Our verdict on GPG Suite

GPG Suite is a macOS software bundle for encrypting, decrypting, signing, and verifying emails, files, and folders. It is designed for people who rely on Apple Mail and need OpenPGP workflows alongside everyday Mac tools. The suite includes GPG Mail for Apple Mail, GPG Keychain for OpenPGP key management, GPG Services for macOS context-menu encryption, and MacGPG as its GnuPG-based cryptographic engine. It also supports PGP and S/MIME selection in Mail and can automatically decrypt and verify encrypted attachments.

Pricing is structured around the GPG Mail 7 Support Plan rather than a free tier. The plan includes regular GPG Mail 7 updates, hotfix releases, professional support, and coverage for one person using up to five personally owned computers. GPG Mail includes a 30-day trial, while continued use requires the support plan. This makes the product more suitable for individuals who expect to keep using GPG Mail than for buyers seeking a permanently free encryption tool.

Its strongest fit is the Apple Mail ecosystem: GPG Mail integrates with macOS Mail, while macOS Services adds encryption actions through the operating system. Beyond email, users can encrypt, decrypt, sign, and verify files and folders, create and manage OpenPGP keys, import keys from contacts and key servers, and work with encrypted attachments. The trade-off is narrow platform coverage, since GPG Suite supports macOS only. Mac users who want integrated Apple Mail encryption should consider it; people who need Windows, Linux, or broader cross-platform coverage should choose another product.
