Emailit Reviews

Emailit is the platform I needed for our email marketing. We integrated it with GHL, and it works perfectly.

So far, my average open rate is 35%. But the most important thing is deliverability: with the email strategy we use, our emails actually land in the inbox.

And the pricing is a huge win. I have a list of 21,000+ contacts, and with GHL’s pricing, I would pay in just two months what I paid once for Emailit’s lifetime plan (highest tier). That made the decision really easy.

On top of that, their team is incredibly helpful. We followed their warm-up rules step by step, and they supported us the whole way—raising our sending limits week by week and improving speed safely.

I’m truly grateful for their help.

I performed all the setup verification and switched my existing applications SMTP credentials - deliverability TANKED. Emails that had gone through a million times before were now being flagged as "previously reported as spam".

Looking into the headers you find some "funfirstmail" header, so emailit is just a repackaged previous startup.

Got a refund and changed my applications back to the previous SMTP provider. The exact same emails are coming back to my inbox. All I can suspect is emailit / funfirstmail got blacklisted.

The product itself has been functioning, which is why I’m not rating this lower. But the buying experience left me feeling pressured, and afterward I honestly felt cheated.

I purchased the Emailit deal when it was marketed as “ending soon,” and then it returned less than a month later. On top of that, I was REQUIRED to buy AppSumo+ to access the deal at the time. After about a month, the deal came back again—this time without requiring AppSumo+.

The pricing difference makes this worse. I paid $360.81 total. If I bought today, it would be roughly $303.61 (based on the tax rate implied by my receipt), about $57.20 less. That includes the price increase from the tier 4 deal, which was $300 and is now $320.

I understand deals can come back, but the combination of the urgency messaging/deal "ending" and a temporary AppSumo+ requirement doesn’t feel transparent.

Revision based on reply to my review:

Thanks for the response. I understand you may not control AppSumo pricing or eligibility, but given the current listing price, it can be less expensive now since AppSumo+ isn't required for purchase.

What I paid (at the time)
Item total: $398.00
First purchase discount: -$29.90
AppSumo+ discount: -$26.91
Subtotal before tax: $398.00 - $29.90 - $26.91 = $341.19
Tax charged: +$19.62
Total paid: $341.19 + $19.62 = $360.81

Implied tax rate from my receipt
Tax rate = $19.62 / $341.19 = 0.0575046 (about 5.7505%)

If purchased today (current listing price: $319.00)
Item total today: $319.00
First purchase discount (10%): -$31.90
Subtotal before tax: $319.00 - $31.90 = $287.10
Estimated tax (same rate): $287.10 x 0.0575046 = $16.51
Estimated total today: $287.10 + $16.51 = $303.61

Difference
$360.81 - $303.61 = $57.20 cheaper today (estimated)

This is the core issue behind my review: the deal was presented as “ending soon,” access required AppSumo+ at the time, and then it returned shortly after, without the AppSumo+ requirement, making it cheaper today.

I’ll also email AppSumo support as you suggested to confirm checkout totals and ask them to address the difference.

Emailit has been a great addition to our agency toolkit. Setup was straightforward, deliverability has been solid, and the SMTP/API options give us the flexibility we need for different client projects.

For agencies managing multiple brands or client accounts, the value here is hard to beat, especially as a lifetime deal. Highly recommend for any business looking to streamline their email infrastructure.

I purchased Emailit – License Tier 5 on AppSumo, advertised with 1,000,000 credits per month.
In reality, this product is completely misleading and unusable for any serious email marketing.

🔴 CSV import is limited to 2,500 emails per file.
I have a 60,000-email list, which forces me to manually split the file into dozens of parts. This is ridiculous and totally unprofessional.

🔴 Daily sending limit of 5,000 emails.
With this restriction, it is mathematically impossible to ever use 1 million credits.
This makes the offer deceptive and borderline false advertising.

🔴 Extremely poor and basic interface:

No proper open rate reporting

No click tracking

No clear bounce data

No usable unsubscribe analytics

You don’t even know who unsubscribed or what actually happened to your campaign.

🔴 Huge waste of time.
Instead of focusing on campaigns, you spend your time working around artificial limitations.

Conclusion:
This product does not deliver what is promised.
I am requesting a refund and cancellation. A self-hosted emailing tool on a private server is 100x more powerful and reliable than this solution.

Avoid.
