# Compare Wraps to Email Platforms — Resend, SendGrid, SES & More Source: https://wraps.dev/compare ![Wraps Logo](https://wraps.dev/wraps-light-logo.png)![Wraps Logo](https://wraps.dev/wraps-dark-logo.png) ](https://wraps.dev/) [](https://github.com/wraps-team/wraps)[Log in](https://app.wraps.dev/auth?mode=signin)[Sign up](https://app.wraps.dev/auth?mode=signup) Toggle menu Comparisons Real pricing at real volumes, and the rows where the other platform wins are in here too. Read the ones that describe you. These are head-to-heads: Wraps against one platform at a time. If you are still surveying the field, [the ranked alternatives lists](https://wraps.dev/alternatives) cover every real option, ours placed where it honestly belongs. And if the question is which _kind_ of thing to use rather than which vendor — run SES yourself, rent a sending API, rent a marketing platform, or put an open-source wrapper over your own SES — [the four approaches](https://wraps.dev/approaches) is the rubric. Wraps is one of the wrappers, and that page compares it against the others. [ ## Resend vs Wraps Their AWS account, or yours Resend sends from their AWS account. Wraps deploys to yours. Compare data retention (Resend purges after 30 days; with Wraps the raw events land in your own DynamoDB and stay there), overage pricing ($0.90/1K vs $0.10/1K à la carte), and what happens when you cancel. ](https://wraps.dev/compare/resend-vs-wraps)[ ## Amazon SES vs Wraps Same SES, set up and run for you Wraps is SES underneath — same pricing, same deliverability, your account. The difference is that it is standing in two minutes instead of days, and that the daily job has somewhere to live: bounce and complaint rates against the lines AWS reviews and pauses at, suppression, deliverability audits, every message searchable. ](https://wraps.dev/compare/amazon-ses-vs-wraps)[ ## SendGrid vs Wraps Rent the sending, or own it SendGrid has the scale and the support desk, and sends from their infrastructure on shared IPs you do not control. Compare what changes when the account, the reputation and the sending data are yours — and what you take on when they are. ](https://wraps.dev/compare/sendgrid-vs-wraps)[ ## Customer.io vs Wraps Unlimited contacts, no surprise bills Customer.io charges per contact — $100/mo at 5K profiles, ~$1,000/mo at 100K. Wraps charges a flat platform fee with unlimited contacts. Compare the full cost at every volume. ](https://wraps.dev/compare/customer-io-vs-wraps)[ ## Postmark vs Wraps Beyond transactional sending Postmark is transactional-only with great deliverability. Wraps adds automations, broadcasts, segments, and templates — all sending through infrastructure you own in your AWS account. ](https://wraps.dev/compare/postmark-vs-wraps)[ ## Klaviyo vs Wraps Built for developers, not storefronts Klaviyo is excellent at ecommerce lifecycle marketing and a non-engineer can run it. If you are a developer-led team sending transactional and lifecycle email, compare the feature surface you actually use against what contact-based billing charges you for. ](https://wraps.dev/compare/klaviyo-vs-wraps)[ ## Mailgun vs Wraps Your account, your reputation Mailgun brings a long track record, EU regions and mature deliverability tooling. Compare pricing at real volumes against sending from an account you own, and what changes when the reputation being built is yours. ](https://wraps.dev/compare/mailgun-vs-wraps)[ ## Hand-rolled bounce handling vs Wraps 152 honest lines, and what they don't cover The real alternative to Wraps usually isn't a competitor — it's writing it yourself. We show the full 85-line SNS signature verification, confirm it's correct, and then make the case for what the code doesn't cover. ](https://wraps.dev/compare/ses-bounce-handling-hand-rolled-vs-wraps) ## Before the head-to-heads, decide what you are comparing on Seven things separate an email API you enjoy from one you tolerate, each with a test you can run in an afternoon. The scoring includes the item Wraps fails. [The developer-first email API checklist](https://wraps.dev/blog/developer-first-email-api-checklist)[Why providers cost more than sending through SES directly](https://wraps.dev/blog/why-email-providers-cost-more-than-ses)[The five pricing models, and what each does to your bill](https://wraps.dev/blog/email-pricing-models) ## What makes Wraps different We set it up One command deploys SES, DynamoDB, Lambda, EventBridge and scoped IAM roles into your AWS account. Namespaced, so nothing you already run gets touched. The control plane runs it Bounce and complaint rates drawn against the lines AWS reviews and pauses at, swept hourly. Suppression, deliverability and blacklist audits, every message searchable. It stays yours Stop paying and the infrastructure keeps running — it is in your account, and AWS bills you directly for the sending. Contacts and templates export on the way out. ## Ready to try it?
