MailerSend

the cheapest mid-field option at both anchor volumes, with retention that's honest about being tiered.

~$5.60/mo#cost-sensitive-senders-w

excellent value at both volumes and unusually clear about how retention scales — with figures we'd want you to re-check before you commit.

roughly $5.60 a month for ten thousand emails and around $25 for a hundred thousand makes mailersend the cheapest option here apart from amazon ses, and it comes with a normal dashboard rather than an aws console.

retention is tiered and stated: one day on free and hobby, seven on starter, thirty on professional plus a separate seven-day api log. that ladder is clearer than most rivals manage, though it does mean the cheap plan gives you a single day to notice a problem.
