Comparisons

How Shipmail compares.

Side-by-side breakdowns of pricing, shared inboxes, and features against the email tools small teams usually consider.

Most email host pricing pages compare per-seat costs without listing what each seat actually includes. Two providers can both charge $5/month, but one gives you a single mailbox while the other includes shared inbox, API access, and unlimited team members. The headline price hides the real value.

Each comparison below puts Shipmail next to one alternative across the features that matter for small teams: flat-rate vs per-user pricing, unified inbox across multiple addresses, shared inbox for support@/hello@/billing@, API and webhooks for product integrations, and migration friction if you need to switch later. We update verified pricing every quarter so the numbers reflect what you actually pay today, not last year's plan structure.

Pick the comparison that matches what you are evaluating. If you are weighing full-suite providers against email-only hosts, start with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. If your team specifically needs shared inbox tooling, see Missive or Front. For privacy-first or developer-leaning options, see Proton Mail and Migadu.
