I am curious to know what you guys use for your startup email solution.<p>I am currently considering moving to AWS, and possibly using their Amazon SES. However I see that there are other alternatives like mailgun.com or sendgrid.com<p>what would be the advantage of using 3rd party solution vs in house Amazon SES? I see that the pricing is pretty similar and I am leaning towards using SES, but I would like to hear opinions.<p>Thank you.
I'm using Mandrill for transactional email, and will most likely start using Mailjet for email campaigns.<p>I believe that Mandrill etc give a better deliverability compared to SES.
We were using campaignmonitor.com until we found out about sendy.co<p>Sendy uses SES to send the emails on our behalf - so far so good - we do a weekend update to about 1500 address (so far) and it's worked quite well.<p>Someday I'll script something to dumb the current user email list into sendy so I don't have to export it to csv and reimport it every weekend...
