Priced to keep your sending identity clean.

Seven days free, then $9.99 a month. There is no free tier, because a free tier on shared infrastructure gets paid for by every other sender on the pool — in reputation. If you want OutSend for nothing, run it yourself: the core is open source.

On every paid plan

Observability is never the upsell.

  • Every paid plan gets the API, the CLI, the MCP server, the SMTP relay, signed webhooks, all eight event types with their raw provider payloads, DKIM/SPF/DMARC verification, per-domain reputation scoring, and suppression lists per stream.
  • We gate volume, retention, and support — never the evidence. Putting the proof behind a higher tier would contradict the entire reason this product exists.

02 · Add-ons

  • Dedicated IP

    From $50/mo

    A sending IP used by you and nobody else, warmed on a schedule we publish.

  • Extended retention

    From $5/mo

    Keep raw event payloads beyond your plan's window.

  • DMARC monitoring

    From $14/mo per domain

    Aggregate report parsing with alerting on alignment failures.

  • Self-host support

    Custom

    A support contract for the open core running on your own infrastructure.

Or pay us nothing at all.

The core is open source and runs single-tenant on your own infrastructure. You will pay AWS for the sending and operate it yourself — and there is no feature we removed from the code to sell back to you.

03 · Questions

Answered plainly.

Something missing? Ask us and we will add it here.

What happens after the 7-day trial?

You pick a plan and keep your data, or you do nothing and the account stops sending. We do not auto-charge you at the end of a trial, and we do not delete your event history the moment it lapses.

Is there a free tier?

Not for the hosted service. A free tier on shared sending infrastructure is paid for by someone — usually by every other sender on the pool, in reputation. We would rather charge a fair price and keep your sending identity clean. If you want to run OutSend for nothing, self-host it: the core is open source and free.

How does overage work?

Every plan includes a monthly volume. Past that you pay per additional 1,000 emails at your plan's rate, billed in arrears. There is no hard cutoff mid-month and no surprise suspension — though we will tell you when the next plan up is cheaper than your overage, because it usually is.

Can I switch plans mid-month?

Yes, in either direction, prorated. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the end of the current period so you keep what you have paid for.

What counts as an email?

One accepted message to one recipient. A message to three recipients counts as three. Messages rejected before they leave OutSend — suppressed addresses, unverified domains, failed validation — are not billed.

Can I send marketing email, or is this transactional only?

Both, on separate streams with separate suppression lists. Broadcast campaigns are available from the Growth plan, including warm-up ramps that step a new sending identity up gradually rather than all at once.

Do you offer a BAA?

On the Dedicated plan, on request. HIPAA-regulated sending belongs on isolated infrastructure, so we do not offer a BAA on shared plans — that would be a document rather than a control.

Is self-hosting really free?

The software is. You will pay AWS for the actual sending, and you will operate it yourself. There is no feature gate between the open core and the cloud — cloud exists because running mail infrastructure is work, not because we removed something from the code.

What if I exceed my plan's limits?

Volume overage is billed per 1,000. Rate limits (60 requests per minute, 1,000 per hour per API key) return a 429 with a clear message rather than silently dropping mail, and they can be raised on Scale and Dedicated.

How do I migrate from another provider?

The API is close enough to what you are already using that most migrations are a base URL, a key, and a field-name pass. We publish guides for SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Postmark, and Resend, and Dedicated includes hands-on help.

Seven days to check everything.

Verify a domain, send a message, and read the trace it leaves behind. If it does not convince you, nothing we write here should.
