Fastmail Email

Fastmail free trial of up to 30 days, no credit card needed

Fastmail lets you test its email service free for up to 30 days, and sign-up does not ask for a card. It suits someone who wants to try one mailbox before paying, but trial accounts face a 120-message daily sending cap and cannot set up forwarding rules.

What you get

  • Up to 30 days of Fastmail, free at sign-up. The trial is described as "Try free for up to 30 days".[1]
  • After the trial, Individual (1 user, 60 GB total) costs $6 a month billed monthly, or $5 a month on a 12-month term ($60 total).[1]
  • Personal plans run from $6 a month (Individual) to $14 a month for Family, which covers up to 6 people. Business plans start at $4 per user a month (Basic, 6 GB per user).[1]
  • Trial accounts can send a maximum of 120 messages per day and can have up to five email addresses.[2]
  • Trial accounts cannot create websites, forwarding rules or custom Sieve rules, and they are not permitted to share files.[2]

Who qualifies and the limits

  • No credit card is required to sign up for a trial account. Fastmail may ask for a mobile phone number to send an SMS verification code.[2]
  • If no payment is made by the end of the trial, the account loses its ability to send and receive mail. It is later disabled and eventually deleted.[2]
  • Submitting payment ends the trial and starts the subscription period. You cannot change your plan during the trial period.[2]
  • Fastmail does not offer refunds for unused subscriptions, so the trial is the time to decide.[1]

How to claim it

  1. Open the Fastmail pricing page and choose the plan you want to test.
  2. Start the sign-up. The trial does not ask for a credit card.
  3. If Fastmail asks for a mobile number, enter it and type in the SMS verification code it sends.
  4. Use the account during the trial. Sending is capped at 120 messages a day, and forwarding rules are not available.
  5. To keep the account, submit payment before the trial period ends. Payment starts the subscription.

Our take

Worth a test if you want one mailbox and a clear exit point. The trial caps sending at 120 messages a day and blocks forwarding rules, so check those limits fit your use before the trial ends.

Fastmail deal: questions

Do I need a credit card for the Fastmail free trial?

No. Fastmail's help page says no credit card is required to sign up for a trial account. It may ask for a mobile phone number for an SMS code instead.

What happens when the Fastmail trial ends?

If you have not paid by the end of the trial, the account loses its ability to send and receive mail. Fastmail then disables it and eventually deletes it.

Is there a Fastmail promo code?

Fastmail's US pricing page lists no promo code. The only savings it shows are lower monthly rates on longer terms, such as Pay yearly and save $12 on Individual.

What does a personal Fastmail plan cost after the trial?

Individual costs $6 a month billed monthly or $5 a month on a 12-month term. It covers one user with 60 GB of total storage.
