01.Evaluation guide

Who it suits

Senders who want inbound routing included from the free plan up, and who treat the message log as a debugging tool rather than a record.

Consider something else if…

One day of log retention on the entry plan is the shortest here by a wide margin, and the overage rate is quoted as "from", so the number you plan against is a floor.
