About Bauns
The Missing Dashboard for Amazon SES
Bauns provides the analytics and monitoring layer that Amazon SES users need to maintain deliverability and prevent account suspension.
We built Bauns because we needed enterprise-level email delivery at scale without the enterprise-level price tag. Amazon SES delivers on price and reliability, but lacks the monitoring tools needed to protect your sender reputation.
Comprehensive Tracking
Search and monitor all your deliveries, bounces, complaints, and suppressions in one place.
Proactive Alerting
Receive notifications before you hit Amazon's bounce or complaint thresholds.
Actionable Insights
Weekly digestible reports on your email performance with easy CSV exports.
Account Protection
Safeguard your SES privileges with early detection of deliverability issues.
Why choose Amazon SES as your transactional email service?
There are many transactional email delivery services available, each with different feature sets and pricing models. Amazon SES stands out for its exceptional cost-effectiveness and reliability.
| SendGrid | SendInBlue | Mailchimp Transactional | Amazon SES | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Emails | 60,000 emails/month | 60,000 emails/month | 60,000 emails/month | 60,000 emails/month |
| Monthly Cost | $29.951 | $392 | $60 (+Plan)3 | $6.604 |
Cost Advantage: Amazon SES provides approximately 80% cost savings compared to its nearest competitor for transactional email delivery.
Amazon SES Feature Comparison
While Amazon SES offers significant cost advantages, it's important to understand how the core features compare to other providers.
| SendGrid | SendInBlue | Mailchimp Transactional | Amazon SES | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sending via API & SMTP | ||||
| DKIM & SPF | ||||
| Template Editor | ||||
| Analytics Dashboard | ||||
| Support |
This is where Bauns comes in. We provide the analytics dashboard that Amazon SES is missing, allowing you to maintain the cost benefits while gaining the monitoring capabilities of more expensive providers.
For most transactional email use cases, template editors are typically not essential as most organizations use templates generated within their application codebase. The critical gap in Amazon SES is the analytics and monitoring dashboard, which Bauns specifically addresses.
