Paid plans start at €3/mo.
Fastmail starts at €3 per user/month on a 12-month plan: that is the Basic business plan. Individual personal email costs €5 per month with 12-month billing, or €6 monthly. The pricing page lists a trial of up to 30 days and 24- and 36-month options, but the published prices cover monthly and 12-month billing. Check storage before choosing: plans range from 6 GB per business user to 150 GB, and extra storage costs are not published.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Annual billing changes the price
Listed 12-month rates are lower than monthly rates. The published pricing does not give prices for the listed 24- or 36-month options.
Business plans charge per user
Basic, Standard and Professional prices are per user per month, so the total depends on how many accounts you need.
Storage is plan-limited
Business storage ranges from 6 GB per user on Basic to 150 GB on Professional. Extra storage is available, but its price is not published.
Personal and business differ
Individual, Duo and Family have separate prices and storage allowances from the business plans. Compare the right group before budgeting.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |

| One person needing personal email | Individual | It includes 60 GB total storage, custom addresses with your domains, and 50 GB for mail, calendar and contacts. |
| A business watching storage | Basic | It is the lowest-priced business option, with 6 GB total storage per user and shared email addresses and calendars. |
| A business needing retention | Professional | It includes a 150 GB per-user allowance and an email retention archive for legal compliance. |
04Is Fastmail worth the money?
Fastmail is a paid alternative to Gmail with email, calendar and contacts, plus features such as offline access, Masked Email and scheduled send. The pricing page lists six plans, so the main decision is whether you need personal or business accounts and how much storage each user needs. The €3 starting rate is a per-user business price on 12-month billing, not the personal plan price. Extra storage is available, but its cost is not published; check that before switching.
Fastmail pricing FAQ
Is there a Fastmail app?
The published product details do not confirm whether Fastmail has an app or list supported platforms. They do describe offline access for reading, drafting, searching and managing mail, calendar and contacts. Check Fastmail’s current product information for app availability before choosing it.
How much does a Gmail email cost?
The published pricing information covers Fastmail, not Gmail or Google Workspace, so it does not establish Gmail’s price. Fastmail’s listed plans start at €3 per user/month for Basic with 12-month billing; its Individual plan is €5 per month on the same billing term.
Is there a problem with Fastmail?
The published information does not report an outage, reliability issue or current service problem, so we can’t confirm one. It does describe Fastmail as a paid email service and lists plan limits. For current incidents, check Fastmail’s service-status information before switching.
How much does email hosting cost in South Africa?
The published Fastmail prices are in euros, and no South African price or currency conversion is published here. Fastmail’s lowest listed rate is €3 per user/month for Basic with 12-month billing; monthly billing for that plan is €4 per user.
