Other providers offer a "free tier" that doesn't actually let you have the full experience: severely limited storage, no features, no support whatsoever. We offer a trial where you can utilize EVERY feature and get the full experience.

So what if your "free" email provider sends a bunch of spam and ads to your inbox? You can just delete them, right? It's not that simple. Your email provider sold your personal data so that someone could target you. Also, email ads are FULL of trackers, spyware, and other ways to monitor you.

Why trust us with your email and your data? It's an extremely valid question. First, we're one of the first fully private email services, and have been in business for over a decade. More importantly, we were made to serve YOU, not shareholders or advertisers.

When our subscribers are our sole source of revenue, our only priority is keeping you safe and satisfied. We don't have VC backers or shareholders to please, no quarterly projections to meet at all costs. This is why our customers stick around!

So why are we so obsessed with users' privacy? Our right to privacy is a lynch pin to protecting so many more of our human rights. You can't have freedom of thought or expression if you don't get to choose which aspects of your life stay private.

Now that tech giants are trying to force AI on all of us, expect a whole new crop of half truths and whole lies about these new AI agents and why we should use them. Don't fall for it! AI agents are unpredictable and have already caused hundreds of leaks and security incidents!

How does our private email service actually work? Every StartMail user has their own encrypted vault on our owned and operated servers. No one (and we mean NO ONE) can access any of the data in your vault until you log in...not even us!

Thousands of happy customers can't be wrong, can they? StartMail has what you need: world class encryption, intuitive design, easy migration, powerful features, real human support...and nothing that you don't: spam, ads, cumbersome membership tiers, or shareholders.

Our only revenue comes from you, the subscriber. We've built our entire business model around keeping our users secure and happy, so why not give it a try for yourself?

When other email providers advertise end-to-end encryption, they're only talking about messages sent to OTHER people with encrypted email. So what happens when you need to send an encrypted message to someone without a private email account? We have a feature for that!
