Pricing FAQ
Answers to the most common billing, trial, refund, and security questions for Temp Postal Free, Premium, and Business plans.
Can I change plans anytime?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at any time. Changes take effect immediately and billing is pro-rated so you never pay for days you didn't use.
Is there a free trial for Premium or Business?
The Free plan is unlimited in time, so you can evaluate Temp Postal before paying. Paid plans are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, and Business buyers can request a live demo from sales@temppostal.com.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal via Paddle. Enterprise customers can pay by invoice or bank transfer.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. Every paid plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email help@temppostal.com and we'll process the refund without questions.
Is my data secure and private?
Inboxes are encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest, isolated per session, and purged automatically when they expire. Temp Postal is built to align with GDPR and CCPA principles.
Do you offer annual or volume discounts?
Yes. Monthly billing is what you can self-serve today. Annual billing and volume pricing for API-heavy Business accounts are arranged manually - email sales@temppostal.com and we will issue a quote and invoice.
Do I need a paid plan to receive email?
No. Receiving and reading messages is free and needs no account. Paid plans exist for longer retention, multiple simultaneous inboxes, custom domains and API access.
Can I cancel a subscription at any time?
Yes. Cancel from the account area and the subscription stops renewing. You keep paid features until the end of the period you have already paid for.
What happens to my inboxes if I downgrade?
Existing messages keep the retention they were created with until they expire, and new inboxes follow the limits of your new plan. Concurrent inbox slots above the new limit stop accepting new addresses once the current ones expire.
Which plan includes API access?
The Business tier. It covers programmatic inbox creation, message reading, webhooks and the higher rate limits that automated test suites need.
Is there a refund if the service does not fit?
Refund eligibility is set out in the refund policy and requests are processed through the merchant of record that issued your invoice. Contact support with the subscription email address and the invoice reference.
Quick answer
Which Temp Postal plan do you actually need?
- Free covers one-off signups and verification codes completely
- Premium is about time and quantity: longer retention, several inboxes, no ads
- Business is about control: custom domains, API access and higher rate limits
- Billing runs through a merchant of record, so invoices and VAT handling are included
What you are actually paying for
The free tier is not a demo. It generates real addresses on real receiving infrastructure, delivers real mail and shows the full message body, including attachments. If your use is a handful of signups a month, upgrading buys you nothing you will notice.
Premium sells time and parallelism. A longer retention window means a verification link is still there tomorrow morning rather than gone by lunchtime, and multiple concurrent inboxes mean you can hold one address per service instead of recycling a single one. The removal of ads matters most to people who keep the inbox open on a second screen all day.
Business sells control. Custom domains sidestep the public disposable blocklists that cause rejected signups, the REST API lets you create inboxes and read messages from a test suite, and the higher rate limits make automated flows practical rather than theoretical.
Deciding without guessing
If you are testing whether a signup form works, stay free. If you are testing a product's whole onboarding sequence, including day-three and day-seven emails, the retention window is what forces the upgrade, not the feature list.
If a specific service keeps rejecting your address, no amount of retention will help. That is a domain reputation problem and the fix is a custom domain, which sits on the Business tier.
If your usage is automated, count requests before choosing. Rate limits, not price, are what break a CI pipeline at three in the morning, and it is cheaper to size the plan correctly than to debug intermittent test failures caused by throttling.
Billing, invoices and cancellation
Payments are handled by a merchant of record, which means the invoice you receive comes from the payment processor and includes the tax treatment for your country. That is also why refunds are confirmed by us and executed there.
Subscriptions renew until cancelled and can be cancelled at any time from the account area. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not delete your account or your inboxes immediately, and access continues to the end of the paid period.
Upgrading mid-cycle applies the new limits immediately and prorates the difference. Downgrading applies at the end of the current period so you keep what you have already paid for.
What no plan changes
Every tier is receive-only, and every tier deletes messages when the retention window closes. A longer window is still a window, and expiry is permanent on every plan.
No tier makes a third-party website accept a disposable address. Custom domains change the odds substantially because the domain is yours and is not on public blocklists, but the receiving service always has the final say.
Support answers questions on every tier, including free. Paid plans change priority, not eligibility, and abuse reports are handled regardless of whether you have ever paid anything.
