À la carte: $0.10 per 1k outbound. All modes add attachment data at $0.12/GB (GB = emails × KB ÷ 1,000,000). Inbound $0.10/1k + $0.09 per 1k incoming 256KB chunks. Dedicated IP (standard) $24.95/IP/mo; managed dedicated IPs $15/mo + $0.08 (0–10M), $0.04 (10–50M), $0.02 (50–100M) per 1k. VDM $0.07 / $0.05 / $0.02 per 1k; Global Endpoints +$0.03/1k; validation $0.01 each (API), Auto Validation $0.01/1k. Official examples: Essentials 250k × 32KB → $40 + $0.96 = $40.96; Pro 2M × 32KB → $440 + $7.68 + $105 = $552.68; à la carte 2M × 32KB → $200 + $7.68 = $207.68.
