  "summary": "Amazon SES has restructured its billing into three tiered plans—Essentials, Pro, and Enterprise—as of July 2026. The most significant change is the shift from legacy à la carte pricing to a tiered system. To determine which plan you are on, use the AWS CLI command `aws sesv2 get-account --region <region> --query PricingAttributes`. Based on the region, the plan status will be returned as NONE, ESSENTIALS, PRO, or ENTERPRISE. Each plan has a base fee per 1,000 emails, with the Enterprise plan offering the most extensive features, including multi-region failover and an annual deliverability assessment. The Essentials plan provides basic monitoring and deliverability insights, while Pro adds managed dedicated IPs and additional deliverability tools. To decide if the dedicated IP is worth it, calculate the costs for your expected email volume using the provided pricing table.",
