If your goal is the least email infrastructure work, choose Notify.
Why Notify is usually the easier option
- No SMTP/SES setup to manage
- No deliverability tuning or email infrastructure maintenance
- Built for straightforward transactional notifications
- You typically just send through the API and let the platform handle the rest
When Amazon SES makes sense
Choose Amazon SES if you need:
- Lower cost at scale
- More control over sending
- Deep AWS integration
- Custom email infrastructure and policies
- You’re okay doing more setup and maintenance
Simple rule of thumb
- Least work / fastest path: Notify
- More control / cheaper at scale / more setup: Amazon SES
If you want, I can also compare them on setup effort, deliverability, pricing, and API complexity.
