Neo Mail vs Rackspace Email (2026): which should you pick?

Neo Mail

• Small businesses needing mailboxes on their own domain at a low per-mailbox price
• Teams that want campaigns and booking links bundled with email

Rackspace Email

• Businesses that want hosted email with admin tools and migration help
• Companies already working with Rackspace on Microsoft 365

Neo Mail

• A single plan applies to every mailbox in an organization; mixing plans is not supported.
• The page was showing a sale and first-term discounts, so the price a new customer pays can be lower than the monthly figure.
• A custom domain is needed; a free co.site domain is offered for those without one.
• Plans have caps such as 1 template and 1 contact group on Starter.

Rackspace Email

• No price could be read: the old product page returns an error and the current Email page would not load, so check with Rackspace.
• Rackspace's site now leads with enterprise cloud and Microsoft 365, and presents Rackspace Email as one of several productivity options.
• Rackspace documents setup for Outlook, Apple Mail, iPhone and Android mail apps; it names no native app of its own.
