The pattern
Per-seat pricing only moves one direction
Every hike lands the same way: an email announcing that the tools you already pay for now cost more, bundled with features you didn’t ask for. The frustration isn’t just the number — it’s that someone else keeps deciding what you pay for. When email is the only thing your team actually uses, the suite is rent, not infrastructure.
Why $2 doesn’t creep
Price-as-math: we own the mailbox infrastructure and only build email, so there’s no suite to fund and no AI surcharge roadmap for your bill to absorb. Per-inbox pricing passes that structure through — and if it ever stops working for you, your mail is standard IMAP on your own domain: repoint and go.
