Configuration Presets
Understanding Wraps email configuration presets — features, costs, and how to choose the right one.
Guide
Configuration Presets
Wraps uses feature-based presets to configure your email infrastructure. Each preset adds more AWS resources and capabilities.
Overview
When you run wraps email init, you choose a configuration preset that determines which AWS resources are deployed. Presets are designed to match your sending volume and feature needs, from a simple setup for side projects to a full-featured stack for high-volume senders.
All presets deploy to your AWS account. You own the infrastructure and pay AWS directly at transparent pricing.

Dedicated IPs require warming
If you send fewer than 100K emails per day, a shared IP is usually better for deliverability. Dedicated IPs need a gradual warm-up period to build reputation with email providers.
Cost by Volume
Estimated monthly costs including AWS email sending charges ($0.10 per 1,000 emails) and infrastructure costs.
| Monthly Volume | Starter | Production | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | $0.15 | $2.15 | $52 |
| 10,000 | $1.05 | $3.05 | $53 |
| 100,000 | $10.05 | $14 | $64 |
| 1,000,000 | $100 | $110 | $175 |
Costs are AWS charges only. Email sending is $0.10 per 1,000 emails. Infrastructure costs vary by preset and usage patterns.
Upgrading Between Presets
You can upgrade your preset at any time. Upgrades are non-destructive — new resources are added and existing ones stay in place.

When you upgrade, Wraps adds new AWS resources alongside your existing ones. Your current configuration, sending history, and domain verification are all preserved.
