Return on investment

What Driftwood Mail pays back

The fastest way to evaluate transactional email API pricing is to compare it to what it replaces, not to its list price. Customers consolidating multiple overlapping transactional email API tools usually find Driftwood Mail pays for itself in the first quarter — before any productivity gains.

Beyond consolidation, the second-order effects compound: faster onboarding for new hires, fewer hand-offs between teams, cleaner data flowing into the rest of your stack, and audit trails ready before security review asks. We document each of these in customer ROI reviews and would be happy to share the template before you decide.

What we don't do

The honest counter-list — things you won't have to negotiate around.

We don't do per-seat lock-in

Driftwood Mail prices on the metric that scales with value — never on the number of seats you add.

We don't charge for SSO

SAML and OIDC SSO are available on every paid plan, not gated behind an Enterprise upgrade.

We don't sell your data

Driftwood Mail is funded by customer revenue. There is no ad model, no aggregated-data resale, no data brokers.

We don't ship dark patterns

Cancellation is one click in the dashboard. Annual contracts can be cancelled and prorated, no email loops.

More pricing questions

How does Driftwood Mail billing work?

Driftwood Mail is usage-based: the free tier covers 10,000 emails per month, and paid plans are priced per additional thousand emails with no monthly platform fee. High-volume senders get committed-use discounts and a dedicated IP, quoted by sales.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a no-credit-card trial so developers and product teams sending application email at scale can evaluate Driftwood Mail before committing.

Can I change plans later?

Absolutely — upgrade, downgrade, or move to an annual contract at any time, and changes are prorated automatically.

Do you offer discounts?

We offer annual-commit discounts, a startup program, and discounted education / nonprofit pricing. Volume pricing for larger teams is quoted individually.

What happens if I exceed plan limits?

Driftwood Mail never cuts off your service. Overages are billed at published per-unit rates and you can set a hard spend cap.

Do you have an enterprise plan?

Yes. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, dedicated infrastructure, custom limits, and a 99.99% SLA. Pricing is quoted per company.

What it actually costs

Three real-world scenarios so you can ballpark Driftwood Mail for your team.

A 25-person team

On the Starter plan, a team this size typically pays around $0 up to 10k emails and stays well within the included usage. Most teams stay on Starter for 6–12 months before upgrading.

A 200-person mid-market

Most mid-market customers move to Advanced for SSO, advanced reporting, and the integrations beyond Node SDK. Annual commits include a 15% discount.

A regulated enterprise

Enterprise pricing is quoted per company. It adds dedicated infrastructure, audit logs/SIEM export, data residency, and a 99.99% SLA — see the comparison above.

No fine print
