About Emailit
Emailit is a developer-focused email delivery service that provides both REST API and SMTP relay for sending transactional and marketing emails. It supports 9 programming language SDKs, webhook notifications for delivery events, SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication, automatic suppression lists, and campaign workflows with triggers and conditions. The credit-based pricing (1 credit per API/SMTP send, 2 per campaign) makes it cost-effective for high-volume senders. Useful for replacing expensive email services like SendGrid or Mailgun with a one-time purchase. Acquired as a lifetime deal from AppSumo. Alternatives: Postmark (faster deliverability focused purely on transactional email), Mailgun (developer-friendly with powerful routing), SendGrid (larger scale with advanced analytics), Brevo (combined transactional and marketing in one platform).
