Their ToS only allow one account per person…

Does anyone here have more than 1 free account on such platforms?

Has there been cases where people got banned for having more than 1 free account?

Perhaps, but you’re just guessing. I don’t know their operating costs, and I would suspect that neither do you.

If you know better, please enlighten me.

Again, just relatively common sense.

Postfix etc… isn’t that hard to run. I selfhost a mailcow installation, which is considered “full” and “expensive to run” and it’s still really fine to run. Not expensive when scaling up to multiple users, the most important is the initial performance cost per instance.

We’re mostly paying for salaries and R&D I believe. They’re developing other services and stuff, but they could easily charge less and still be profitable, they just wouldn’t have this much reserves.

Perhaps they don’t realise that by lowering their subscription costs, they could get more users… like me

Sounds like a market opportunity.
