Inbox Check is free forever

Unlimited placement tests, no credit card, no signup wall. Why the core product is free and what that means for teams that use it.

Every other deliverability tool charges somewhere between $29 and $150 per month. We run the same category of product, with broader provider coverage and a bigger seed network, and we charge nothing. This post explains why, and what “free forever” actually includes.

What's free
  • Unlimited placement tests, every provider we support.
  • 4,000+ real seed mailboxes across 30+ providers.
  • Authentication audit (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI) included with every test.
  • API access, with OAuth for Zapier/Make/n8n.
  • MCP server for agent workflows.
  • Presend text analysis.
  • Domain monitoring.
  • Post-send tracking with spam-move alerts.

Why free?

Inbox placement is a public-interest problem. Senders can't currently see what real mailboxes do with their mail. That asymmetry has created a whole market of expensive tools, and worse, an ecosystem of warmup vendors whose pricing depends on hiding real numbers. We'd rather not be another player in that market. We'd rather just tell you the number.

Commercially, free-forever gets used more. More usage means more seed data, better provider coverage, better anomaly detection. The free tier is the product.

No signup for the basic test

Paste your cold template, pick providers, run the test. Results in 30–120 seconds. You can sign up if you want history, alerts, and the API — that's also free.

Is anything paid?

We offer a paid plan for teams that want priority queuing, retention of historical tests beyond 90 days, and SLAs. The paid tier is optional — nothing about the free tier is a trial.

FAQ

Is there a rate limit on the free tier?

A generous per-email and per-IP limit to prevent abuse of seed mailboxes, and a rolling cap per seed account. It's not a limit you'll hit in normal use, even at 100k tests/day.

Will you start charging later?

The core test has been free from day one and will stay free. The commitment is in our public pricing page.

How do you afford it?

Paid tiers for teams that want SLAs and long retention. Sponsorship of the seed network from partners interested in deliverability research. Low operating costs because we don't run a warmup pool.
