Amazon Simple Email Service

AWS offers a Simple Email Service (SES) which competes with other email service providers.

Email messages are charged at _$0.10 per 1,000_ but importantly there is no minimum fee (i.e: pay-as-you-go) https://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/

By comparison, SendGrid price per email is _$0.24875 per 1000 (cheapest plan) but goes down to **$0.1995 per 1000_ if you pay them $19.95 per 100k** monthly regardless of how many you send
