Pricing
The app is free. Pay only for AI.
Saymail costs nothing to install and nothing to keep. The only thing you can spend money on is the AI that reads your inbox - and only if you would rather use ours than your own.
The email client is free. Only the AI has a price.
Always free
- Every account and every folder - IMAP, Gmail, Outlook
- Reading, writing, sending, searching

Every install starts with 50 AI credits. You get 20 more every week with regular use, once a Gmail or Outlook mailbox is connected. Your balance is in the app under status, any time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Saymail really free?
Yes. The email client has no time limit, needs no account and asks for no card - it is not a limited version that expires. Every account, folder, rule, profile, theme and future update is included. The only thing money buys is AI: our credits, a one-time unlock for your own AI key, or the Cloud Sync subscription. The AI is the separate thing: it runs on the free credits every install starts with, or on your own AI key, or on a local model.
What is a credit, and how many do I get?
One credit pays for one AI request: scoring one email, one translation, one suggested draft. If the request fails, the credit comes straight back. Every install starts with 50 credits, and 20 more arrive every week with regular use, once a Gmail or Outlook mailbox is connected. Credits do not expire, and your balance is in the app under status.
Can I use my own AI instead of paying for credits?
Yes. The one-time bring-your-own-AI unlock lets you connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or OpenRouter key, or a model running locally on your machine through Ollama. After that, AI costs you nothing through us - you pay your provider directly, or nothing at all for a local model. The unlock deliberately includes no credits: it replaces them.
What does Cloud Sync actually sync?
What the AI has learned: importance scores and classifications, your prompts, its notes on senders and accounts, and translations. It never syncs your emails, your passwords or your address book - those stay where they already are. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, so we hold ciphertext we cannot read. You pair a device with a QR code or a 24-word recovery phrase.
How do I buy and redeem credits?
Credit packs are bought inside the app, through Google Play, and land in your balance directly with no code to redeem. If you still hold a code from an earlier purchase, the redeem page is still there: open Saymail, go to Settings and Licensing, and paste it under "Redeem credit code".
How many devices can I use?
The free app installs on as many machines as you like. A bring-your-own-AI licence covers 5 activations, and you can deactivate a device you no longer use. A Cloud Sync subscription covers every device you pair with it.
What is the refund policy?
Because the app itself is free, you can be certain it suits you before spending anything. If a purchase still turns out not to be what you expected, we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee.
