Tutanota Pricing Plans 2026: Tuta Mail Cost & Storage

The name on the box changed: Tutanota is now Tuta, and the email product is Tuta Mail. Most people still type “Tutanota pricing” into search, so here is the honest answer for 2026 — and one limitation that no price chart will warn you about. I pulled the live rates straight from tuta.com, then worked through what a single private user, a freelancer with a custom domain, and a small team each actually pay, where the storage and access limits bite hard, and who should not buy Tuta at any price.

Tutanota is now Tuta: what changed

Tutanota rebranded to Tuta, and the mail product is now called Tuta Mail. The rename was cosmetic — apps, accounts, encryption, and the German legal basis all carried over unchanged. A Tutanota account is simply a Tuta Mail account today, and “Tutanota pricing” and “Tuta Mail pricing” describe the same plans.

If you last looked at this service a couple of years ago, the first thing that will trip you up is the name. The company dropped “Tutanota” and now calls itself Tuta; the email product is Tuta Mail. Nothing else moved. Your old name@tutanota.com address still works, the apps updated themselves, and the price plans kept their slightly theatrical names — Revolutionary and Legend.

I am keeping the “Tutanota” name here because that is still what most people search for, but every figure below is the current Tuta Mail pricing. There is no separate legacy pricing to worry about.

What has not changed is the core proposition: end-to-end encrypted email and calendar, built in Germany, with the encryption applied to the subject line and body of every message — not just attachments. That German base matters for buyers who care about data jurisdiction, and it is the reason Tuta gets compared to the other big encrypted-mail name rather than to mainstream providers.

The free plan: what you actually get

Tuta Mail’s free plan gives 1 GB of storage, one user, one calendar, and three labels, with full end-to-end encryption. It is permanently free with no card required. The hard limits are the 1 GB ceiling, no extra email aliases, and no custom domain — so the free plan is a single private mailbox, not a custom-domain address or a team account.

The free plan is how most people first land on Tuta, and it is a real product, not a teaser. You get an encrypted mailbox at a @tuta.com (or legacy @tutanota.com) address, the full apps on every platform, an encrypted calendar, and the same security model the paid tiers use. No advertising, no card on file, no countdown.

The limits are where it gets honest. 1 GB of storage is the headline number, and for an active inbox it is modest — a year of normal mail with attachments will get you close. There are no email aliases, so you cannot create billing@ or hello@ variants. And there is no custom-domain support, which is the limit that pushes most serious users to pay: the free plan only works on a Tuta-owned domain.

For a single person who wants a private, encrypted personal mailbox and checks it in the Tuta app, the free plan is genuinely enough. For anyone who wants you@yourcompany.com, or who archives heavily, it is a starting point you will outgrow — and the cheapest fix is the Revolutionary plan.

Revolutionary and Legend pricing

Revolutionary costs €3 per month and gives 20 GB of storage, 15 email aliases, and up to 3 custom domains with catch-all. Legend costs €8 per month and gives 500 GB of storage, 30 aliases, and up to 10 custom domains. Both unlock unlimited calendars, unlimited folders and filters, and auto-reply. An annual billing term is offered at a lower effective rate than paying monthly.

These are the two paid personal plans, and both fix the free plan’s real weaknesses — they add storage, aliases, and custom-domain support.

Revolutionary at €3 per month is the plan most individuals should look at first. The €3 buys 20 GB of storage — a twenty-fold jump over the free tier — plus 15 email aliases and the ability to connect up to 3 of your own domains with catch-all addressing. For a freelancer who wants you@yourbusiness.com on encrypted email, that is the entire shopping list at the lowest price Tuta charges. Tuta has noted publicly that the Revolutionary tier replaced its long-standing flat Premium price, which had not changed since the first paid plans launched in 2015.

Legend at €8 per month is built for scale, not features. The feature set is the same as Revolutionary; what you are buying is headroom — 500 GB of storage, 30 aliases, and up to 10 custom domains. That is a lot of mailbox. Legend earns its price only if you genuinely archive everything, run many alias addresses, or manage a stack of domains from one account.

A practical note on billing: Tuta offers an annual term that works out cheaper per month than paying monthly, so if you are confident about staying, paying for a year up front is the lower-cost route. The €3 and €8 figures above are the monthly-billed rates.

For a freelancer juggling several alias addresses, a tidy filing setup matters as much as the plan you pick — our guide to building an email organization system covers the folder-and-filter discipline that keeps any mailbox under its storage cap.

Business plans: Essential, Advanced, Unlimited

Tuta’s business plans are priced per user per month: Essential at €6 (50 GB storage, 15 aliases, 3 custom domains), Advanced at €8 (500 GB, 30 aliases, 10 domains), and Unlimited at €12 (1000 GB, 30 aliases, unlimited custom domains). All include unlimited calendars and labels, and an annual billing term is available.

