Unlimited users, unlimited domains, email on your own domain. $9 a year, no per-seat math.Most email hosts bill you per person. A mail server doesn't work that way. It costs storage and bandwidth, so that's what we charge for. $9 a year gets you unlimited mailboxes, unlimited domains, and 10 GB pooled storage. Extra storage is $0.40/GB/year. One plan, no tiers, 30-day refund. IMAP, POP3, SMTP, JMAP, webmail, aliases, catch-all, Sieve filters, 2FA. Bring a domain you own and add four DNS records.
What's great
Very easy to set up, permanent DNS configuration checks are extremely helpful. 100% delivery quote even with "difficult" recipients.
What needs improvement
Autoconfig for common mail clients.
vs Alternatives
I had thought about self-hosted Postfix+Exim, but these are ways too complicated to set up.

I have been using FranklyMail for about a week and it has been incredible. The price is great and it automatically can add all the necessary DNS records directly to Cloudflare. Unlimited domains and users is incredible. I highly recommend it.

I love FranklyMail. It’s powerful yet simple to use—one of the very few reasonably priced email hosting platforms. The UI is snappy, and everything just works.
vs Alternatives
Google WorkspaceOnly real alternative is PurelyMail, which is ok for the simplest cases. Beyond that, their "advanced pricing" is unnecessarily complex and FranklyMail seems to be more polished overall.
Other providers want $5/month per account, which is insane if all you need is e-mail.

I found Franklymail by accident. Everything started with a renowned European Webhosting company where I have some personal/family websites and emails running on a classic cPanel hosting. Unfortunately, they increase their prices every year and I saw that at the next yearly renewal in January 27, I'd have to pay 8 times what I paid initially, a few years ago. So, I decided to take a cheap bare metal VPS under Debian Linux and transformed it in a minimalist but powerful web server with Caddy and PHP - everything done on the CLI. Now, I'm moving one website after the other over.
Afterwards, and that's where things become interesting, I looked for a similarly lean and minimalist mailserver to run on the same VPS, but couldn't find one. But I found - guess what - Franklymail! I traded many working hours against $9/year and I'm still amazed. When I'll have moved all mail boxes over to Frankly, I'll have for sure to pay a few cents more for additional storage, but I'm more than ok with that, seen this lean and easy to install (almost click-to-run) mail service. Will also for sure recommend it around me.
Emin, thank you so much for your great work!
The no per-seat pricing is a refreshing approach for email hosting. I upvoted this. Supporting JMAP alongside IMAP and SMTP is also a nice touch for keeping things flexible.
