I was wondering about these guys. Seems too small to early stage. It says Beta. Feels like a one person operation though maybe I am wrong. Also web traffic is really low though maybe it is because they do not use trackers.
Happy to here any insights.
It is a one person operation but it is very stable, I have not had any issues during the 4 years. I had some questions when I signed up and they were answered quickly (within few hours). The 'Beta' sign has been there always, in my opinion it doesn't mean anything. The is a news page, https://news.purelymail.com/ and there are about 5 'items' (mostly some disturbances) per year since 2020. There is a 'free trial' so you have nothing to lose :)
Unfortunately all the volume-based email providers I know (Purely, MXroute, Migadu) are one or two-person operations. Doesn't stop them from being excellent, of course.
I wish the volume-based pricing model was more popular but unfortunately very few people know about it, and is course the large providers prefer to charge by account or add all kinds of artificial limitations because they make much more money that way. Having multiple mailboxes for the same domain costs the provider nothing and yet you get charged per mailbox.
Thanks.
