How do I start the trial?
Choose Start free trial on this page, enter your email and card in checkout, then download MailVault and open it from the page that follows. You can also download first, open Settings → Billing and choose Yearly. The 14-day trial is for your first yearly subscription; if you have subscribed before with the same email, the trial is skipped and the yearly plan is charged right away.
When will I be charged?
The yearly subscription starts charging after the trial unless you cancel first. Monthly subscriptions are charged when you subscribe and do not include the yearly trial. Review the amount, payment details, and renewal date in checkout before confirming.
What happens to my price when early access ends?
MailVault is in early access. If you subscribe at today’s Early Bird & Family Pricing, your rate stays the same as long as your subscription is active, even after prices increase. The standard price after early access, $6/month or $39/year, applies to new subscribers.
Can I cancel anytime?
You keep access to your saved mail and Free features. Premium remains active until the end of your trial or paid period, then the app returns to Free. Cancel during the yearly trial to avoid the subscription charge.
Why pay for Premium?
Premium adds scheduled backups, snapshots, migration, cleanup, export, tracker blocking, and Hoarder, a download mode that keeps every folder's full history instead of a recent window. Your subscription also supports ongoing development and maintenance by our small team. The full mail client and manual archiving remain free.
Does Premium upload my email to MailVault?
Your archived email stays in your local vault. Premium billing uses an online service to manage your subscription and devices; it is separate from your stored messages. Read how we handle data.
What if I already installed MailVault?
Open the app and go to Settings → Billing. Choose Yearly for the trial, if eligible, or Monthly. You do not need to download the app again.
Can I keep using my backups if I stop paying?
Yes. Your local files and Free features remain available. Premium automation stops after the trial or paid period ends; your existing archives and backups are not deleted.
