83 Quality Score

Active Installs

22/30

With 70,000 active installs, EmailKit has a meaningful install base that puts it ahead of YayMail and ShopMagic but below the category leader Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated July 2026 and tested against WordPress 7.0, the plugin shows clear evidence of active and current maintenance.

User Rating

14/15

The 94 out of 100 rating across 12 reviews is excellent, though the small sample size means the number should be treated as directional rather than definitive.

Support Health

8/15

Only 1 support thread on record with a 100% resolution rate is a positive sign, but the tiny volume means support responsiveness is essentially unproven at scale.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+, and is tested with WordPress 7.0, giving it the strongest compatibility score in the category.

What It Does

EmailKit is a drag-and-drop email template builder for WordPress and WooCommerce that lets store owners visually customize transactional emails such as order confirmations, shipping notices, and account messages without touching code. It ships with prebuilt templates and supports WooCommerce's full email workflow out of the box. The free tier covers most standard WooCommerce email types and basic branding controls.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for small to mid-sized WooCommerce store owners who want their transactional emails to look branded and professional without paying for a premium customizer or hiring a developer. It also suits agencies that need a quick, no-cost way to rebrand client emails during a site build. Users running large stores with highly customized, multi-condition email automations may find it too simple.

Who Should Skip It

If you only send a handful of WooCommerce orders per month and are fine with the default WooCommerce email layout, this plugin adds unnecessary complexity to your stack. Power users who need conditional content, custom triggers, or marketing automation should look at ShopMagic instead.

The Bottom Line

EmailKit scores 83.3 out of 100 and delivers a capable, free, drag-and-drop email customizer with strong maintenance and compatibility signals. The main caveats are the small support footprint and a limited review pool, so larger stores should validate behaviour on a staging site first. For most WooCommerce shops that want branded transactional emails without paying for a premium tool, it is a solid choice.

Pick YayMail if you want a similar drag-and-drop builder with a longer track record and a larger user base of 50,000 installs.

ShopMagic – email automation 79/100

Pick ShopMagic when you need triggered and conditional marketing emails, not just transactional templates.

Email Customizer for WooCommerce | Drag and Drop Email Templates Builder 78/100

Pick this alternative if you want a simpler builder focused purely on WooCommerce email styling.

Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer 77/100

Pick Kadence when you are already using other Kadence plugins and want a designer from the same ecosystem with 100,000 installs behind it.

Email addon for CF7 77/100

Pick this only if your email customisation needs centre on Contact Form 7 submissions rather than WooCommerce orders.
