Tuta is having a birthday sale, putting their highest Legend tier at the same price as their second-highest Revolutionary tier, and I’m wondering two things:
- Is this a good deal for 36€ per year?
- Is this a deal that comes around every year, or is this a rare sale?
I use addy.io to manage aliases, so the extra addresses are whatever. The custom domains might be nice, since I could potentially(?) use that with Addy. I’ve been pretty judicious with my free 1GB of space, but having 500GB would be more than comfortable (besides being overkill).
I’m not really interested in getting into self-hosting right now, but I might in the future, so I’m also curious how y’all who self-host email feel about a deal like this. Comparable to the cost of self-hosting? Similar features?
Thanks!

I think that offer ends today, so you’ll need to be quick! One ting to note that if you want to import emails, right now, you need the Legend tier so now is a good time to get it if that’s of value to you.
I wouldn’t honestly pay for an email service that does not allow for PGP encryption. Go for mailbox.org or posteo for true standard-respecting emails.
I’ve always found I never end up using PGP, being that all parties need to have it configured and in my experience very very few do. Do you find you use it that often?
True, it is simple to use but no one who is a normie will ever use it. I have offered to help but if it is not in their workflow they won’t even try if they do not care about privacy. Which few do.
A very good point. I haven’t handed out the Tuta address, and everything goes through Addy first, so moving would be easy.
It’s a pretty good deal compared to proton mail pricing at least. But be aware that starting from the second year it will be 96€, as the deal is only for the first year.
Oh, good to know. I tried to find where that was made clear, as I suspected that might be the case. Kind of kills the deal for me, at that point.
Thanks!
