AISend vs AWS SES
The Missing Developer Layer for AWS SES
AWS SES is cheap and reliable but bare-bones. AISend runs on SES and adds everything that's missing for application developers — a simple REST API, a dashboard, built-in webhooks, and one-click domain setup. SES-class reliability, without the AWS Console.
Why Developers Switch from AWS SES
- No web dashboard — management through AWS Console only
- No REST API designed for application use — AWS SDK only
- No built-in webhook system — requires SNS + Lambda wiring
- Complex IAM setup and configuration
- Bounce/complaint handling is your problem to build
