Black Friday: is there a SendFox sale?
SendFox report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for small creators on a budget, even one-time
SendFox is a simple email tool with a free plan for 1,000 contacts, a Pro plan at $19 a month and a one-time Lifetime deal at $29 through AppSumo. Free and Lifetime both keep SendFox branding on your emails. Pro is the only plan that removes it.
Who SendFox is for
- Fits if you are a small creator who wants one payment instead of a subscription
- Works for lists under 5,000 contacts, where the Lifetime plan applies
Who SendFox is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 3,000 sends a month, 1 automation, 1 form and a SendFox badge
- Watch out: Lifetime comes through AppSumo with 300,000 sends in total, and a footer stays
- Pricey if your list grows: Pro is $79 a month at 50,000 contacts and $399 at 250,000
- Skip it if you want branding gone without paying: only Pro removes it
- Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, as it is web only
Why SendFox gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyThe $29 one-time Lifetime deal for 5,000 contacts and 300,000 sends is under a year of this category's $15 middle price. Pro is $19 a month at 5,000 contacts, rising to $79 at 50,000.
- BFree plan and trialA free plan for 1,000 contacts and 3,000 sends a month, with 1 automation, 1 form and 1 smart page, no card needed. SendFox branding stays on emails.
- BFeaturesDrag-and-drop editor, smart pages and forms, automations, paid newsletters through Stripe, an AI writer and a transactional email API. The limits are on the free plan, not the core job.
- CEase of useA web app with no rating on record. You build lists, forms and automations yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Stripe and Resend, and an API with MCP access.

Keep SendFox, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SendFox you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 55 of the 57 other email marketing and newsletter tools we grade. It costs $228 a year.
What you could make
- Paid newsletters: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. SendFox’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 SendFox?

Besides monthly Pro plans it sells a one-time Lifetime deal through AppSumo.
Worth knowing

- Free allows 1 automation, 1 smart page and 1 form; unlimited automations need Lifetime or Pro.
- Lifetime covers 5,000 contacts and 300,000 sends in total, and is bought through AppSumo.
- Pro steps billed monthly: $39 at 15,000 contacts, $79 at 50,000, $149 at 100,000, $399 at 250,000; above that is sold through sales.
Key features

- AI email writer and MCP access
- Pro and Lifetime include an AI email writer and MCP access. The Free plan gets 2 AI drafts and limited API and MCP access.
