Buzzmark vs Amazon SES
SES wins on raw price. If that is the only input and you will build tracking, inbound, bounce handling, and webhooks yourself, stay on SES.
An EU region is not an EU company. Frankfurt SES is still AWS. Logs, account, and the legal parent sit with Amazon.
Buzzmark is the product around the send: API and SMTP, tracking, inbound, webhooks, managed IP warmup, a GDPR DPA, 300 free a month with no card. Spanish company. Stored and processed in Frankfurt.
The difference that matters
| Buzzmark | Amazon SES | |
|---|---|---|
| Company | Spain (Hola Money SL) | AWS |
| Where data lives | Stored and processed in the EU (Frankfurt) | You pick a region. The company is still AWS. |
| Free forever | 300/mo, full product, no card | AWS free tier. You build tracking, inbound, webhooks. |
| 5,000 / month | €6.50 | Cheapest raw send |
| 50,000 / month | €35 | Cheapest raw send |
| API + SMTP | Both | Both, more setup |
| Tracking, inbound, webhooks | Every plan | You build it |
| Dedicated IP | €20/mo | Extra, you run it |
When to pick whom
Pick SES if price is the only input and you will build the rest.
Pick Buzzmark if you want the mail to stay in the EU, a real product on day one (API, SMTP, tracking, inbound, webhooks), and a 10-minute start: 300 free, no card, every feature unlocked.
