Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) | Pricing and Billing Flashcards
What should I do after I’m finished testing and evaluating Amazon SES?
Pricing and Billing
Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) | Customer Engagement
Once you are ready to use Amazon SES to send email, you can request an Amazon SES sending limit increase. If granted, this increase will move your account out of the sandbox environment so that you can begin sending email to your customers. You will no longer need to verify recipient email addresses or recipient domains, and you will be able to send much larger quantities of email.
To request a sending limit increase, please complete the request form in Support Center. We generally respond to these requests within 24 hours.
How much does it cost to use Amazon SES?
Pricing and Billing

With Amazon SES, you pay only for what you use. There are no minimum fees, and no upfront costs. The fees for using Amazon SES are very low. The amount you will pay depends on the number of messages you send and receive, the volume of attachments you send, and the price you pay for transferring data out of other AWS products, such as EC2, if applicable.
Please refer to Amazon SES Pricing for more information on pricing, data transfer costs, and free usage.
