Perhaps it’s gotten better, but sendy for large email lists and campaigns was pretty terrible a few years ago (some lists were > 1m records).

Not to mention the delivery rates of SES and overhead of setting up dedicated IPs (if you have that scale).

Sendy seemed fine for small workloads, so does SES. The software is decent for the price. But anyone serious about delivery or scale should look beyond Sendy or an SES based tool.

There are a whole host of players that are essentially sendy as a SaaS (moonmail, email octopus). From what I’ve heard these are alright. People considering Sendy may wish to look into them

I’ve built and used a few products/tools that are backed by sendgrid, SES, and mailgun. Overall, I am a fan of sendgrid but understand it’s not a direct replacement for tools like sendy.
