Plans and what each limit means
What each plan includes, how the monthly limits are counted and what happens when you reach one.
6 minutes to read
Every plan can send email letters. A paid plan raises the limits and adds features. Paper letters are paid with credits on every plan, so they are not part of the monthly allowance.
Your own plan, and how much of it you have used this month, is on the Subscription page: Email letters this month, Files this month, File storage and your Paper letter credits.

What each limit means
Email letters per month
- A letter is counted when you send or schedule it, not when it is delivered. A letter that is scheduled is delivered whatever your plan is later
- One letter counts once, however many recipients it has
- The count starts again on the first day of each calendar month, not on the day you pay. The Subscription page shows the day as Next reset
- Letters you do not use are not carried over to the next month
- Deleting a letter that has reached no recipient gives its place back, as long as you delete it in the same month you created it
- Paper letters are not counted. They are paid with credits
Schedule ahead
How far ahead the delivery date can be, counted from today. The longest any plan allows for an email letter is 100 years. A paper letter can wait at most 5 years, or as far as your plan schedules if that is less.
The range is checked when you choose the date. A letter that is already scheduled, by email or on paper, keeps its date if you later move to a plan with a shorter range.
Files and storage
Files travel with an email letter and are uploaded at the moment you send or schedule it. A plan whose file rows are marked as not included has no attachments and no recordings.
- Largest file
- The size one file may have. No plan goes above 100 MB, which is the most the server takes in one upload.
- Files per letter
- How many files one letter can carry.
- Files per month
- How many files you can upload in a calendar month. It starts again on the first day of the month. Voice and video recordings are files and count too.
- File storage
- The size of all files you have stored together, in letters that wait and in letters that were delivered. Room comes back when you delete a file on the Files page, when you delete its letter, or when a file is removed 30 days after the link of its delivered letter has expired.
Voice and video recordings
The longest voice or video message you can record in the composer with Voice and Video. A recording is attached as a file, so it also needs a free place among your files and room in your storage.
Features that come with a plan
- Send anonymously
- The recipient does not see your name or your address. Plans that include it: Time Master Pro and Postmaster. A letter that was scheduled as anonymous stays anonymous.
- Email layouts
- The look of the notice email your recipient gets. Every plan has the standard layout. Plans with more layouts: Time Master Pro and Postmaster. The table shows which plan has the premium ones too.
- Priority delivery
- When more letters are due at the same moment than can be sent in one go, letters from plans with priority delivery go first. At any other time it makes no difference.
- Change a scheduled letter
- Edit an email letter that is still waiting for its delivery date. Plans that include it: Postmaster. On every plan you can delete a scheduled email letter and write it again, and you can correct an email letter that failed. A scheduled paper letter can be changed on every plan, until 1 hour before it is posted.
- Write with AI
- Describe the letter in a sentence or two and get a draft you can edit, for email and paper letters. Plans that include it: Postmaster.
- Paper letter credits included each month
- Credits that are added to your balance with every paid month: with the first payment and with each renewal. They are ordinary credits, so they do not expire and they stay if you change plan later. A change of plan in the middle of a paid month adds none. The first ones come with the next renewal.
When you reach a limit
Nothing is charged and nothing already scheduled is touched. The composer tells you which limit is in the way before the letter is saved.
| Limit | What you see | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Email letters per month | Under Letters this month the composer says that you have used all letters for this month. Email letters cannot be sent. | Wait for the reset day, choose a larger plan, or send a paper letter. |
| Schedule ahead | The date picker says how far your plan schedules and does not accept a later date. | Choose an earlier date, or choose a plan with a longer range. |
| Largest file | The file is marked in red with the size your plan allows. | Remove the file. A letter cannot be sent while a file is marked in red. |
| Files per letter | The composer says how many files your plan allows per letter. | Remove a file, or send the other files in a second letter. |
| Files per month | The composer says that you have used the files your plan allows this month. | Wait for the first day of the next month, or choose a larger plan. |
| File storage | The composer says that there is not enough room left in your file storage. | Delete files you no longer need on the Files page. |
| A feature your plan does not have | The composer shows Not included in your plan with a link to the plans. | Open See plans to see which plan includes it. |
Credits for paper letters
A paper letter costs one credit or more, on any plan. You buy credits in packs, they do not expire, and you do not need a paid plan to use them. Postmaster has its own pack prices.
- Buy credits for paper lettersWhere to buy credit packs, what they cost, how the payment works and where every credit is recorded.
- What a paper letter costs in creditsA paper letter is paid with credits. How many depends on the destination country and the delivery option, and the composer shows the price before you confirm.
Questions and answers
Can I change my plan at any time?
Yes. You change your plan on the Subscription page and cancel it on the Billing page, whenever you like.
What happens to scheduled letters if I move to a smaller plan?
They are still delivered. A letter is counted when you schedule it, and its delivery does not depend on the plan you have later. An email layout that the smaller plan does not include is replaced by the standard one.
How long can the recipient open an email letter?
For as long as you choose when you write it: 1 hour, 1 day, 5 days, 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year, counted from delivery. After that the link stops working, unless you extend it.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits stay on your account until you use them.
Are there any other fees?
No. You pay for your plan and for the credits you buy, nothing else. Prices are in US dollars, so your bank may convert the amount.
Is my payment safe?
Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
