What is Volanea?

Volanea is a developer-first email platform that combines transactional email, marketing campaigns, and automations into a single contact graph. Built for developers and technical teams, the service sends mail over Amazon SES and offers tools including reusable templates, living segments, HMAC-signed webhooks, domain verification, and an MCP server that allows coding agents to set up and test integrations automatically. Contacts are stored without limits, and pricing is based strictly on email volume rather than contact counts. The platform includes a free tier offering 1,000 credits per month, a Starter plan priced at $5 per month for 7,500 emails, and a Growth plan at $20 per month for 50,000 emails. In addition to the main application, Volanea provides free utilities such as a DMARC and domain checker and an email verifier.

Through a bot’s eyes

What it can read, and what stays hidden →

What a bot can read

A language model reading this input learns that Volanea is an email delivery platform providing transactional APIs, marketing campaigns, and workflow automations built on top of Amazon SES. The homepage text details features such as domain verification, bounce and complaint handling, REST endpoints, webhooks, and an MCP server compatible with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. Pricing tiers and allowances are explicitly laid out, including the free tier, Starter, and Growth plans. The provided llms.txt file adds a comprehensive index of documentation links, API references, comparison pages against competitors like Resend, SendGrid, and Mailgun, and migration guides. The JSON-LD schema confirms organizational details and software application metadata with structured pricing offers, while the homepage Markdown content supplies detailed code snippets, user interface walkthroughs, and setup instructions.

Coverage and interpretation

Crawler coverage includes the registered identities and up to 50 user-agent entries from robots.txt. Source excerpts and detail groups are bounded; omissions are labelled.
Observed access describes GoodForBotsBot only. Other crawler entries describe declared rules, not tests of those operators' access.
Coverage is the sampled homepage response and collected robots.txt files. No indexing or citation is guaranteed. Usage preferences are declarations, not a legal determination of permission.
This explanation adds no points or penalties. Any score effects belong to the linked checks.
AIPREF and Content Signals keep their own definitions. AIPREF search can include processing used exclusively for search; training preferences are not a blanket ruling on every search process.
