Mailbind vs Faldro
Faldro is the closest thing to Mailbind we know of: a browser email client for many addresses across many domains, with team access. The differences are real but narrow.
What each one is
Faldro describes itself as “Every inbox, one workspace”: a browser-based email client that puts several addresses across multiple domains in one inbox, with team access, per-address signatures and a sender chosen when writing. Its site says it connects to any mailbox supporting IMAP and SMTP with no limit on domains, stores passwords encrypted with AES-256-GCM, hosts mail on Contabo servers in Germany, publishes a GDPR Article 28 data processing agreement and offers a self-hosting option. Its footer credits HEXGRID as the operator.
Mailbind is the same shape of product: a web client over your existing IMAP mailboxes, with per-address signatures, a shared inbox and encrypted credentials. It differs in what it is built around — the reply leaves from the address that received the message, rather than being chosen when writing — and in having three interface languages with a mirrored Arabic layout.

Faldro is a trademark of its owner. Mailbind is not affiliated with it, and the figures above are quoted from its own published pages on the date given at the foot of this page — check them before you decide, because prices change.
Two different ways to count
Faldro prices by capacity: the plan sets how many mailboxes, how much storage and how many messages you get, and users are unlimited and free. Mailbind prices by plan and by member: Pro is flat for one person with as many mailboxes as they like, and Team is €14 a month per member with shared inboxes.
That makes the cheaper option a question about your shape. A five-person agency with eight client mailboxes pays Faldro for eight mailboxes and nothing for the people; on Mailbind the same team is five Team members. One freelancer with twelve mailboxes is the reverse: Mailbind’s Pro plan is flat, and on Faldro twelve mailboxes is a larger plan.
- Faldro publishes prices in PLN and mentions EUR and USD options without listing them; Mailbind publishes euros with no VAT added.
- Faldro's plans cap storage and message counts; Mailbind's plans cap mailboxes and members.
- Faldro offers self-hosting; Mailbind is hosted only.
Where Mailbind is different
- The sender is decided by the message, not chosen in the composer — and an alias has to be verified with a code before it can be used.
- English, French and Arabic, with the Arabic interface mirrored and checked for overflow automatically.
- AI summaries in your language, drafts in the sender’s, and Needs-reply triage, all switchable off per mailbox.
- Snooze, rules and smart folders applied in Mailbind rather than at the provider.
- Installs as a PWA with offline reading and an outbox that sends when the network returns.
When to pick Faldro instead
Pick Faldro if your team is larger than your mailbox count, because its users are free and Mailbind’s Team members are not. Pick it if self-hosting is a requirement — it offers that and Mailbind does not. Pick it if German hosting specifically, rather than EU hosting generally, is what you need to tell a client.
Its read-only access level and its explicit position on what happens after a subscription ends — you can still read, download and export your mail — are also good answers to questions a cautious buyer should be asking.
What they agree about
- Both are browser clients over mailboxes you already own, with no migration.
- Both encrypt mailbox credentials with AES-256-GCM.
- Both host in the European Union and publish an Article 28 data processing agreement.
- Both exist because one person now has many addresses, and both say sending still goes through your provider’s SMTP server.
Common questions
Which is cheaper, Mailbind or Faldro?
It depends on the ratio of people to mailboxes. Faldro charges for mailboxes and storage with unlimited free users; Mailbind charges a flat Pro price for one person with unlimited mailboxes, and per member on Team.
Can I self-host Mailbind?
No. Faldro's site offers a self-hosting option; Mailbind is hosted only, in the European Union.
Do both of them really leave my mail at my provider?
Yes — both are IMAP clients that keep a synchronised copy, and both state that sending goes through your mailbox provider's own SMTP server.
Can I try Mailbind before leaving Faldro?
Yes, and you should: connect two mailboxes on the Free plan and run both for a week. Nothing is moved, because Mailbind reads your existing mailboxes over IMAP, so there is nothing to undo if you decide against it.
Will my mail be moved or re-hosted?
No. Mailbind connects to the mailboxes you already own and keeps a synchronised copy for search and offline reading. Your provider stays the authority, and disconnecting deletes the copy.
