Email on your own domain with a genuinely free tier.
Who it is for
For a small operation that wants a professional address without a per-user bill.
The catch
The free plan covers up to five users with 5 GB each, and it is webmail only: no IMAP, POP or ActiveSync, so you cannot use your own mail app with it.
Where it sits in the stack
Zoho Mail is filed under “Email at your own domain” in the stack directory. Its label there is the same one at the top of this page: listed, not tested. I have read its pricing and mechanics and have not run a project on it, so this page describes it and stops short of recommending it. That distinction is the whole point of the directory.
What has changed about its pricing
Nothing, as far as this site has recorded. Zoho Mail has no entry in the price change log, which means either its pricing has held since this site started checking or nobody here has re-read it since the figure above was taken. The log distinguishes those two cases deliberately, and a tool with no entry is the weaker of them.
The alternatives in the same slot
These do the same job and sit in the same section of the directory.
- Fastmail — listed, not tested, paid only
- Google Workspace — listed, not tested, paid only
The whole stack, filterable, with the catch stated on every entry.
