Email sending prices: free plans and first paid plans

What each email sending service gives for free and what its first paid plan costs for how many emails, each read from its own pricing page.

16 services, 32 facts. Every value links to the page that states it and is kept only while that page still says it: each source is re-read daily (last on 2026-10-30). A missing cell means no page we could verify states it.

Every day the page is fetched again; when the words are gone, the fact is marked for re-verification and every article citing it is sent for a refresh. Amounts are as the source states them.
