Emailit

What Emailit is

Emailit is an email platform "for developers & marketers" from FunFirst, Inc. It sends transactional and marketing email through a REST API, through SMTP credentials or through its own Campaigns tool, and it is built around one pricing idea: there is no subscription, and you pay only for the emails you actually send, using email credits. Only some add-ons are billed as subscriptions. The footer puts the pitch in six words: "Sending emails fairly. No more overpaying."

Emailit sends from infrastructure it owns. Its comparison pages say it runs its own data center in Prague, Czechia, inside the EU, with no third-party sending stack, and they quote 99.9% uptime. The site itself is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Ukrainian and Russian.

Getting started

The home page sets out three steps: add a sending domain, send email with the API, SMTP or Campaigns, and let Emailit deliver within seconds. It promises setup in under 5 minutes with no credit card required. Every sending domain has to publish SPF and DKIM DNS records before it can send, a rule Emailit applies to every account for the sake of delivery. Guides walk through creating a sending domain, getting an API key, sending over SMTP, and sending from PHP and from Laravel, next to a Getting Started page, a quickstart and the API reference.

The API and SMTP

The REST API takes a JSON POST to api.emailit.com/v2/emails with a bearer API key. The home page shows the same send in Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java, .NET, Laravel and cURL, using Emailit's own client libraries such as @emailit/node for Node. One call can address several recipients, carry an HTML body, and turn open tracking (called loads) and click tracking on or off for that message. Beyond sending, the API manages sending domains, webhooks and events, so an application can set up and watch its account in code.

Software that already sends mail can use SMTP credentials instead of the API. The customer reviews on the home page show where that tends to happen. One customer set up Emailit on a WordPress site through FluentSMTP; another sends transactional mail from several sites built on WordPress, Joomla and OpenCart; a third has integrated it into projects built with vibe coding tools and on Supabase. A fourth calls it "my primary SMTP delivery tool for my websites."

Delivery and deliverability

Emailit publishes delivery times by mailbox provider: 1.56 seconds to Gmail, 2.03 to Outlook, 1.43 to Yahoo, 5.13 to Apple Mail on icloud.com, 2.13 to Proton and 1.32 to AOL, for an average delivery time of 1.67 seconds. Another section of the home page says every email reaches the recipient's inbox in 6 seconds on average.

The deliverability controls are practical rather than elaborate. An automatic suppression list stops sends to mailboxes that do not exist. Delivery process events show how emails are being sent, so a sender can monitor delivery rates and keep its reputation intact. The dashboard tracks sending activity with detailed analytics, webhooks pass events back to the application, and one reviewer singles out the email logs that record what has been sent. Other reviewers report no issues with speed or deliverability and describe delivery as immediate.

Campaigns and inbound email

Emailit is not only an API. Campaigns is one of the three ways to send, and the comparison pages describe it as optional marketing sending alongside transactional email, recommending Emailit to teams for whom "API/SMTP + campaigns are enough." One reviewer on the home page calls it "the perfect newsletter tool" and praises the support behind it; another describes the interface as sleek and uncluttered and says setup was done within 10 minutes. A third review calls the UI clean and modern, and another says configuring a domain took just a few minutes. On the receiving side, one of Emailit's comparison pages confirms that it supports inbound email, so replies and incoming messages can come back into the same platform.

Pricing

The home page headline says you can start sending for as low as $1 per 10,000 emails, and the pitch is that you pay only for the emails you actually send. Credits never expire and no subscription is required. The comparison pages quote rates from $0.10/1k for credit packs bought at scale. Only some add-ons are subscription-based, and signing up needs no credit card.

For a sender with uneven volume, a month of heavy sending followed by quiet months, never-expiring credits mean nothing is lost in the quiet months; that is the "fair option" Emailit says it was built to be. Its own checklist for when Emailit is the right pick reads: an owned EU data center rather than a cloud residency checkbox, PAYG credits rather than monthly plans, simpler pricing, a budget that matters as much as deliverability tooling, and API and SMTP sending plus campaigns being enough.

Support and community

Support runs through support@emailit.com, and Emailit has a Discord community that the home page says has over 1,300 customers sharing experiences, tips and success stories. The company is also on X, GitHub and LinkedIn. Reviews on the home page mention quick help from a team member named George during setup and describe the support as incredible. The page shows a rating of 4.5/5 from 2,150+ happy customers.

The site adds a blog, an Answers section covering topics such as sending without a monthly subscription and choosing an EU or GDPR-focused transactional email API, free email tools including a countdown timer, and an Acceptable Use Policy alongside the privacy policy and terms of service.

Who it suits

Emailit suits developers and small teams who send transactional mail from web apps and from WordPress, Joomla or OpenCart sites and want no monthly subscription: buy credits, send, and keep what you do not use. The owned Prague data center matters to European teams that want their provider's sending infrastructure in the EU and run by the provider itself. Teams that also send an occasional newsletter can do it from Campaigns in the same account, and official client libraries for Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java, .NET and Laravel cover most application stacks.

The campaign tool is presented as an add-on to API and SMTP sending, so senders whose main need is marketing automation will find the platform's weight on the developer side.
