Email marketing without
the per-contact tax.
Sendra is a modern email marketing platform for small teams with growing audiences. Build campaigns, manage contacts, create signup forms, and automate customer journeys — all with flat software pricing. Instead of charging more every time your list grows, Sendra sends through Amazon SES, Amazon’s email sending service. You pay Sendra for the app. You pay Amazon for delivery — keeping sending costs close to pennies per thousand emails.
Your audience grows.
Your bill should not.
Most email platforms charge by the size of your contact list. The more subscribers you collect, the more you pay — even if you only email them a few times a month. Sendra works differently.
You pay one flat $20/month for the software. Email delivery runs through Amazon SES at usage-based rates, usually about $1 per 10,000 emails. At 50,000 contacts sending four emails per month, Sendra is still only about $40/month total: $20 for Sendra, plus about $20 for Amazon delivery.
Drag, drop,
slash, send.
A block-based editor that feels like a modern doc tool and renders like production email. Compose visually, personalize with variables, switch to HTML when you need control, and review every campaign before it sends.

HTML when you need it
Edit the source directly when precision matters. Sendra renders through MJML so campaigns work across Gmail, Outlook, and dark mode clients.
Workflows that grow up with you.
Start simple with welcome emails, trial nudges, product updates, and scheduled newsletters. Then add branches, delays, conditions, and customer events as your lifecycle gets more sophisticated.
Sendra is the app.
Amazon SES is the delivery engine.
Traditional email platforms bundle two things together: the software you use to create campaigns, and the infrastructure that actually sends them. Sendra separates the two. Sendra is the app — editor, contacts, forms, automations, analytics. Amazon SES is the delivery engine: Amazon’s email sending service, connected to your AWS account in the background. You don’t need to know AWS — we guide you through setup in plain English, and Amazon charges roughly $1 per 10,000 emails.
- Build campaigns
- Manage contacts
- See who opened what
- Actually sends the emails
- Sending account is in your name
- Billed by Amazon directly
Pay postage, not markup.
You are not paying Sendra to resell email delivery back to you. Sendra charges for the product. Amazon charges for the actual sending.
Own your sending setup.
Your sending account, verified domain, and email reputation live with you. If you ever leave Sendra, you can export your contacts and keep your infrastructure.
Flat software pricing.
Sendra does not get more expensive because your audience grew. Your Amazon bill only changes based on how much email you actually send.
No AWS experience required. Sendra walks you through the connection step by step. If your Amazon sending account needs approval before you can send at scale, we help you prepare the request and avoid the common mistakes. Want help? We can set it up with you for $49.

Segments for the moment.
Use lists for durable groups like newsletter subscribers, customers, trial users, product updates, and transactional contacts. Use segments for the slices you need this week: opened in the last 7 days, plan = Pro, clicked a launch email, trial started, and more.
list = "Product Updates" AND last_open > "7d ago"Forms with consent built in
Hosted pages, embeds, and iframes with single or double opt-in, custom consent copy, and an audit trail for every submission.
As many lists as you need
One contact can belong to multiple lists. One form can add subscribers to several lists at once.
An API behind everything
Every button in the app is wired to a clean REST endpoint. Push contacts, fire events, trigger automations, pull engagement stats — all from your own code.
See what's working as it happens.
Track sends, opens, clicks, bounces, complaints, and unsubscribes across every campaign. Zoom into the live activity feed to see how contacts are engaging in real time, and drill into contact-level history to understand what each subscriber received, opened, clicked, and ignored.
Things people ask before they switch.
Better email

Free up to 1,000 contacts. Upgrade when your list grows. Keep the editor, automations, forms, analytics, and Amazon SES delivery — without paying more for every contact.
