A cost that cannot run away
Every plan has a hard monthly cap. At the cap, sending pauses and the API reports what is left. Nothing is sent past it, and nothing is billed for it.

Email your customers can count on. Costs you can too.
emitemail sends receipts, password resets and order updates by API or SMTP. Choose a monthly limit. When you reach it, sending pauses and you are never billed for going over.

Why teams pick emitemail
Mail that reaches the inbox
Your domain is verified with DNS and every message is DKIM-signed as you. Addresses that bounce or complain are suppressed before they can hurt your reputation.
Learn moreSend from anything
A REST API and a typed Node client for code. SMTP on ports 587 and 465 for WordPress, WooCommerce and any app with a mail settings page.
Learn moreHow it works
Every email takes the same path. The first check that fails stops it, and you get the reason back.
- 1
Your app sends
POST to the API, or point SMTP at smtp.emitemail.com.
- 2
emitemail runs six checks
Domain, account, suppression list, monthly cap, rate limits.
- 3
Signed and delivered
DKIM-signed from our own mail servers in Canada.
- 4
You see the result
A log entry for every send and a signed webhook on bounces.
Domain verified. Only domains you own, proven with DNS.
Account in good standing. Suspended accounts stop here.
Not suppressed. Bounced and complained addresses are skipped.
Under the monthly cap. Over the limit, sending pauses.
Within rate limits. A new account or a Free plan is held to a safe pace, so a bug cannot burn a month in a day.
Signed and sent. DKIM-signed and relayed from Canada.
Everything the job needs

Read the docsSMTP relay
Change the host and password in any mail plugin or library. The same checks and limits apply.
Read the docsTyped Node client
One file with no dependencies. Retries network errors, waits out short rate limits, and verifies webhooks.
Read the docsWebhooks
Signed events for bounces and complaints, retried for up to six hours when your endpoint is down.
Read the docsDomains and API keys

Read the docsSend log
Every message with its status, headers and content, and a reason when something fails. Kept 30 days on Free and 90 days on paid plans.
Read the docsUsage alerts
A warning email before you reach your cap, so a pause never comes as a surprise.
Read the docsBuilt for coding agents
llms.txt, a plain-text copy of every docs page and a setup prompt for your AI assistant.
Read the docsMade for the messages that matter
If your product has to tell a customer something right after something happens, this is the job. emitemail is not for newsletters, marketing campaigns, bought lists or cold outreach.
Online stores
Order confirmations, shipping updates, receipts and refund notices. WooCommerce works through SMTP with no code.
Apps and SaaS
Sign-in codes, password resets, invitations and billing receipts sent from your backend.
WordPress and small sites
Contact-form messages and site notices that stop landing in spam or disappearing.
Agencies and freelancers
One account for several client sites, each with its own domain, key and brand.
Scripts and automations
Cron jobs and internal tools that must email a person when something happens.
Simple plans. A hard limit.

Frequently asked questions
Sending pauses and the API tells you how many emails remain. Nothing is sent past the cap and nothing is charged for it. Sending resumes when your next period starts.
Transactional email: order confirmations, receipts, password resets, sign-in codes and notifications. It is not built for newsletters or marketing campaigns.
Our own mail servers, in Canada. No other email provider sits between your app and the inbox.
Yes. Any SMTP plugin works. Use host smtp.emitemail.com, port 587 with STARTTLS, username emit, and an API key as the password.
We sign every message with DKIM and give you SPF and DMARC records. That is the foundation. No sender can promise inbox placement, because the receiving provider decides. New senders also have to build a reputation, which is why we admit people in small batches.
Not yet. The Free plan comes first while the servers build a clean sending reputation. Join the list and we will tell you when your turn comes.
