Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about pricing, trials, and billing.
Absolutely. You can upgrade your plan or add additional domains at any time directly from the billing dashboard. Prorated charges will be applied automatically.
All plans include a full-featured 7-day free trial. No credit card is required to sign up. You will only be billed if you choose to enter your payment details and subscribe after the trial ends.
Yes. While native filters in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace catch basic spam, they often struggle with advanced phishing, zero-day malware, and highly targeted Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks. MailShield acts as a specialized, dedicated layer of defense in front of your inbox, catching sophisticated threats that native filters miss while giving you much more granular policy control.
Absolutely. MailShield is a platform-agnostic Secure Email Gateway (SEG). Whether you use Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho Mail, or a self-hosted server, MailShield seamlessly integrates by simply routing your MX records through our filtering network before the mail ever reaches your actual server.
Security is our foundation. MailShield operates on a zero-trust network architecture with enterprise-grade 256-bit AES encryption for data at rest and enforced TLS 1.2+ in transit. We strictly comply with the Kenya Data Protection Act (KDPA) and GDPR, ensuring your data is never stored longer than necessary. Furthermore, all billing is handled via isolated PCI-DSS Level 1 processors. You can learn more in our Trust Center.
Yes. All prices displayed are inclusive of 16% VAT in compliance with Kenya tax regulations. Your monthly or annual tax invoices will clearly show the VAT breakdown.
The Compliance plan includes up to 5 domains at the base rate of $75/domain/month. Any additional domains (6+) receive a heavily discounted overage rate of just $20/domain/month.
If you cancel, your inbound mail flow filtering will stop at the end of your billing cycle. You will need to revert your MX records back to your primary mail server. Your audit logs and settings will be retained according to your plan's retention schedule before secure deletion.
Yes, we offer an Enterprise tier with SLAs, integration support, and offline billing arrangements. Please contact our sales team to discuss your specific requirements.
