Typewire review
Affordable Canadian private email with encrypted storage, domains, aliases and calendar tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Typewire is a paid private email service for individuals, families, businesses and teams. It combines responsive webmail with zero-access encrypted storage, custom email domains, aliases, spam and phishing filtering, user-defined filters, a calendar and mobile apps for Android and iOS. The service operates infrastructure in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is designed for users who want Canadian data residency alongside private email features.
Pricing covers several use cases. A Starter account begins at 1 CAD per month, and there is a 7-day free trial. Premium is listed at 9.89 CAD per user per month or 106.80 CAD per user on an annual plan, with 200 GB per user, unlimited users, IMAP/SMTP access, 50 aliases per user, five custom domains, calendar access and user management. Family costs 18.99 CAD per month or 205.08 CAD per plan annually, supporting six accounts, 50 GB per user, five aliases per user, one custom domain, IMAP/SMTP access and calendar access. Additional annual pricing options are also listed for both plan names.
Typewire’s strongest fit is privacy-focused email that still works with standard mail clients and supports custom domains. Zero-access storage, Canadian hosting, filtering controls and user management give it a practical scope for households and small teams, while web, mobile and calendar access cover everyday communication needs. The trade-off is a narrower ecosystem: the listed integration path is primarily IMAP and SMTP rather than a broad suite of connected services. Choose Typewire if Canadian hosting, encrypted storage and domain support matter more than extensive integrations or a free tier; consider another provider if those broader ecosystem requirements are central.
