Hosted Pricing And Terms

This is the public-facing page for hosted email-to-telegram pricing and commercial terms. It is an operator/product draft, not legal advice.

Status: Hosted is in donation-only beta. There is no live billing, no paid plans, and no self-serve upgrade flow. Any structured paid plan (“Personal” / “Pro” / “Team” / “Business”) referenced in older drafts is not in effect. The only ways to support hosted today are donations and personal arrangements (see below).

Self-Hosting

The project is MIT-licensed. Self-hosting is free, well-documented, and the recommended path for serious or high-volume use. See the repository README for setup.

Hosted Today

Hosted is a single free tier for everyone, supported by donations.

One inbound shared domain (operator-managed).
Soft daily abuse-prevention rate limit: 10 alias creation attempts per Telegram user per day.
No automated billing, no per-plan caps. Reasonable use is welcome; bulk, marketing, or shared-domain-reputation-risky use is not — see acceptable-use.md.
Self-serve account wipe (/delete_me) and data export (/export_me) are live — see privacy-and-data-requests.md.

Donations

If hosted is useful to you, donations help cover the operator’s infrastructure costs:

In the bot: /donate

Donations are not a subscription, do not unlock additional limits, and do not create a contractual relationship.

Custom Arrangements

For anything that goes beyond the casual free tier — higher volume, a custom inbound domain, specific availability requirements, a formal data-processing addendum — reach out personally and we will discuss what is realistic:

Email: vladyslavkarpenko3@gmail.com

These are handled case-by-case during beta. There is no Stripe checkout, no self-serve plan upgrade, and no published price list.

Future Paid Plans

Structured paid plans with self-serve checkout, customer portal, automated billing, tax handling, and refund flows are a future direction — not a present offering. They will be announced when the operator entity, payment provider, and tax setup are in place. Until then, all paid-style arrangements happen through the Custom Arrangements path above.

Data And Abuse

Hosted data export, erasure, abuse handling, and shared-domain reputation controls are described in:
