About

ClankerMails is a hosted email inbox service for bots and automations. It provides real email addresses that can be created through an API, then polled or monitored for incoming messages without running an email server.

The service includes inbox creation, message retrieval, real-time notifications, and attachments. The pricing page lists a perpetual Sandbox plan with 1 inbox, 50 messages per month, 5 MB attachments, and 1-day retention, plus paid Pro and Business plans for higher limits.

  • API-created hosted inboxes
  • 1 inbox on the free Sandbox plan
  • 50 messages per month
  • 5 MB attachment limit
  • 1-day message retention
  • Real-time message notifications
  • Attachment support

This free tier is a capped sandbox with no credit card required, so it has real value but only for light testing. Compared with the $9 Pro plan, the included 1 inbox and 50 messages per month are roughly a small slice of the paid allowance, so about $2/month is a fair buyer-facing estimate.
