Hypertide

$3.30/inbox/mo API

Why it comes up: Google inboxes at $3.30 with no package minimum.

Stands out: Flat $3.30 per Google inbox, no packages, plus Entra domains at $25 with 25 inboxes included.

Watch out: No free trial. Entra is the volume SKU; Google is per inbox. Month-to-month, cancel in the app.

Best for

Agencies buying Entra domains at $25 for 25 inboxes
Senders exporting over OAuth or SMTP to Instantly or Smartlead

Watch out: No free trial. The $3 figure is monthly SMTP; annual SMTP is $2.60. Dedicated IPs start at $200 per server per month.
