What Sendy should
have grown into.
Sendy taught us all that AWS SES is the cheapest way to send. But self-hosted PHP, cron jobs, and broken bounce handling at 3 AM are not. SES Mailbox keeps the AWS economics and ditches the operations.
A $59 license isn't free if you spend 4 hours a month fixing it.
Native bounce handling
Sendy's bounce processing relies on cron jobs that silently die. We use AWS SNS — bounces fire as webhooks in milliseconds.
Drag-and-drop builder
Sendy = paste raw HTML. SES Mailbox = visual editor, 40+ templates, dark-mode preview, every client tested.
Dynamic segments
Sendy lists are static. Ours rebuild on every event — "opened 3+ emails in 30 days, tagged VIP" without lifting a finger.
Visual automations
Welcome series, abandoned cart, win-back. Sendy needs Zapier hacks. We have a native visual flow editor.
Zero ops
No VPS to keep alive, no PHP updates, no MySQL backups, no scaling worries. SOC 2-grade infra, included.
The "free" Sendy isn't free.
