Why it's fair
The price is honest because the deal is.
Pay once, never monthly
No subscription and no renewal. A completed Lifetime purchase is never revoked by later price or plan changes — the $79 you pay is the last you pay.
Your data, your storage
Every .eml lands in the cloud account you own. If you ever leave, your whole archive stays exactly where it is — there's nothing to export and no lock-in.
A format that outlives us
The original RFC 822 message, never re-encoded. It opens in Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or a plain text editor — today or in twenty years.
Try it before you pay
The Free plan needs no credit card. Connect your storage, get your address, and archive your most important mailbox for $0 before deciding.
Changed your mind after buying Lifetime? Email [email protected]. Your statutory refund and withdrawal rights always apply, and a refunded purchase simply reverts the account to Free.
Pricing FAQ
Questions about the money.
Is Lifetime really a one-time payment?
Yes. Lifetime is a single $79 payment — no subscription, no renewal, and no per-email fees. You pay once and keep archiving. Prices and plan limits may change over time, but a completed Lifetime purchase is never retroactively revoked.
What happens when I reach the Free plan's monthly limit?
The Free plan archives 100 emails per calendar month, and the allowance resets on the 1st. Email that arrives after you've used it up is listed in your dashboard as skipped rather than archived, and stays recoverable for 60 days — retry it once the allowance resets, or upgrade to Lifetime and it is backed up automatically.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The Free plan requires no card. Connect your storage, get your unique inbound address, and start archiving your most important mailbox for $0. Upgrade only if and when you want unlimited archiving.
Where are the emails stored, and does that cost extra?
Every email goes to a cloud storage account you own — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or any S3-compatible bucket. InboxBucket never charges for storage; whatever your provider bills for the space you use is between you and them, and most email archives are small.
Can I upgrade later, and what if I change my mind?
Upgrade to Lifetime anytime from your dashboard — and any email skipped in the last 60 days is archived automatically when you do. If a Lifetime payment is ever refunded, the account simply reverts to the Free plan.
Do you offer refunds?
If InboxBucket isn't what you expected, email [email protected]. Statutory refund and withdrawal rights that apply to you are always honored, and a refunded purchase reverts the account to the Free plan.
