Why Make the SwitchSee 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
When you think of sending platforms, AWS SES is one of the few platforms that absolutely comes to mind for its unique pay-as-you-go model but that is as far as it goes for a complete email delivery system without having to configure many other instances, policies and such to get the data and environment you need for your system.
This is where Maileroo differentiates as we provide you the complete solution for sending, setting security and routing policies, connecting up as many domains as you like with advanced analytics and email logs viewable for up to 14 days. We don’t just send emails, we provide you with the full package under one roof, so you never have to question your sending environments capabilities.
Whilst we don’t offer a pay-as-you-go model, we provide affordable monthly subscriptions with generous tiers that enable you to send and receive emails reliably. We don’t charge you overage fees but instead give you a 12% buffer on top of your monthly email limit should you see a spike in your sending for free to ensure you achieve no downtime in your emailing.
Real Support When
You Need It
Maileroo goes above and beyond for our users, with the founders being right there in the thick of support tickets, helping with migration and building features that you ask for. Your first line of support are technical people which is offered across live-chat and email. Even when we are offline, we have a AI chatbot called Joey who is deeply integrated in our documentation and technical guides who can help you answer questions and even provide you code for your system.
AWS SES for a long time have been a massive provider in the industry and understandably with the whole eco-system they provide in the background that people can utilize and connect to. Maileroo is a growing privately owned company by Areeb Majeed and Patrick Yammouni, who have spent years building this platform up with a redundancy model at its core, 99.90% uptime SLA and a modular platform that enables us to cater to enterprise customers who require data residency in their own region.
It is becoming more paramount for systems that are being shipped faster, that they have a sending partner that can easily be integrated into their production environments, providing them with support and resources they require alongside all the features they need to manage every aspect of their business, client and system under one roof.

FAQAWS SES vs Maileroo
Questions
Answers on pricing, logs, analytics, domains, support, and switching from AWS SES.
AWS SES is a sending service that sits inside the wider AWS ecosystem. To get logging, analytics, event tracking and security policies, you usually have to set up and connect other AWS services. Maileroo gives you all of it on one platform: sending, security and routing policies, multi-domain management, analytics and email logs, with nothing extra to configure.
Yes, especially for teams that want a complete email delivery platform without managing AWS infrastructure. Maileroo offers SMTP Relay and Email API, a 99.90% uptime SLA, built-in analytics and hands-on technical support. It suits fast-moving teams that want to plug email into production and get back to building.

ReviewsCustomer-Centric
by Design
We're a small team, which means when you write in, you're talking to someone who works on the product. Startups, agencies, and growing businesses stay with Maileroo because the support is real, the pricing is honest, and the infrastructure holds 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."
