Amazon SES alternative

no code, no plumbing, and the rest of the stack Amazon SES leaves to you.

Amazon SES is the cheapest email sending in the market ($0.10 per 1,000 emails), powering billions of sends for Netflix, Reddit, and Duolingo. But it's infrastructure, not a product: no visual builder and no campaign management. You write code and SES delivers; everything else you build yourself. TinyCommand is the product layer for broadcasts: design in TinyEmails, then TinyCampaigns (which sends through SES) broadcasts to a TinyTables table, with TinyForms, TinyWorkflows, and TinyAgents in the same product. It has no sending API for your own app.

Where it fits

Email is the last step of most flows. Make sure it has the data the first step captured.

Design it in TinyEmails and TinyCampaigns sends it to the same tables your forms write to. The agent that scored the lead wrote to that row, so the context is already there to merge in.

Real flows

What you can actually build.

Newsletter to everyone who opted in

Your signup form writes each subscriber and their consent choice to a table. The campaign sends only to rows marked opted-in.

TinyFormsTinyTablesTinyEmailsTinyCampaigns

Announcement with a line per customer

An AI column writes one sentence per row from what the table already holds. The template merges it in, so each recipient gets their own line.

Clean the list before a big send

Fill in missing emails and verify the risky ones first. Hard bounces and complaints that still happen suppress themselves.

Win-back list built by a workflow

A scheduled workflow copies lapsed customers into their own table. Point a campaign at that table and send when you are ready.

Switching from Amazon SES

We’ll migrate your setup for you.

Email us your Amazon SES account and our team rebuilds your setup in TinyCommand, carries over your contacts and email designs, and helps you wire up the workflows. Multi-step drip flows don’t carry over: TinyCampaigns sends broadcasts, and single triggered emails are rebuilt as workflows. Live within a week.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you switch.

How is TinyCampaigns different?

+

TinyCampaigns sends to a TinyTables table, so there is no CSV to export and re-upload: pick the table, the email column and, if you want, the column that records consent. You design the email in TinyEmails, where AI can draft the whole template and any column can be merged in. The audience is fixed when you confirm the send. It's bundled with the database, forms, workflows and AI agents.

Deliverability?

+

Campaigns can send from your own DKIM-verified domain; without one they go out from TinyCommand's shared sender address. Hard bounces, complaints and unsubscribes suppress themselves and are checked again at send time, every email carries one-click unsubscribe, and a campaign pauses itself if bounces pass 5% or complaints pass 0.1% after fifty sends. For cold sales outreach at volume, specialized tools (Instantly, Smartlead) still have the edge.

Transactional + marketing on one bill?

+

Not as one sending product. TinyCampaigns is broadcast sending to a table; drip sequences aren't part of it today. A workflow can still send a single email the moment a trigger fires, through a Gmail, Outlook or SendGrid step. There's no transactional sending API today, so high-volume receipts and alerts aren't part of it.

Can I import my audiences?

+

Your audience is a TinyTables table. Bring your contacts into a table, name the email column and the column that records consent, and only rows that match are sent to.

What's in the free tier?

+

You can start free with no card. TinyCampaigns, TinyEmails, forms, tables and workflows are on every plan, including Free. Professional at $49/mo adds 50,000 credits and up to 10 seats.
