Epic Showdown: Maileroo vs Amazon SES

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. Use built-in tools to monitor deliverability and spot issues before they become harder to fix. Better visibility. Easier management. Less time stuck in AWS.

Free Email Verification

You can ensure that your emails get in the inbox and wave goodbye to bounced ones with our free Email Verification API.

Dedicated IPs

We also provide free dedicated IPs to ensure that your emails remain isolated from other users, which helps to improve deliverability.

DNS Records

Check the sender's validity to protect your reputation. Set up DKIM, DMARC, and SPF to improve deliverability.

Email Delivery Tracking

Obtain thorough, up-to-date reports on sent and received emails. Enhance the user experience with informative data.

Suppression Handling

Keep hard-bounced or suppressed addresses from being sent to again. Cleaner lists. Fewer repeat mistakes.

Email API and SMTP

Use SMTP for a quick, familiar setup. Choose Maileroo’s Email API when you want more direct control from your app.

More Visibility Without
the AWS Add-ons

With Amazon Web Services' SES, sending is only part of the job. To get clearer reporting, delivery tracking, suppression handling, and email activity insights, teams often need to connect extra AWS services or build their own workflow around it.

Maileroo includes those tools in one easier platform. Track sends. Manage bounces. Set up authentication. See delivery performance without turning reporting into another project.

No upselling. No extra steps. No hidden fees.
