| plan | from $/mo | billed | source | checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $19.95 | per emails sent a month | pricing page | 2026-10-20 |
| Pro | $89.95 | per emails sent a month | pricing page | 2026-10-20 |
Essentials: Listed as "starting at $19.95" for 50,000 to 100,000 emails a month. The page gives no separate price at 100,000, so no price is shown there. The permanent free plan was retired in 2025: new accounts get a 60-day free trial of 100 emails a day, then must pay.
Pro: Listed as "starting at $89.95" for 100,000 to 2,500,000 emails a month. The page shows exact prices only at its slider stops (300,000, 700,000, 1.5 million, 2.5 million); other volumes are not priced here.
