Am I getting Amazon SES Free-Tier Pricing when sending emails from Heroku?

Question

According to Amazon SES Pricing: Pricing Information: AWS Free Tier ,

If you call Amazon SES from an instance of Amazon EC2 or through Elastic Beanstalk, you can send up to 62,000 messages per month per month for free.

Is this also true if I call Amazon SES from my Heroku application, since it runs on an Amazon EC2 instance?

I sent this question by email [e-mail] , and in less than 10 minutes they answered:

Unfortunately not.

However, we have third-party add-ons that offer sending mail, most with free plans to start: https://elements.heroku.com/addons/categories/email-sms

SendGrid seems the most popular.
