Fastmail

Independent paid email with Individual, Family and business plans

Overview

Fastmail is an independent email provider headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with a US office in Philadelphia; it describes itself as operating since 1999.[12] It focuses on email, calendar and contacts rather than a full productivity suite and supports standard protocols including IMAP.

Business plans are Basic (US$3 per user per month annually, US$4 monthly, 6 GB, no custom domain), Standard (US$5 annually, US$6 monthly, 60 GB, custom domains) and Professional (US$9 annually, US$10 monthly, 150 GB). Longer terms cut prices further, to US$4.67 per user per month for Standard over 36 months. A trial of up to 30 days is offered and prices exclude tax.[11] Consumer plans (Individual, Duo and Family) also support custom domains, which makes Fastmail usable by sole traders.

Fastmail’s limitations are the absence of bundled document editing or video meetings and a Basic plan that does not support custom domains, so most businesses need Standard or above.
