Pricing

3 domains free. 20 domains for $39 a year.

You pay for two things: how many of your domains you use with imado, and how much mail you store. There is no charge per address or per person. Free is 3 domains and 1 GB of stored mail, and stays free after the alpha. Builder is $39 a year for 20 domains and 10 GB. More domains or storage can be added to either plan, priced below. How setup works is on the home page.

Choose Builder

Both buttons create the same account, and nothing on this page is charged while imado is in alpha. When paid plans start we tell you by email first, and nothing can be charged until you enter a payment method.

Add-ons

Add a domain or storage to either plan.

One more domain you already own is $5 a year. 5 GB more stored mail is $10 a year. The prices are the same on Free and Builder, so five domains on Free is $10 a year, and you stay on Free.

Comparison

What each plan includes.

Domains and stored mail are the only two things with a price. The other numbers here are limits, not prices: they exist so that no one account can send in bulk and get everyone else's mail marked as spam. Every limit is on the fair use page as a number.

    Shared across all your domains. When it is full, mail keeps arriving and nothing is deleted; your account page shows the meter, and you add a block or clear space.

Questions

Before you pay.

Do I need to buy a domain from you?

No. Use a domain you already own, from any registrar. A plan's domain count is how many of your domains can have addresses on imado.

Do you charge per address or per mailbox?

No. Create the addresses your domains need, support@, hello@, one per person, at no charge each, up to 25 per domain on Free and 1,000 on Builder.

Do you charge per person?

No. Giving someone access to an inbox costs nothing extra, for up to 3 other people on Free and 1,000 on Builder.

I own a lot of domains. Is each one a subscription?

No. One account covers every domain you connect: 3 on Free, 20 on Builder, and $5 a year for each one beyond that, on either plan.

What happens when I connect domain number 21 on Builder?

It costs $5 a year more, and that is all. There is no larger plan, and every add-on renews on the same date as the plan.

I have one personal domain but a lot of mail. Do I need Builder?

No. One domain with 22 GB of mail stays on Free: the included 1 GB is $0, and 5 storage blocks take you to 26 GB for $50 a year. Builder is for more domains, catch-all, and higher sending limits.

What happens when my storage is full?

Mail keeps arriving, nothing bounces, and nothing is deleted. Your account page shows how much you have used; when it is full, you clear some space or add 5 GB for $10 a year.

What if a side project becomes a real company?

The company creates its own imado account and you move the domain into it, with its addresses and all their mail. The company's account pays for it from then on, and you can be a member of both accounts. Moving is coming after the alpha; until then, write to us and we do it for you.

What happens if I downgrade?

You choose which 3 of your domains stay on Free, and you can keep paying $5 a year for any others. A domain you stop paying for stops sending and receiving, but its mail stays in your account, readable, and the domain can be turned back on or its mail exported later.

Is this for newsletters or cold outreach?

No. imado is for mail between people. Newsletters, campaigns and mail your software sends belong on services built for them; the fair use page says exactly where the line is. Receiving is never limited by who sent it, so notifications and receipts arriving at your address are fine.

When would I actually pay, and how?

Not during the alpha. When paid plans start, we tell you by email before they apply to your account, and nothing can be charged until you enter a payment method. After that, one payment a year covers the plan and every add-on on it.
