Our verdict on MailRift

MailRift hosts email on a domain you already own, combining custom-domain mailboxes with webmail, calendars, contacts, forwarding, routing rules, and team sharing. It suits small and growing teams that want hosted mail priced per domain rather than per user, with support for web, iOS, Android, and API access. Guided MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup can reduce DNS configuration work, while threaded conversations, folders, search, and rich composing cover everyday webmail needs. Each mailbox also supports unlimited plus-address aliases.

Pricing starts with Starter at CHF 4.90 per domain per month. It includes 5 mailboxes, 5 GB storage, 300 sends per month, 3 routing rules, 1 forwarding address per mailbox, and sharing with 3 people. Plus costs CHF 9.90 monthly and raises capacity to 20 mailboxes and 20 GB storage, with 1,000 sends per month, 1 webhook per mailbox, MCP server access, and open tracking. Pro costs CHF 29 monthly and includes 100 mailboxes, 100 GB storage, 10,000 sends per month, 3 webhooks per mailbox, a REST API, and account API access. Annual billing is about 16% less across these tiers. Enterprise adds a dedicated tenant, unlimited domains, SMTP and IMAPS access, company SSO, custom data residency, and a custom SLA.

MailRift fits teams that value mailbox sharing, routing controls, mobile access, and a path to automation. Its ecosystem includes Amazon SES, Google OAuth, Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf, while higher plans expose REST, webhook, and MCP capabilities. AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS in transit are included, and the service states that data is hosted in Germany and processed under GDPR requirements. Teams needing straightforward IMAP or SMTP access on an entry plan, or those seeking a free ongoing plan, should consider an alternative.
