2. Read the product guide for the task I want to complete and inspect my existing integration. Identify the workspace, available operations and required setup.
3. Help me complete a first example for the product and destination I choose. Follow the operation through to its actual result, explain any uncertainty, and help me choose the next step.

First task: Compare my expected volume with the current published plans and take me to plan review without purchasing.

## Start for free. Grow into it

Free to start with no card. Startup covers 50K and 100K emails a month; Growth’s per-message rate falls at every step as you scale to 2.5M. Beyond that, Enterprise. Every rate below is the published list price.

[Choose Startup](/dashboard/signup?returnTo=%2Fdashboard%2Fw%2Femail%2Fplan%2Fstartup)

[Choose Growth](/dashboard/signup?returnTo=%2Fdashboard%2Fw%2Femail%2Fplan%2Fgrowth)

Choosing a paid plan starts with account creation, then plan review. Confirm your sending volume, account currency and billing details before a paid plan starts.

## The pricing model in five lines.

Five rules that don’t change with the rate grid. They’re the contract: the tiers are the implementation.

- **01** No seats. No platform fee. Your team size is your business, not a billing dimension. The bill is the email you send, nothing else.
- **02** Free to start, no card. 1,000 emails a month, no credit card, no time limit. Verify a domain and send. Sandbox sends never count against the limit.
- **03** Flat, then declining. Startup covers 50K or 100K emails a month. On Growth the per-message rate falls at every step as volume rises, all the way to 2.5M. The ladder above carries the published figure for each step.
- **04** A lean base, managed add-ons à la carte. Authentication, dashboards, suppression, webhooks, 30-day retention and a shared IP are included on every plan. Dedicated IPs unlock on Growth: attach them only when you need them.
- **05** No runaway bills. Unused volume doesn’t roll over, and overage bills at the published rate, capped at 5× your plan by default. Sends pause at the ceiling rather than billing without limit.

## Questions about email pricing

### How much does it cost?

The Free plan gives you 1,000 emails a month at no cost and no card required. On the paid plans the per-message rate drops as you scale, and going over what your plan covers is billed per 1,000 emails. The pricing page carries the published figure for every step. An enterprise agreement can lift that cap entirely.

### What happens to custom handles if I downgrade or use my own domain?

Downgrading does not break anything: handles you have already claimed keep working, you just cannot claim new ones until you are back under the allowance. A mailbox on your own domain counts toward your overall mailbox quota like any other, and its local part never touches the custom-handle allowance.

### How much do dedicated IPs cost?

Dedicated IPs are an add-on on the Growth plan, up to five, at the monthly price shown on the email pricing page. There is no setup fee and no annual commitment.
