicated IPs at No Extra Cost

SES bills you monthly per dedicated IP, on top of your sending. Ours are included from 250k emails a month up, so scaling your reputation doesn't come with a separate line item.

Analytics Without the Plumbing

No SNS topics, no Kinesis stream, no CloudWatch dashboard to build. Opens, clicks, bounces, and suppressions per message, live, the moment you start sending.

Scoped Credentials

A separate SMTP or API key per app and per environment, without writing an IAM policy. A leaked staging key can't touch production, and revoking one doesn't stop everything else.

Inbound Routing

Point an MX record at us and receive email as well as send it. No S3 bucket and Lambda function in between.

Answers, Not Tickets

Ask about warmup, authentication, or a drop in placement and get an engineer who runs the platform. Included on every plan, not a separate support tier.

Why Make the Switch

See What Amazon SES
Won't Show You by Default

SES gives you an API to send with. Maileroo gives you everything teams normally build around it. Live reporting, per message tracking, suppression handling, and a dashboard worth opening, all from your first send.

Recover From AWS Console Trauma

You needed four AWS services to send one receipt. Maileroo does it with one dashboard: send over SMTP or the API, watch every message live, wire up webhooks, and manage suppressions in the same place. No IAM policy, no region picker.

SES stops at the send. Maileroo carries the whole delivery path: per message tracking, opens, clicks, bounces and deferrals in real time, reliable webhook delivery with retries, and automatic suppression handling. It works from your first email with nothing to assemble.

And when something does break, you get an engineer who runs the platform rather than a case number and a severity dropdown. Warmup, authentication, sudden placement drops, real answers on the things that actually matter.

Try the Dashboard

Real Support When You Need It

Ask about SPF that won't verify, a warmup plan, or why Gmail started foldering you last Tuesday. You get an engineer who runs the platform, not a case number and a severity dropdown.

Joey handles the quick stuff instantly, DNS setup, failed sends, what a bounce code means. Anything harder goes straight to a human.

Same support on every plan, including the free one.

Feature Comparison

Amazon SES vs Maileroo

SES charges per email and per dedicated IP, then leaves you to wire up SNS, CloudWatch, and IAM yourself. Maileroo bundles sending, tracking, suppressions, webhooks, and support into one plan. Here is how they stack up.

"I love it as an SMTP service for transactional emails. The app is fast, easy to understand and fully featured, but not overwhelming, and email delivery is super fast and reliable. Just perfect! Every time I needed to request a feature or inquire about something with the team, they responded quickly and satisfactorily, both in their Discord channel and via email."

"I have been a Maileroo customer for almost 2 years now and I am very satisfied: Sending emails is super fast and reliable. The support is great and fast (usually within 1 hour). The interface is functional yet easy to use. You pay much less at Maileroo than at other providers without compromising on quality. In short, a great company to work with as an agency!"

"Using Maileroo for half a year now. Api and its documentation is simple, straightforward and just works. What truly makes the difference is the fast, personal support. Support is always quick to respond and to find a solution. Requests or suggestions are taken seriously and often translated into practical improvements. That level of personal involvement and service is rare and makes Maileroo a solution I can confidently recommend. Experience with mailgun, mailjet, sendgrid, resend and Maileroo takes the cake."
