Compare Samva with the email APIs you already know.
Each page puts Samva next to one provider: what a month costs, what each one ships, and what moves when you switch. Every price links to the provider's own page.

Amazon SES is transport only, at $0.10 per 1,000 emails ($1 at 10k, $50 at 500k). Events, a dashboard, templates, and suppression are yours to build. See Samva vs Amazon SES.
One page per provider.
Amazon SES
The lowest transport price. Samva is the rest of the stack, already built.
AutoSend
Campaigns, automations, and SMTP, with no free plan. Samva has a free plan and a spend limit.
inbound.new
Built around receiving and threads. Samva adds versioned templates and campaigns.
Mailgun
Volume tiers with inbound through routes. Samva costs less at every volume in the table, and replies thread to the email they answer.
Postmark
A transactional-first service; inbound needs its Pro plan. Samva includes inbound on every plan, free included.
Resend
Similar developer API and the same 3,000-email free plan. Samva adds replies threaded to the email they answer, exact per-email overage, and campaigns priced on sends from the same API.
SendGrid
A long-running platform with a trial, not a free plan. Samva's free plan has no end date.
