Pricing

Predictable pricing per protected domain

Protect up to 250 mailboxes per domain with one predictable domain-based price. Your per-domain rate decreases as the number of protected domains grows.

Partner pricing

Gateway filtering

One rate per protected domain, per month, in US dollars. The rate for your total protected-domain count applies to every domain in the account. At 250 domains and above, pricing is custom.

Rates are based on the total number of protected domains in your account. The applicable per-domain rate is applied to all protected domains.

Evaluate One Domain

Aliases and distribution addresses count toward the 250 mailboxes included on each protected domain. No setup fee, no minimum term, and no per-user component at any tier. Archiving is the one metered component, because bytes kept for years are a cost that genuinely does scale.

Included in every domain

  • Up to 250 mailboxes, users, aliases and shared mailboxes per protected domain
  • Every scanning stage, with each engine configurable per domain
  • Gateway hosting, updates, signature feeds and maintenance
  • DMARC aggregate report collection, analysis and alerting per domain
  • Quarantine, message tracking and per-message filter breakdown
  • Multi-tenant administration with role-based access and TOTP two-factor
  • Email support

Certain capabilities depend on mail-flow configuration or optional integrations.

Optional services and integrations

  • AI analysis API usage — use your own OpenAI or Anthropic account and pay the provider directly. MailThreatZero adds no markup.
  • Attachment reputation and multi-engine analysis use your own VirusTotal account. Provider charges, if any, are paid directly to VirusTotal. MailThreatZero adds no markup.
  • Message archiving — an optional MailThreatZero add-on, billed separately based on retained storage and retention term

AI analysis is off until you enable it. AI and attachment reputation are billed by the provider on your own account; archiving is a MailThreatZero add-on billed by us.

Archive storage add-on

Message history and quarantine data for investigation come with the domain rate. Long-term archiving is a separate add-on available today, priced on retained capacity and retention term.

Archiving is a separate add-on. You buy a bucket of retained storage and divide it across your domains yourself — the bucket is what you bought, the split is yours to change. What you buy is fixed at purchase: a later price or size change does not alter it.

Over-bucket usage is billed at the rate shown rather than cut off. A domain that exceeds its share keeps being retained, so the record stays complete and the overage is simply visible and billable.

Archive packages are added to an existing subscription through your account contact, so the retention term and bucket size are agreed before anything is billed. Talk to us about archiving.

What it costs in practice

  • 1 partner-managed domain$39/domain — $39/month. Up to 250 mailboxes per protected domain, and no per-user component.
  • 10 partner-managed domains$39/domain — $390/month. Up to 250 mailboxes per protected domain, and no per-user component.
  • 50 partner-managed customer domains$37/domain — $1,850/month. Up to 250 mailboxes per protected domain, and no per-user component.
  • 100 partner-managed customer domains$35/domain — $3,500/month. Up to 250 mailboxes per protected domain, and no per-user component.
  • A direct organization protecting one domain$39/domain — $39/month. Up to 250 mailboxes per protected domain, and no per-user component.
  • Above 250 protected domains the rate is negotiated. There is no published figure because there is no single one.

    An account keeps the rate card it was sold. A new published price does not change an agreement already in place.

Before you commit

Evaluate One Domain Before You Commit

You do not have to take the pricing on trust, or enforce anything to find out whether it works.

Point one customer domain at the gateway in Monitor Mode. Real mail is received and scored, every decision is recorded with the reasoning behind it, and delivery carries on unchanged. You get to see what MailThreatZero would have caught, and what it would have held that you would rather it had not, before a single message is stopped.

That is the same filtering the price above covers — Monitor Mode is a setting on the domain, not a reduced trial tier.

Why per protected domain rather than per mailbox, and what that choice costs us: the reasoning behind the pricing model.

Archive storage is not included in the calculator, because the bucket you need depends on retained volume rather than on domain count. Add it from the table above.

Pricing questions

What exactly is a "domain"?

One email domain that you point at the gateway — the part after the @. Every mailbox, alias and distribution address on it is covered. Subdomains that receive mail separately count as their own domain.

How many mailboxes does a protected domain cover?

Up to 250. Within that, a protected domain costs the same with five mailboxes or two hundred, and aliases and distribution addresses are covered too. There is no seat count anywhere in the bill, so a customer hiring people does not change what you pay.

Which rate applies to me — direct or partner?

If you are protecting your own organization's domains, the direct rate of $39 per protected domain applies. If you manage domains on behalf of customers, the partner rates apply: from $39 per protected domain, falling as your portfolio grows.

A direct organization pays $39 per protected domain — the same as the entry partner rate. Partners receive lower volume rates as their protected-domain portfolio grows, which is where the partner margin comes from.

If you publish new rates, does my price change?

No. Your account is pinned to the rate card it was sold on, and publishing a new one does not move you. When we changed the published rates, every account that already existed stayed on the card it had.

This is enforced in the billing code rather than promised in a policy: a statement resolves the rate from your account's own card, and it names that card on the statement so a figure can be checked later. Moving an account to a different card is a deliberate act that is recorded — it cannot happen as a side effect of us changing a price.

Does message volume change the price?

No. Archiving is the one metered component, because bytes kept for years are a cost that genuinely does scale.

Is there a setup fee or a contract?

No setup fee, and it is month to month. There is no minimum term to sign.

How do we pay?

PayPal is accepted for the monthly subscription. Billing is month to month with no setup fee and no minimum term, and AI and VirusTotal usage is billed to you by those providers directly rather than passing through us.

Are infrastructure, updates and maintenance included?

Yes — we operate the gateway, including hosting, software updates, signature feeds and maintenance. There is nothing for you to run or patch.

What is included in filtering at this price?

Every enabled and applicable scanning stage runs for each message: sender authentication, network and sender reputation, malware and attachment scanning with document and macro analysis, spam and content analysis, and phishing and impersonation checks. Optional AI analysis and VirusTotal intelligence use accounts you supply and are billed directly by those providers. Long-term message archiving is an optional MailThreatZero add-on billed separately based on retained storage and retention term. Certain capabilities depend on mail-flow configuration or optional integrations.

What will AI actually cost?

That depends on your provider, model and how much of your mail is inconclusive after the deterministic stages. AI analysis runs only when the deterministic stages leave a message inconclusive, so most mail is decided without any AI call. You are billed by the provider directly, so you can see and cap it yourself. Start with AI off and turn it on once you have seen your own volumes.

How does archive storage work?

Archiving is available now as a separate add-on. Optional archive storage is billed separately based on retained capacity and retention term. Retention runs from one to seven years depending on the package, with the seven-year package designed for organizations requiring extended retention periods. You buy a bucket and divide it across your domains yourself. Message history and quarantine data for investigation are included with the domain rate and do not need the add-on.

What support comes with it?

Email support is included with every protected domain. Mail-flow interruptions, widespread false positives, and suspected security incidents receive priority handling. Support terms and response targets are provided with each service plan.
