Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for contact forms on sites with no backend
EmailJS sends email from browser and mobile code through an email service you connect, with templates built in its dashboard. The free plan stops at 200 requests a month and 2 templates, and requests past your limit are dropped rather than billed, so a busy month can lose mail.
Who EmailJS is for
- Fits if you need a contact form on a static site and have no server
- Works for small sites that send a few hundred emails a month
Who EmailJS is not for
- Skip it if you need EmailJS to deliver mail, because it only relays through a provider you connect
- Tight if you stay on free, with 200 requests a month, 2 templates and 7 days of history
- Watch out: past your monthly limit, requests are dropped with no overage option
- Watch out: the pricing page toggles monthly and yearly and does not say which one its prices use
- Pricey if you need more than 2,000 requests, since 25,000 is $40 a month
Why EmailJS gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyPaid starts at $9 a month for 2,000 requests, which is the edge of the cheaper quarter of email tools, though the page does not say if that is monthly or yearly billing.
- CFree plan and trial200 requests a month and 2 templates is a cap a busy contact form will reach, and history is kept 7 days.
- CFeaturesClient-side sending, templates, provider switching and SDKs. It does not deliver mail itself, and there are no overage charges: extra requests are dropped.
- CEase of useNo app rating on record. You connect an email service and wire an SDK or REST call into your code first.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb service with SDKs for JavaScript, React, Vue, Flutter and Node, and connections to Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid, Mailgun and SES.

Keep EmailJS, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace EmailJS 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 $108 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- It plugs into other products, Gmail, Outlook and SendGrid among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. EmailJS’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.
What is EmailJS?
EmailJS lets browser and mobile apps send email without a backend. You connect an email service such as Gmail, SendGrid or any SMTP server, build templates in the dashboard, and trigger them from code with an SDK or REST API. The vendor says it does not run its own delivery servers.
Worth knowing
- EmailJS does not deliver mail itself; you connect your own email service.
- There are no overage charges: requests past the monthly limit are dropped.
- The pricing page has a Monthly and Yearly toggle (yearly shown as 20% off) and does not state which basis the displayed prices use.
- Free-plan email history is kept for 7 days and the free plan has no domain whitelist.
Key features
- Client-side sending
- Code in a browser or app triggers predefined templates, so provider keys stay on EmailJS servers.
- Provider connections
- Connect Mailgun, AWS SES, Gmail, Outlook and others, or any SMTP server, and switch from the dashboard without code changes.
- Template editor
- Rich text or HTML editor with dynamic variables for one template that personalizes each email.
- SDKs
- Official SDKs for JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Vue, Svelte, Flutter and Node.js, plus a REST API.
- Abuse guardrails
- Origin whitelisting and IP-based rate limiting protect the monthly request quota.
