AFAIK they’re the only decent email provider that offers a free account that allows a custom domain. I use the $1/month mail lite plan. It’s nice to have an option that doesn’t cost as much as Microsoft and Google for people that want email on a custom domain, but don’t need all the cruft (drive, apps, etc).

Google workspaces in India costs 125 rupees a month. That's around $1.5. Use a VPN + an international debit card (or wise.com) to pay Google in rupees? Is there a real downside to this?

Remember, if Google blocks you they'll likely block your personal accounts too.

Profit margins are impressive too: https://inc42.com/buzz/zoho-clocks-inr-5229-cr-in-sales-prof...

These guys seem to do it all and for a fraction of the price. They’re playing a completely different game than the popular Enterprise SaaS players. Surprised they don’t get more press. Probably because they don’t have investors.

He means a tech product company. Most other billion dollar Indian tech companies are in the IT outsourcing business.

Why about the likes of Paytm or Flipkart?

Different industries - PayTM is mainly into finance while Flipkart (now owned by Walmart) is into online retail. (Though both also dabble in each others field). Just because they use tech, doesn't make them a software company.

I work at inbox.eu.

You can use it for free if you are ok with sending max 3 emails per day. You need to verify mobile phone or verify account via Telegram for free acounts. Also 9.99 EUR per year for premium account is one of the lowest prices available in the market from professional email providers :)

Migadu is another awesome email solution. For my family and myself, we're on the "Micro" plan which works out to be 1.5 USD per month (but paid yearly). For smaller organizations and projects, we're on the "Mini" plan which is 9 USD per month. Super cheap, very reliable and easy to setup. Never had any issues in the years I've been using it. I'm not associated with them, just a happy user that wishes them all the bes…

Charged per (Migadu) account, too - not per user. Seems like you can have basically unlimited users/domains per account, which is nice.

Not being able to spawn random addresses (payments@, contact@) without paying really turns me off a lot of other providers.

Yandex offers a custom domain too

I have not had good integration experiences with Apple Mail. Their service doesn't support mail push last time I checked, so you end up waiting 15 minutes or so for messages whenever Apple Mail decides to poll IMAP

If you mean using Zoho from Apple Mail app, you need to use active sync server at Zoho. THen you get push.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for!
