Sentim Emotion API review
A low-cost API for classifying emotions in messages and conversation context.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sentim Emotion API classifies emotions in individual text messages and conversations. It is aimed at chatbot developers and teams working with conversational assistants or transcripts, and suits organizations that can make authenticated API requests. Conversation endpoints use surrounding messages to classify the latest message and can return emotion labels and scores for user messages. A separate batch endpoint analyzes up to 25 text strings at a time, without conversation context. The product is focused on text rather than multimodal emotion analysis, so teams needing audio or other input types should look elsewhere.
Pricing is usage-based. The Emotion Recognition API includes 10,000 free messages each month, with messages beyond that priced at $0.001 per message. The published plan information makes the free allowance and per-message price clear, while the unit price does not state a billing period. This model may fit teams that want to start with a defined monthly allowance and pay according to message volume beyond it. For buyers comparing costs, the relevant question is expected message volume; the price applies per message, not per batch.
The API is accessed through OAuth 2.0 client-credentials authentication, which makes it a fit for applications able to manage authenticated API calls rather than teams looking for a standalone interface. Email and documentation are listed as support channels. Its text-language support is listed as five primary languages. Choose Sentim when message-level emotion labels and scores, contextual classification, and low per-message pricing align with your project. Consider an alternative if your workflow depends on interpreting non-text inputs or needs context-aware analysis of batches of separate strings.
