- **Authentication standards:** SPF, DKIM and DMARC are supported, along with S/MIME and BIMI, and traffic is encrypted with TLS.
- **Analytics and logs:** A dashboard shows message statuses in real time, with log retention from 1 day on the free tier to 15 days on PRO 100.
- **Address validation:** Every plan checks addresses against an internal list of non-existent ones.
- **Support packages:** Paid Safety and Support packages run from Basic at no extra cost to Advanced at €150, Professional at €350 and Enterprise at €1,800 a month.

- A dedicated IP comes only with PRO 100 and above.
- The Startup tier is capped at 300 emails a day and 1 day of log retention.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace EmailLabs 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. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 26 of the 50 other email sending services grade higher. It costs $388.79 a year.

- You could not: Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- You could not: Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
- You could not: Reading the reports inbox providers send about your domain.
- You could not: An API that other software can build on.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
