Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from Settings → Billing. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing; downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. ### What happens if I exceed my email limit? I notify you when you reach 80% of your monthly limit. On Pro and Scale you can enable pay-as-you-go ($0.60 per 1,000 emails) to keep sending past the limit. Free users must upgrade — Free does not support pay-as-you-go. ### Is the self-hosted version really free? Yes. The self-hosted version is free forever with community support. You only pay AWS SES for actual email volume (~$0.10 per 1,000 emails). For paid support, the Support plan is $29 / month and the fully Managed plan is $149 / month. ### Do you offer annual billing? Not yet — annual billing with a discount is on the roadmap. ### What payment methods do you accept? Cloud plans are billed via Stripe — all major credit cards, plus regional methods supported by Stripe in your country. ### Is there a free trial of paid plans? The Free plan is the trial. It uses the same infrastructure as paid plans, so when you upgrade nothing changes about how your emails are sent — limits just lift. ### Where is data stored? Cloud customers can pick US or EU at workspace creation. Sends route through SES `us-east-1` (US East, Virginia) or `eu-north-1` (EU North, Stockholm) accordingly. Inbound email is processed in `eu-west-1` (Ireland) regardless of sending region. ### Can I send from multiple domains? Yes — see "Domains" in the comparison table above. Each domain is verified independently with custom DKIM (BYODKIM). --- ## Links - Sign up: - Self-hosting guide: - API reference: - Compare to alternatives: , , - Book a managed-deployment call:
