| Free tier | no free plan: Simple pricing is $10 a year with no hard limits on users, custom domains or storage; a trial account starts with a limited credit balance and needs an SMS-capable phone unit none; metered on none; Advanced pricing bills resources instead: storage $0.56 per compressed GB per year, a $4.00 yearly account fee, $0.23 per 1000 external sends plus $0.18 per GB, $0.03 per 1000 received plus $0.04 per GB, and no charge for custom domains or users on owned domains. Significant overuse of Simple pricing may require a switch to Advanced pricing. |

| Price | none stated |
| Limits | |
| Binding | request-rate Simple pricing sets no hard limit on users, domains or storage, so the external sending rate is the first stated ceiling. |
| Identity | card the paid signup charges $10 through Stripe; the free trial needs an SMS-capable phone to activate. Signup asks for an administrator username on a shared domain and a password, with a recovery email or phone recommended. |
