Postmark vs Wraps

Postmark is a focused transactional email service with excellent deliverability. Wraps deploys email infrastructure to your AWS account with a full communication platform on top.

Both platforms send email reliably. The difference is where the infrastructure lives, what you pay for it, and what you can do beyond transactional sends.

The Architectural Difference

Postmark is a fully managed SaaS. Your emails send from Postmark's shared IP pools, your data lives on Postmark's servers, and your sending reputation is tied to their infrastructure. This is convenient — until it isn't.

Wraps is the control plane. AWS SES is the data plane. You own the infrastructure, the data, and the sending reputation. Wraps provides the developer tools, dashboard, workflows, and analytics on top.

Postmark charges $1.20–$1.80 per 1,000 emails depending on plan and volume. AWS SES charges $0.10 per 1,000. Here's what that means at real send volumes.

Postmark pricing uses their Pro tier (most popular). Wraps pricing includes the platform fee plus AWS SES at $0.10/1K emails. You pay AWS directly — Wraps never touches your email spend. Calculate your exact AWS cost

Switching from Postmark

Postmark has no contractual lock-in — you can leave anytime. The real migration work is operational: DNS records, API calls, templates, and suppression lists.

import { ServerClient } from "postmark";const client = new ServerClient(  process.env.POSTMARK_TOKEN);await client.sendEmail({  From: "you@example.com",  To: "user@example.com",  Subject: "Hello",  HtmlBody: "<p>Hi</p>",});

import { Wraps } from "@wraps.dev/email";const wraps = new Wraps();await wraps.emails.send({  from: "you@example.com",  to: "user@example.com",  subject: "Hello",  html: "<p>Hi</p>",});

The key difference: with Wraps, this is the last migration you'll ever do. Your email infrastructure lives in your AWS account. If you stop using Wraps, everything keeps running. No DNS changes, no IP warmup, no data migration.
