What BYOS means
Your sending provider
AWS SES · Resend
You pay Amazon or Resend directly — cheap email marketing at scale, pay per email not per contact.
Artmail's platform
Email marketing, automations, segmentation, AI builder, analytics.
Email marketing at infra pricing
~$69/mo vs ~$350
At 100K emails — BYOS email marketing vs bundled ESPs.
Most platforms bundle sending into their pricing and mark it up. BYOS decouples the tool from the pipe — you choose who delivers your email. That's email marketing pricing you control.
The math at every scale
| Monthly emails | Klaviyo | Mailchimp | Artmail + SES | Artmail + Resend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | ~$45 | ~$30 | $9 + ~$1Save ~78% | $9 + ~$1Save ~78% |
| 50,000 | ~$175 | ~$75 | $20 + ~$5Save ~86% | $20 + ~$5Save ~86% |

| 200,000 | ~$700 | ~$270 | $59 + ~$20Save ~89% | $59 + ~$20Save ~89% |
| 500,000 | ~$1,500 | ~$450 | $129 + ~$50Save ~88% | $129 + ~$50Save ~88% |
Competitor pricing from public 2025–2026 rate cards. AWS SES at $0.10/1K emails. Artmail plan prices: Free $0, Starter $9, Growth $20, Pro $59, Scale $129.
At 100,000 emails/month, BYOS saves you $280/month vs Klaviyo. That's $3,360/year — reinvested into product, ads, or hiring. Same automations. Same AI builder. Same analytics.

Who BYOS is for
The Growing Shopify Store
“We hit 15,000 contacts on Klaviyo and the bill jumped to $350/month. Switched to Artmail + SES — same abandoned cart flows, same revenue tracking — for $69/month total.”
The Technical Founder
“We already had an AWS account for our SaaS. Adding SES took 10 minutes. Now our marketing emails send through the same infra as our transactional ones — and Artmail handles the pretty part.”
The High-Volume Sender
“At 500K emails/month, every dollar per thousand matters. BYOS at $0.10/1K vs. our old ESP at $1.50/1K — the savings paid for a junior marketer.”
But do I lose any features on BYOS?
No. Zero. Campaigns, automations, the visual workflow builder, AI email generation, Figma import, segmentation, A/B testing, revenue attribution, transactional API, deliverability monitoring, Shopify integration — every single feature works identically. BYOS only changes who delivers the email. Not what you can build, target, or measure.
