Send cold email through your own AWS SES so your reputation stays yours. EmailQo handles authentication, warmup, and pre-send checks on top.
AWS SES gives you sending infrastructure that you own. Your domain reputation is yours alone, no other sender can damage it, and Amazon bills you directly at roughly $0.10 per 1,000 emails with no markup from a third party.
The tradeoff is setup complexity. SES needs SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured correctly, bounce and complaint handling, and careful rate management. Most sales and marketing teams do not have the time or in-house DNS expertise to manage all of that themselves.
EmailQo connects directly to your AWS SES account. We generate DKIM keys and show you the exact DNS records to paste, then verify them automatically. Warmup is included on every plan and ramps your volume gradually over the first two weeks so SES can raise your quota without tripping spam filters.
Before every campaign, EmailQo runs pre-send checks across SPF, DKIM, DMARC, common blacklists, and enterprise spam filter simulation. Issues get flagged before the send, not after your open rates have already dropped. Replies are classified by AI as interested, not interested, or out of office, and follow-ups pause automatically when a contact responds.
Prefer to start without AWS? EmailQo also connects to Gmail, Outlook, and Zoho so you can warm up on a familiar inbox and graduate to SES when you are ready to scale.
