# EmailJS review (2026): is the free plan enough? > Send email from client-side code through your own provider Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. 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. - **Category:** Email Sending Services - **Made by:** EmailJS - **Website:** https://www.emailjs.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you need EmailJS to deliver mail, because it only relays through a provider you connect. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 13, 2026, EmailJS has a free plan, and paid plans start at $9 per month for 2,000 requests (billing basis not confirmed). - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** 200 requests a month, 2 email templates, requests up to 50 KB, and 7 days of email history. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | 200 monthly requests, 2 email templates, 500 saved contacts and community support. | | Personal | $9 per month for up to 2,000 requests, monthly or yearly basis not shown | 6 templates, domain whitelist, unlimited contacts, attachments up to 500 KB and no EmailJS footer. | | Professional | $15 per month for up to 5,000 requests, monthly or yearly basis not shown | Unlimited templates, 3 seats, suppressions list, attachments up to 2 MB and priority support.

Prices change, so confirm with EmailJS before buying. ## Ways to pay less - **20% off with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page toggle labels yearly billing as 20% off. Source: https://www.emailjs.com/pricing/ ## 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. ## Good for - Front-end developers who need contact forms without a server - Small sites with low monthly volume - Teams that want to swap email providers without changing code ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: B.** Paid 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 200 requests a month and 2 templates is a cap a busy contact form will reach, and history is kept 7 days. - **Features: C.** Client-side sending, templates, provider switching and SDKs. It does not deliver mail itself, and there are no overage charges: extra requests are dropped. - **Ease of use: C.** No app rating on record. You connect an email service and wire an SDK or REST call into your code first. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web service with SDKs for JavaScript, React, Vue, Flutter and Node, and connections to Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid, Mailgun and SES.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $108 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Gmail, Outlook and SendGrid among them, and has an API.
