Fastmail fine print
- Fastmail's $3 Basic business plan does not allow custom domains. Standard at $5 per user per month on a 12-month term is the cheapest plan that does.
- Over the storage quota, new mail is soft-bounced so senders retry. After a week over quota it is hard-bounced and returned as undeliverable.
- Aliases and domains are pools for the whole account: 600 aliases plus 15 per user, and 100 domains plus 1 per user.
- Messages can be up to 70 MB in total, which after encoding means attachments of about 50 MB.
- Prices exclude tax. You can change plans or cancel at any time.
Emayler fine print
- New Free accounts send from their mailbox address and can add up to three receive-only aliases. Grandfathered Free accounts keep unlimited aliases and alternate sending addresses. Paid plans include unlimited aliases, alternate sending addresses and catch-all.
- Sending switches on after your domain verifies and we approve the account. Paid plans allow up to 100,000 sends a month per account and 100 an hour per mailbox; Free allows 1,500 a month and 20 an hour.
- Yearly plans are charged upfront and can be refunded within 14 days of payment. Cancelling renewal keeps the plan active to the end of the paid period. Renewal price increases come with at least 30 days' notice.
- Mail is kept until you delete it, with no age-based deletion on any plan. IMAP and SMTP access for desktop and phone mail apps is not available yet.
What Fastmail does better
- Calendar, contacts and file storage built in.
- Polished apps for phone and desktop, and support for Outlook and iPhone Mail.
- Masked email addresses and long-standing JMAP support.
- A choice of EU or US data residency.
What Emayler does better
- One account price instead of a per-user fee. Ten mailboxes on Pro cost $120 a year in total.
- Unlimited aliases on paid plans, so billing@, hello@ and support@ cost nothing extra.
- Storage is pooled across the account, so one busy inbox can use what quiet ones do not.
- A Free plan with one mailbox on your own domain and no age-based deletion.
- A 14-day refund window on every payment, including yearly plans.
