Do AI builders send confirmation emails on a free plan?

No. Five of six builders could not send mail without a paid plan and a verified domain. The exception is Framer, which only shows a success message without a configured recipient.

Every booking builder handled this the same honest way: the confirmation screen states that no email was sent and why. Lovable names the paid plan, Base44 the plan plus a domain, Bolt even names the missing secret (RESEND_API_KEY).

That is better than silence, but it means a studio cannot actually confirm an appointment on a free plan. The first real monthly bill in this category is not the website — it is mail.

Framer is the outlier in the wrong direction: its form says "Message sent" although no recipient is configured anywhere.
