email providers and costs

subscriber.dev doesn't send email itself. Connect a provider and pay them directly for what you send, with no markup from us. Resend, Postmark, Amazon SES and Cloudflare Email are built in, and any SMTP server works. Need your data in the EU? Scaleway is the closest thing to SES there.

Built-in providers pick up bounces and spam complaints and opt those people out automatically; over SMTP they aren't picked up. Cloudflare Email needs the $5 Workers Paid plan. Prices from each provider's pricing page, checked October 2026: Amazon SES, Scaleway, Cloudflare Email, Resend, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark.

Postmark is estimated from its overage rate; a larger plan may cost less. Cloudflare includes the $5 Workers Paid plan, and Scaleway's €10 is converted to dollars. Providers also charge for extras such as dedicated IPs.
