Where it sits in the data
Emailit's $1.7K in the last 30 days is higher than 81% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Dev Tools” category (717 projects) it is higher than 84% (category median $100). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, this is a viable product direction for a founder who understands the buyer: developers integrating email into products and marketers sending campaigns. Demand is concrete because the product covers transactional delivery, marketing sends, domain management, analytics, and event responses. Distribution would need to come from developer documentation, integration surfaces, and community channels.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
My view is that a focused email product can present a clear pricing structure without monthly subscription fees. The difficult part is delivering reliable infrastructure, supporting authentication and event handling, managing deliverability, and helping users with support and compliance questions.
