Genmail Free vs Pro: when to upgrade
Start free; pay when short timers or limits get in your way.
Genmail’s free tier offers anonymous disposable inboxes with standard lifetimes, while Pro adds longer retention, custom inboxes, and other power-user features for people who outgrow short throwaway sessions.
What free is for
Anonymous generation, receiving real mail for verification and signups, and walking away when you are done. If your jobs finish in one sitting, free is often enough.
Signals you are outgrowing free
Flows that routinely exceed the free lifespan, multiple parallel inboxes you want to juggle, attachment-heavy workflows, or a preference for ad-free reading on Genmail’s own pages are typical reasons people look at Pro—see current details on the pricing page.
Upgrade is optional pressure-free
We would rather you succeed on the free tier than bounce. Upgrade when the product friction is real, not because of dark patterns.