If you are buying for a team rather than yourself, Tuta sells three separate business tiers, priced per user — and they are not just the personal plans with a different label.

Essential at €6 per user per month is the freelancer-and-small-team entry point. Each user gets 50 GB of storage, 15 aliases, and 3 custom domains. Note that the storage is more generous than the €3 personal Revolutionary plan despite a higher price — the business tiers are built for shared-domain, multi-seat use.

Advanced at €8 per user per month is the mainstream team plan: 500 GB per user, 30 aliases, 10 custom domains. For most companies of a handful to a few dozen people, this is the tier that fits — enough storage that nobody thinks about it, enough domains for a brand with sub-brands.

Unlimited at €12 per user per month is the top tier: 1000 GB (1 TB) per user, 30 aliases, and unlimited custom domains. It is for organisations that run many domains or need very large mailboxes per seat.

The decision between them is almost entirely about storage and domain count, since the security and collaboration features are consistent across all three. Pick Essential if 50 GB per seat is comfortable, Advanced if you want room to stop thinking about it, and Unlimited only if you genuinely run more than ten domains.

A team on any business tier still benefits from cutting inbound clutter before it fills those mailboxes — our roundup of the best unsubscribe tools for 2026 covers trimming the newsletter volume that quietly eats storage.

Storage and alias limits compared

Storage ranges from 1 GB on the free plan to 1000 GB on Business Unlimited. Email aliases range from zero on the free plan to 30 on Legend, Advanced, and Unlimited. Custom domains range from none on free to unlimited on Business Unlimited. The free plan supports no aliases and no custom domain at all.

Tuta’s plan names are evocative but tell you nothing about the numbers, so here they are laid side by side.

Free — 1 GB storage, 0 aliases, 0 custom domains, 1 user.
Revolutionary — 20 GB storage, 15 aliases, 3 custom domains, 1 user, €3/month.
Legend — 500 GB storage, 30 aliases, 10 custom domains, 1 user, €8/month.
Business Essential — 50 GB storage per user, 15 aliases, 3 custom domains, €6/user/month.
Business Advanced — 500 GB per user, 30 aliases, 10 custom domains, €8/user/month.
Business Unlimited — 1000 GB per user, 30 aliases, unlimited domains, €12/user/month.

Two things stand out. First, aliases cap at 30 on every plan above Revolutionary — if you need more than 30 addresses on one account, Tuta does not scale there, and you would split across accounts. Second, the personal and business tiers are not interchangeable: Business Essential at €6 gives more storage than personal Revolutionary at €3, because the business plans assume shared domains and multiple seats. Buying a personal plan for a team, or a business plan for one person, both leave value on the table.

When a Tuta mailbox does start to fill, the fix is the same as on any provider: archive or delete old mail before paying for the next tier up. The discipline matters more here because there is no IMAP escape hatch — which brings us to the limitation the price charts never mention.

The catch no price chart shows: no IMAP

Tuta Mail does not support IMAP, POP, or SMTP on any plan — free or paid. Because every message is encrypted on Tuta’s servers, the mailbox is only reachable through Tuta’s own apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and the web. You cannot connect Tutanota to Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or Mailbird.

This is the single most important thing to understand before you pay Tuta anything, and no pricing table shows it.

Standard email providers expose your mailbox over IMAP and SMTP, the open protocols that let any email client connect. Tuta does not — on any tier. The reason is structural, not a missing feature: Tuta encrypts the body and subject of every message on its own servers, and a generic IMAP client has no way to decrypt that. The encryption that is Tuta’s whole selling point is also what makes a normal desktop client impossible.

In practice that means your only ways into a Tuta mailbox are Tuta’s own apps — desktop builds for Windows, Mac and Linux, mobile apps for Android and iOS, and webmail. They are competent apps. But if you have a preferred email client and expect every mailbox to live inside it, Tuta will not cooperate, and paying for Legend or a business tier does not change that.

If a single client that handles every account you own is non-negotiable, that points you toward a standard IMAP provider instead. A desktop client like Mailbird connects to any IMAP mailbox — Gmail, Outlook, a hosted custom domain — but it cannot connect to Tuta, by design. The choice is genuine: encryption-by-default and Tuta’s apps, or IMAP freedom and a provider that does not encrypt the subject line.

Where Tuta Mail pricing stops making sense

There is an honest limit to when Tuta’s encrypted plans are the right call, and naming it saves you from paying for a product that fights your workflow.

