The report card
Best for a European email API with a free starter tier
EmailLabs is a Polish transactional and marketing email service with an API and SMTP relay. The free tier stops at 9,000 emails a month and 300 a day, and a dedicated IP only comes with PRO 100 at €115 a month.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | €29 a month for up to 100,000 emails, with the first 3 months at €23. That sits between the category's middle and its dearer quarter. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Startup plan is free: 9,000 emails a month and 300 a day, with 1 day of logs. One small app could live on that. |
| Features | C | REST API, SMTP relay, templates, analytics, address validation and authentication. A dedicated IP, unlimited webhooks and advanced analytics sit on PRO. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up sending domains and authentication records. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web dashboard with an API and SMTP relay. No integrations list on its pages. |
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 EmailLabs is for
- Fits if you want EU-based email delivery and a free tier to start on
- Works for apps with steady volume around 100,000 emails a month
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay on free: 300 emails a day and 1 day of log history
- Pricey if you want a dedicated IP, which starts at €115 a month on PRO 100
- Watch out: the €23 and €69 prices last 3 months for new customers, then go to €29 and €115
- Watch out: prices are in euros and the page doesn't say whether VAT is included

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