We know that everyone loves free stuff. We do, too! But do you know who really likes free email sending? Spammers . Urgh. The sad truth is that the internet is a weird place and bad actors will find a way to try and abuse email sending tools, especially if free sending is available. We’d rather spend our time supporting legit senders like you than playing whack-a-mole with spammers. That’s why we offer the following: 1,000 free messages for testing You can send up to 1,000 messages for free, as long as you’re sending those to recipients on your own domain (that you’ve already verified in Helo)—that’s plenty of free test messages to explore Helo’s sending features. Affordable entry pricing When you’re ready to send outside your domain, you’ll find Helo’s pricing is designed to be fair and affordable at every volume. Sending 3,500 emails costs just $6.23, or about $1 less than Rob’s typical Starbucks order. A lot of email platforms quietly subsidize their biggest customers off the margins of their smallest ones. We think that’s pretty crappy. And as a bootstrapped company, we know what it's like to watch every dollar.
