Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 10 of the 26 other email sending services we grade
Emailit sends transactional email through a REST API or SMTP relay and also covers inbound email, campaigns, audiences, automations and email verification on the same platform. Usage is counted in credits, with a free monthly pool, pay-as-you-go top-ups and two subscription plans. The pricing page lists EU hosting and says the company runs its own data center in Prague.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Emailit, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for developers who want pay-as-you-go sending
Emailit is an email API and SMTP relay that sells credits instead of seats. Free gives 3,000 credits a month, but only 100 emails a day. Pro is $20 a month for 100,000 credits on yearly billing, or you can buy credits at $2 per 10,000 with no subscription.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $20 a month on yearly billing ($25 monthly) for 100,000 credits is at the top of what email sending tools charge. Pay as you go is $2 per 10,000 credits, from a $20 top-up. |
| Free plan and trial | B | A free plan with 3,000 credits a month, 100 emails a day and 3 domains, including API, SMTP, campaigns and automations. The first credit purchase lifts the daily cap to 5,000. |
| Features | C | Email API and SMTP, logs, webhooks, campaigns, audiences and deliverability tools. The plan table marks some features as Soon or Planned, so they are not available yet. |
| Ease of use | C | A web dashboard, API and SMTP with no rating on record. You verify domains and connect your code. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with an API and listed Laravel, Node.js, PHP, Go, Python, ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor connections. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Emailit is for
- Fits if you want to pay for what you send, with credits that never expire
- Works for developers who want a free plan with API and SMTP
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 100 emails a day, 3 domains and 7-day logs until a first credit purchase
- Watch out: campaign emails cost 2 credits and verification 5, so mixed sending uses credits faster
- Pricey if you want a dedicated IP: it is $30 a month per IP, with a minimum of 1,000 emails a day
- Watch out: some listed features are marked Soon or Planned
- Skip it if you want phone or desktop apps, as it is web only
Good to know
Good for
- Developers who want one bill for transactional and marketing email
- Teams that need EU-hosted sending
- Low-volume senders who prefer prepaid credits that do not expire
Worth knowing
- The free plan is limited to 100 emails a day, 3 sending domains and 7-day logs until a first credit purchase.
- Campaign emails cost 2 credits each and verification 5, so mixed sending uses the pool faster than the headline credit count suggests.
- A dedicated IP is an add-on at $30 a month per IP, with a minimum of 1,000 emails a day.
- Some features on the plan table are marked Soon or Planned and are not available yet.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Emailit you would be making mail servers with a good name among inbox providers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Reading the reports inbox providers send about your domain.
- Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
- It plugs into other products, Laravel, Node.js and PHP among them, and has an API.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Emailit’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
