Thank you for sharing your feedback. We really value hearing from you, and your experience with us is important to us.
The difference between the current pricing and the older pricing (from around 2017 for most users) is about $1 per month. If you are currently subscribed to certain older plans, you may see a greater increase, as these plans have gone even longer without a price increase. If this is the case, we've included a discount for your next renewal, which can be applied to any subscription duration, including our 3-year subscription.
We understand that price changes can be challenging, and we want to assure you that these decisions aren't made lightly. This update helps us continue providing a reliable email service without relying on advertising to you or selling your data. It also supports our contributions to open standards and the development of new features.
We aim to reply to urgent tickets within an hour, and we generally respond to all tickets within a few hours. If this isn't what you have experienced, please let us know at [email protected] so we can look into what happened!
We strongly believe that your data belongs to you. Your mail, calendars, and contacts are stored in open formats and can be downloaded or backed up using any number of standard tools. We provide a guide to download all of your data: https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/360060590573-Download-all-your-data. Should you ultimately decide to switch to another provider, and would like assistance with migrating, our support team is happy to help.
We hope you'll stay with us, but whatever you decide, we want to make sure you have a positive experience. We're grateful for the time you've been with Fastmail.
