https://500mail.com - your opinion.
Hello community,
I wanted to know if you knew https://500mail.com?
What is your opinion about this company?
Do you know how long they have been in business?
I currently use GSuite Free for my family with seven email accounts.
I would like to migrate to https://500mail.com .
Thanks in advance to the people who will answer me.

The end is nigh.
Congrats on your first post since November 2017
I'd stick to well known providers such as mailbox.org, fastmail, zohomail, mxroute etc
In 2019, it was a deleted domain. On December 2, 2021 is became a "Coming Soon" website. It looks like their service just started on Jan 11, 2022 so it's only 20 days old.
A quick startup that suddenly appeared when Google announced the death of G Suite Legacy? Could be smart marketing, but longevity is a concern.
They're hosted on Amazon Cloudfront. If enough 15gb free accounts migrate, it will make that Amazon hosting bill very expensive, very quickly. Without any paid signups to their $14.99/mth unlimited ($119.88/yr) plan, I would be worried.
Regarding opinions, since they're so new, I don't see how anyone could have one.

@BlueSquares what makes you think they store data on CloudFront? It's probably just a CDN for the site itself, not email storage.
where did you got this captures?
Internet wayback machine A.K.A. archive.org
Probably sub-brand for an older company: https://500apps.com/
Their Twitter account got suspended!
Move to YandexMail and you'll not regret, I'm using it for one of my domains since 2016 and have had no issues so far.
anyways $15/m/user is damn expensive.
They have downsized their free offering but it’s still a good service. Otherwise I recommend mxroute through a reseller like nexus bytes or webhorizon
https://www.migadu.com/ is pretty cheap yearly, and they seem to have a reasonable business model.
That's what it looks like. They're legit. I've been using 500apps for several months now, they have different domain names for each offer but it's one membership that gives you access to a whole bunch of services.
Too too less on sending volume.
Good point. I used https://hostingchecker.com/ to find where they were hosting.
Yeah that's not accurate.
Have you migrated? If so, how is the email platform?
By all signs, the OP is long gone: he was never interested in any of the reactions
I predict given the Free Legacy Gsuite being killed by Google, we will see a plethora of dubious services being presented to rescure users who want to move out of Gsuite/Workspace only to realise in a few months how sh*tty the service is and how many just run away after selling you annual subscriptions
for a standard plan, 6 usd/m is too much for 30GB only. is there a discount for gsuite? if it
has gone with 3 USD/m, I will prefer continue with them.
iirc it's free until July, and they'll give you 50% off for an extra 12 months.
yandex mail is the way to go, 1k accounts, 10gb per account, what else could you want?
Someone mentioned LarkSuite, I have tried and it's very good Google WorkSpace alternative.
Their webmail and email app (Windows/iOS/Android) are simple, but we can alway use IMAP/SMTP on any 3rd email software.
An English interface would be a good start for sure.
Also they are not promoting the free tier at all, it would not be surprising it the Google Apps story repeats and the product gets discontinued relatively soon.
Lark has two big issues:
IMO that's the biggest problem. If it's not profitable, it might (and will in the future) stop. Then you'll have to start the migration process all over again
I think they will make money from it soon, but for now it's Free to support companies affected by covid?
