Volanea — Transactional Email & Campaigns on Amazon SES

# Volanea > The complete email platform — transactional email, campaigns, and automation on one contact graph. 1,000 free credits every month, then Starter at $5/mo or Growth at $20/mo. Volanea is a developer-first email platform: a single API and contact graph for transactional email, marketing campaigns, and automation. Domains with DKIM/SPF/DMARC, reusable templates, living segments, HMAC-signed webhooks, real inboxes that AI agents can send from and receive at, an MCP server, and a reputation guard that throttles sending before a domain gets burned. All mail is sent over Amazon SES. An SMTP relay is coming soon. The free tier includes 1,000 credits every month with no card; beyond that, Starter is $5/month for 7,500 emails and Growth is $20/month for 50,000. ## Product - [Home](https://www.volanea.com/): What Volanea is and why it exists. - [Pricing](https://www.volanea.com/pricing): Free 1,000 credits/month, Starter $5/mo (7,500 emails), Growth $20/mo (50,000 emails) — no contact limits. - [Free Email Verifier](https://www.volanea.com/tools/email-verifier): Check any address for syntax, live MX records, disposable domains, and role accounts — free, no signup. ## Documentation - [API Documentation](https://www.volanea.com/docs): REST API reference — authentication, sending, errors and pagination, inboxes, and signed webhook verification. - [MCP server](https://www.volanea.com/docs#mcp): Volanea exposes a Model Context Protocol server at POST /mcp, so an AI coding agent can integrate Volanea into an app end to end — create the templates, segments, and workflows, write the sending and webhook code, and verify delivery. Authentication is a project API key as a bearer token; there is no separate MCP token. ## Comparisons - [Volanea vs Resend](https://www.volanea.com/compare/resend): An honest comparison of Volanea and Resend: free tiers, what 50,000 emails costs ($20 either way), marketing features, and when each is the right choice. - [Volanea vs Plu
