Hi,

Fastmail is testing new pricing schemes with some very nice plans.

Looks like they want to change their whole billing system to Paddle so that it's possible to deal with international currencies.

When clicking a new account you can choose those new plans. And even get a 10% discount.

Examples: - Family: When paying $11/month for yearly subscription you get 6 accounts (30GB each) and all the features from actual standard plan - Duo: When paying $8/month for yearly subscription you get 2 accounts (30GB each) and all the features from actual standard plan

The full comparison is included within the screenshots.

Hopefully these plans will soon be available for existing users too. They're currently only available for newly registered users.

    Right on time, I just got an email from Google Workspace that they are rising prices

    Fastmail is great. I use them for pretty much all of my mail. A bit perplexed about why this is only for new accounts. Maybe they’re gathering data on how people use the offerings before potentially losing customers by messing with existing ones. I also get the vibe that they’re targeting the average person more than normal, specially with the Spotify-like subscription terminology used.

    Where are these new plans shown? Only after you start signing up for an account? Seems like a great deal to me. I'm pretty heavy in the Google ecosystem, but being able to use my own domain would be nice.

    $11/mo for 6 users? That's actually a pretty good deal