No IMAP is a hard wall, not a quirk. If anyone needs Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or Mailbird, no Tuta tier — Legend included — will work. This is a reason to not buy Tuta, not a reason to upgrade.
The free plan’s 1 GB fills fast. With no aliases and no custom domain either, the free plan is a private personal mailbox and nothing more. Treat it as a trial of the apps, not a long-term home for serious mail.
Aliases cap at 30. Every paid tier above Revolutionary tops out at 30 aliases. If you run dozens of role addresses, Tuta does not scale to it on one account.
No external migration of search-friendly mail. Because there is no IMAP, moving a large mailbox in or out of Tuta is a manual export-import, not a quick client sync. Switching costs are higher than with a standard provider.
You are paying for encryption first, convenience second. Tuta’s prices are low for encrypted email, but if encryption-by-default is not actually a requirement for you, a mainstream IMAP mailbox gives you more flexibility for similar money.

Encrypted email is the right tool for a privacy problem. It is the wrong tool if your real constraint is desktop-client choice, a large alias estate, or low-friction migration.

The verdict: which plan to pick

Pick the free plan if you want one private encrypted mailbox and can live in Tuta’s apps. Pick Revolutionary at €3 per month if you want a custom domain and aliases on encrypted email at the lowest price. Pick Business Advanced at €8 per user per month for a team. Skip Tuta entirely if you need IMAP and a desktop client.

After working through every tier against real scenarios, the recommendations come down cleanly:

Best for a free encrypted mailbox: the free plan — 1 GB, one user, full encryption — provided you only need a single private address and are happy in Tuta’s apps.
Best value for individuals: Revolutionary at €3 per month. It adds 20 GB, 15 aliases, and 3 custom domains, and it is about as cheap as custom-domain encrypted email gets.
Best for most teams: Business Advanced at €8 per user per month. 500 GB per seat and 10 domains cover almost any small-to-mid company without overthinking.
Skip Legend unless you genuinely archive everything — at €8 per month it costs the same as a per-user business seat while giving one person 500 GB they will rarely fill.
Choose Business Unlimited only if you run more than ten domains; otherwise Advanced is the right spend.
Skip Tuta altogether if a desktop email client is non-negotiable — no plan offers IMAP, and no amount of money changes that.

The shortest version: free for one private mailbox, Revolutionary the moment you want a custom domain, Business Advanced for a team — and a different provider entirely if IMAP is on your must-have list.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tutanota still called Tutanota in 2026?

No. The service rebranded to Tuta, and the mail product is now called Tuta Mail. The old name Tutanota is still what most people search for, and the apps, domains, and accounts all carried over unchanged, so a Tutanota account from 2022 is simply a Tuta Mail account today. Pricing, encryption, and the German legal basis did not change with the rename. When you read about Tutanota pricing, you are reading about Tuta Mail pricing — they are the same product.

Is Tuta Mail free?

Yes. Tuta Mail has a permanent free plan with 1 GB of storage, one user, one calendar, and three labels. It is genuinely free with no card required and no expiry, and every message is end-to-end encrypted. The limits are real, though: 1 GB fills fast for an active inbox, you get no extra email aliases, and you cannot connect a custom domain. The free plan is for a single private mailbox you check in the Tuta app or webmail — not for a custom-domain address or a team.

How much does Tuta Mail cost in 2026?

Tuta Mail’s cheapest paid personal plan, Revolutionary, costs €3 per month and gives 20 GB of storage, 15 email aliases, and up to 3 custom domains. The Legend plan costs €8 per month with 500 GB of storage, 30 aliases, and up to 10 custom domains. Business plans are priced per user: Essential at €6, Advanced at €8, and Unlimited at €12 per user per month. These are the rates shown on tuta.com as of May 2026; an annual billing term is available and is cheaper than paying month to month.

What is the difference between Revolutionary and Legend?

Storage and scale are the difference. Revolutionary at €3 per month gives 20 GB of storage, 15 email aliases, and 3 custom domains. Legend at €8 per month gives 500 GB of storage, 30 aliases, and 10 custom domains. Both unlock the same feature set otherwise — unlimited calendars, unlimited folders and filters, custom-domain support, and auto-reply. For one person with a normal inbox, Revolutionary’s 20 GB is plenty; Legend exists for power users who archive everything or run many domains.

Does Tuta Mail support IMAP for desktop clients?

No, and this is the single biggest limitation to know before you pay. Tuta Mail does not offer IMAP, POP, or SMTP on any tier — free or paid. Because every message is encrypted on Tuta’s servers, you can only access the mailbox through Tuta’s own apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and the web. You cannot connect Tutanota to Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or Mailbird. If a desktop client that talks to any mailbox matters to you, that is a reason to look at a standard IMAP provider instead.

Is Tuta Mail cheaper than ProtonMail?

On the entry paid tier, yes. Tuta’s Revolutionary plan at €3 per month undercuts the comparable entry plan from the other major encrypted-email provider, while still including custom-domain support and 15 aliases. Tuta’s pitch has always been encrypted email at a lower price than the alternatives, and on raw cost the Revolutionary tier delivers that. The trade-off is the same for both providers: no IMAP, so you are committed to the provider’s own apps rather than your existing email client.
