Questions on the route

Is EmailJS a transactional email provider like SendGrid or Resend?

No, EmailJS is an Email Orchestration Layer and Unified API hub. It does not operate its own email delivery servers but instead sits on top of existing infrastructure, allowing developers to connect their preferred email services and route emails through different providers dynamically or switch providers instantly from the dashboard without refactoring application logic.

Why should I use EmailJS in my app?

Standard transactional email providers require exposing secret keys or passwords in client-side code, which is a critical security risk. EmailJS acts as a secure, provider-agnostic proxy that safely stores all provider authentication details server-side, so your client-side code never touches secret keys and instead triggers predefined templates via a secure abstraction layer.

Is there a free tier available for testing and small projects?

Yes, EmailJS offers a generous free plan with everything needed to build, test, and launch projects. Unlike other free services, it never serves ads and does not sell email content, metadata, or logs. The free tier is funded by paid subscribers. Users can upgrade to a premium plan when their application scales and they require higher volume routing, dedicated support, or advanced security controls.

Do I need a credit card to sign up for the free tier?

No credit card is required. You only need to provide your name and email address to create a free account and start sending emails directly from your application code.

What happens if I hit my monthly request quota limit?

EmailJS does not charge automatic overage fees. Once you hit 100% of your plan's monthly request limit, additional API requests are safely dropped by the servers. Email notifications are sent when your account reaches 80%, 95%, and 100% of quota, giving you time to upgrade.
