Additional costsSelf-hosting avoids the hosted subscription but shifts cost to your own server, database/queue services and LLM usage. Hosted tiers publish no email-volume or AI-usage allowances, so potential usage limits or extra-account pricing could not be verified.Lower tiers cap both connected mailboxes and selectable features; more than 4 email accounts requires contacting support.
