About
MailChannels provides email infrastructure for hosting providers, platforms, and developers through outbound filtering, inbound filtering, and an Email API. The service supports SMTP relay, REST API access, webhooks, and cPanel integration for sending and filtering email across multi-tenant environments.
The pricing page lists a free Email API plan with up to 3,000 emails per month and no overages, plus a 100 emails per day limit. Paid plans start at $99.99 per month for Outbound Filtering and volume-based Email API plans begin above the free tier. The product is aimed at transactional email, abuse prevention, and delivery control rather than general-purpose inbox hosting.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable monthly allowance rather than a trial: it includes up to 3,000 emails per month with no overages, so a developer can keep using it indefinitely within the cap. The closest paid Email API plan starts at $10/month for 10,000 emails, and this free tier provides about 30% of that volume plus the core integrations and logs, so a fair buyer-side estimate is about $10/month of value. A credit card is not called out as unnecessary, so there is some signup friction, but the recurring cap keeps it well below the paid plans.
