Zero Tolerance

Accounts found sending spam, phishing emails, or engaging in deceptive outreach will be suspended immediately without warning and without refund of remaining credits. We reserve the right to report such activity to relevant authorities.

5. Credits and Billing

AlienMail operates on a pay-as-you-grow prepaid credit model. There are no mandatory monthly recurring retainers or seat fees. You purchase email credits in advance and spend them as you send.

5.1 Credits

A "Credit" is the fundamental unit of account on AlienMail. Currently, 1 outbound email sent = 1 credit. AlienMail reserves the right to introduce or adjust credit costs for optional or premium metered services by publishing updated consumption rates on the pricing page.

5.2 Rate Card

Recharge rates are tiered based on prepaid top-up spend. The canonical rates in Indian Rupees (INR) and US Dollars (USD) based on our ₹100 = $1 peg are:

  • Tier 1: ₹500 – ₹999 / $5 – $9 at ₹0.10 / $0.001 per credit (5,000 – 9,990 credits).
  • Tier 2: ₹1,000 – ₹4,999 / $10 – $49 at ₹0.06 / $0.0006 per credit (16,666 – 83,316 credits).
  • Tier 3: ₹5,000 – ₹24,999 / $50 – $249 at ₹0.04 / $0.0004 per credit (125,000 – 624,975 credits).
  • Tier 4: ₹25,000+ / $250+ at ₹0.03 / $0.0003 per credit (833,333+ credits).
