How your plan and billing works

Each plan in MailerSend (including the free plan) includes a monthly email limit. Once you have reached your plan’s email allowance for the month, you’ll simply be charged—in the next month—a set rate for every additional 1000 emails sent. So you can rest assured your important transactional emails will continue to be sent even if your plan’s quota is exceeded. The number of emails that you send then resets every 30 days.

What’s included in the free plan

The free plan allows you to send up to 3,000 emails every month for free (yes, for free)! If your outgoing emails exceed 3,000 within your billing period, you can continue to send emails at a metered rate of $1.00 per 1000 additional emails sent.

In addition, the free plan grants you unlimited access to features such as: Email API, SMTP relay, webhooks, advanced email tracking, real-time analytics, multiple email editors and more! Check out our pricing page to discover everything our free plan has to offer.

What’s included in a premium plan

If you need to send more than 3,000 emails a month, you will benefit from subscribing to a premium plan. You can select your plan size based on the number of emails you expect you’ll need to send. If you exceed the sending quota outlined in your premium plan, you will be charged a metered rate of starting at $0.90 per additional 1000 emails sent.

On top of larger sending limits and discounted pay-as-you-go rates, premium plans, of course, include premium features! This includes:

  • Transactional SMS API

  • 14-day log retention

  • Inbound routing

  • Multiple sending domains

  • Multiple account users

  • Dedicated IP for high-volume senders

  • 24/7 live chat support

  • Expert deliverability consultation

Premium plans start from as little as $30.00 a month for an allowance of 50,000 emails per month. Compare MailerSend plans to determine which plan is right for you.
