Sounds expensive. Amazon SES has 1k emails/month included for free (if you use an API to send). When sending via SMTP that quota does not apply, but still 1k Emails just costs 0.1$ (yes, 10 cents). I do not use any other AWS services but SES for my emails because of the pricing, I host everything else on Hetzner.

Yes but AWS SES emails don't get delivered to inboxes

That doesn't seem like even close to the truth, else Amazon SES would have no business. I use it myself in my Webapp to deliver signup verification and haven't gotten a single complaint so far.
