The hosted Sendy alternative

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.

The five things Sendy can't do

A $59 license isn't free if you spend 4 hours a month fixing it.

01

Native bounce handling

Sendy's bounce processing relies on cron jobs that silently die. We use AWS SNS — bounces fire as webhooks in milliseconds.

02

Drag-and-drop builder

Sendy = paste raw HTML. SES Mailbox = visual editor, 40+ templates, dark-mode preview, every client tested.

03

Dynamic segments

Sendy lists are static. Ours rebuild on every event — "opened 3+ emails in 30 days, tagged VIP" without lifting a finger.

04

Visual automations

Welcome series, abandoned cart, win-back. Sendy needs Zapier hacks. We have a native visual flow editor.

05

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.

Total cost of ownership at 50,000 subscribers, sending 4 campaigns a month.
