How much does Folio cost?

Solo is $3.50/month or $2.99/month annually (up to 3 domains, 1,000 sends a month). Studio is $15/month or $12/month annually (up to 10 domains, 6,000 sends a month). Holding Co. is $39/month or $29/month annually (unlimited domains, 30,000 sends a month) for operators who want priority support and onboarding.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The first 100 sends and the first domain are free without a card. Paid plans offer a 14-day card-required trial that does not charge until the trial ends.

Open /app/billing, click Manage subscription. The Stripe customer portal handles cancellation; service continues through the end of the paid period.

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-period?

Cancellations stop future billing but do not retroactively refund the current period. Annual plans cancelled mid-term keep service through the paid year.

Can I move between plans?

Yes. Upgrades are prorated to the day; downgrades take effect at the next renewal so you keep the higher tier through what you have already paid for.

The subscription

Folio bills per operator, not per mailbox. Solo is $3.50 monthly or $2.99/mo annually (up to 3 domains, 1,000 sends a month); Studio is $15/mo or $12/mo annually (up to 10 domains, 6,000 sends a month); Holding Co. is $39/mo or $29/mo annually (unlimited domains, 30,000 sends a month, priority support, and onboarding). Plans scale by how many businesses you run and how much you send. All plans are managed through Stripe — the portal at /app/billing handles upgrades, downgrades, and cancellation without a support ticket.

Fourteen free days. Two cadences. Cancel in one click through the Stripe portal.

You start on a fourteen-day trial, charged nothing. Domains can be added, letters sent and received, identities configured. At day fifteen, pick a cadence — monthly or annual — and a card.

§ The two cadences

Monthly: $3.50 per month. Billed each month. No commitment.
Annual: $35.88 once a year — $2.99 a month, or two months gratis.

§ The Stripe portal

Every billing action — changing card, downloading an invoice, switching cadence, cancelling — happens in the hosted Stripe portal. Access it from /app/billing. We never hold your card number; Stripe does, on their side, in their vault.

§ Cancelling

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Your letters are not deleted on cancellation — the inbox remains readable, you simply cannot send until you resubscribe. Receive-only continues indefinitely; no clock starts on your archive.

We will not hold your archive hostage. Your letters are yours.
