Tuta review

Tuta combines encrypted email, calendars and contacts in one privacy-focused service. Its homepage highlights end-to-end encryption using post-quantum cryptography, ad-free apps and hosting powered by renewable energy. Tuta also says its clients are open source and can be audited.

The free plan is a basic personal mailbox: the pricing page lists 1 GB of storage, one calendar, three labels and one user. Paid personal plans add storage, calendars, labels and custom-domain support. Business plans use per-user pricing.

Tuta is a possible alternative if you want email and calendar under one provider, rather than just a private mailbox. But moving your email is a bigger decision than comparing encryption claims. Reddit users have reported account-access problems, including cases involving paid accounts, so consider keeping critical addresses elsewhere until you are comfortable with how account recovery works.

Tuta’s appeal is the combination of privacy features and a free tier. The service covers email, calendars and contacts, and its homepage says it uses end-to-end, post-quantum encryption. It also promotes private push reminders and email invitations for its encrypted calendar. Tuta says its clients are open source, and that it does not use tracking or personalized ads.

The free plan is useful for trying the service without a subscription: it includes 1 GB of storage, one calendar, three labels and one user, according to the pricing page. For a personal account with a custom domain, Revolutionary costs €3 per month when billed yearly, or €3.60 billed monthly. That plan lists 20 GB, unlimited calendars and labels, 15 extra email addresses and three custom domains.

For more storage, Legend lists 500 GB, 30 extra email addresses and 10 custom domains. Its annual-billing equivalent is €8 per month; monthly billing is €9.60. Tuta also offers calendar and contacts alongside email, which may suit people trying to consolidate private communications without paying for a larger productivity suite.

Account access is the concern to weigh before moving important mail. In one Reddit thread, a paid user said an account was deactivated after an anti-abuse review; the poster later reported that support explained the issue and resolved it. Other Reddit users describe lockouts or rejected recovery details. These are individual reports, not evidence of how often it happens, but they are relevant if you plan to move banking, health or work accounts.

The plans also have specific caps. Free includes just 1 GB, one calendar and three labels. Revolutionary lists 20 GB and 15 extra email addresses; Legend raises that to 500 GB and 30 extra addresses. While Tuta’s feature description mentions unlimited aliases, the plan details list finite extra-address allowances, so check how your intended aliases are counted before switching. Business Essential starts at €6 per user per month with annual billing and lists 50 GB per user; Advanced is €8 per user per month annually, but the published pricing details do not specify its storage or other inclusions. Priority email support is listed for Legend, not the lower personal tier.

Tuta has a free plan with 1 GB of storage, one calendar, three labels, and one user. Revolutionary costs €3.60 per month, or €3 per month when billed yearly. It adds 20 GB, unlimited calendars and labels, 15 extra email addresses, and three custom domains.

Legend is the next personal tier: €9.60 monthly or €8 per month on annual billing. The price jump buys 500 GB, 30 extra addresses, 10 custom domains, and priority email support. For business, Essential costs €7.20 monthly or €6 per user per month yearly; additional seats are €6 per user monthly on annual billing. Advanced is listed at €9.60 monthly or €8 yearly per user, but its inclusions are not published here beyond per-user pricing.

Family options cost €3 or €8 per user monthly, depending on tier. Shared mailboxes cost €3 or €8 monthly. Annual prices are per-month equivalents billed yearly, not monthly payment prices.

The available product information does not specify how much of your existing mail, calendar, or contacts you can import, or what export options Tuta provides. We would confirm those details before moving a primary inbox; encrypted services can have different migration paths from standard email, but the published sources do not document Tuta’s process.

Tuta says its clients are open source, and its service includes encrypted email, calendars, and contacts. That describes the product, not how easily you can take your data elsewhere. Custom domains are supported on paid plans, but the published pricing details do not explain domain-transfer steps or whether existing aliases can be moved.

Our verdict flags account-access complaints as a reason to think carefully before moving critical email. No Reddit posts or comments were included in the published material, so we can’t verify what users report as reasons for leaving. Check account recovery and data export options directly before switching.
