Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 2 of the 122 other email apps we grade
Soverin is a Dutch email host that charges a yearly fee instead of showing ads or scanning mail. A mailbox comes with 25 GB, unlimited aliases, and calendar and contact sync, and works in standard mail apps as well as webmail. It also sells mailboxes to businesses and resellers.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Soverin, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect your own mail app, and sign-up needs a phone number.
- 1
Best for paid private email on your own domain
There is no free plan or trial and mail is not end-to-end encrypted.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $3.63 a month
As its pricing page puts it: €3.25 per month, billed annually (€39 a year).
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
No ads or scanning
The vendor says it does not scan emails, track readers or sell data, and that it removes the sender's IP from message headers.
- 5
Your own domain
Connect a domain you already own for free, or register a new one through Soverin for a yearly fee.
- 6
Unlimited aliases
Aliases are free, and the vendor also lists multiple mailboxes.
- 7
A 1.8 GPA, above 2 of 122
That is against the other email apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Soverin you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for paid private email on your own domain
Soverin is paid private email hosted in Europe, at 3.25 euros a month billed yearly, with unlimited aliases and your own domain. There is no free plan or trial and mail is not end-to-end encrypted.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | 3.25 euros a month billed annually (39 a year) with VAT included, a little above the cheapest quarter of what email services charge. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing free. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee, which isn't a trial, and domains aren't refunded. |
| Features | B | 25 GB mailbox, unlimited aliases, your own domain, calendar and contact sync, no ads or scanning. The listing shows no gap in the hosting job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You connect your own mail app, and sign-up needs a phone number. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | A web service that works in Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird and Airmail. No apps of its own. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Soverin is for
- Fits if you want a cheap private mailbox on your own domain and no ads
- Works for people who'd rather pay a few euros than be the product
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to try before paying, as there's no free plan or trial
- Skip it if you want end-to-end encryption, which it doesn't offer
- Tight if you want monthly billing, as it's billed once a year
- Watch out: sign-up needs a mobile phone number
- Watch out: prices are in euros and include VAT
Good to know
Good for
- People who want to pay for email instead of using a free ad-funded service
- Anyone moving to a custom domain who wants it kept portable
- Users who want European hosting
Worth knowing
- Billed once a year only: there is no monthly plan and no free trial, only a 30-day money-back guarantee on the mailbox (domains are not refunded).
- Prices are in euros and include VAT.
- Not end-to-end encrypted: the vendor describes connection encryption and encrypted disks, not encrypted mailboxes.
- Signing up needs a mobile phone number, which the vendor says is used only for password resets.

2/122

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Soverin you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 112 of the 122 other email apps grade higher. It costs $43.57 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- It plugs into other products, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook and Thunderbird among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Soverin’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
