Cloudflare launched a transactional email API service priced higher than AWS SES, suggesting the cost reflects investment in email reputation management rather than infrastructure. The service includes developer tools and AI agent integrations but fundamentally competes on deliverability reliability. The article argues Cloudflare's main challenge is avoiding the reputation issues that plague large email providers.
Background
Cloudflare is expanding its cloud services portfolio beyond CDN and security into email delivery, competing directly with established players like AWS SES. Email deliverability heavily depends on maintaining sender reputation with major providers.
