Inbound email, with replies threaded to the email they answer

Mailboxes for your agents and apps, up to your plan's allowance

Signed, retried webhooks

A timeline for every send in the dashboard

## What a Samva agent reply costs.

AI credits

AI credits

20 AI credits per reply sent.

You pay only for replies that send; a reply a person rejects costs nothing, and setting up and trying an agent are free. A calendar booking takes 3 replies (offer times, hold the booking, confirm it once you approve), so it costs 60. The email a reply sends counts as one email on your plan.

Best-quality replies are metered by use instead, usually 110–555 AI credits a reply depending on how long the thread is. Each needs 750 AI credits available to start, and they are included on paid plans.

## Samva agent replies each amount of AI credits covers

| AI credits | Replies |
| --- | --- |
| Free, 2,000 a month | 100 |
| Starter, 16,000 a month | 800 |
| Growth, 50,000 a month | 2,500 |
| Scale, 170,000 a month | 8,500 |
| A pack, 10,000 for $10 | 500 |

## Extra email, with a limit you set.

How overage works

How overage works

- **Exact per email**: Each extra email costs $0.0005. You pay for 1,001 emails, not a block of 2,000.
- **A limit you choose**: The default limit is $50 of extra email a month. You get an alert at 80% and at 100% of your included emails. Raise it, lower it, or pause extra emails.
- **What happens at the limit**: Sends past it are refused until you raise the limit or the month resets. If you pause extra emails, sending stops at your plan's included volume.

## Before you pick a plan

### Do you charge per contact?

No. You are billed on emails sent. Each plan includes an active-contact allowance: 1,000 on Free, 10,000 on Starter, 50,000 on Growth, 250,000 on Scale.

### What is a sending credit?

Your plan's monthly emails are counted in sending credits, and one email is one sending credit. Received email draws nothing.

### What are AI credits, and do they spend my sending credits?

No. AI credits are a separate pool from sending credits. Every plan includes a monthly grant of them, and the AI email editor and Samva agents draw them as they work. A Samva agent draws 20 AI credits for each reply it sends, and best-quality replies are metered by use. Best-quality mode, in the editor and for agents, is included on paid plans. Free stops when its grant is spent; paid plans can bill past it. Packs of 10,000 AI credits for $10 never expire. Each pool refuses on its own, so running out of one never stops the other.

### What happens if I go past my plan?

Paid plans bill extra emails at exactly $0.50 per 1,000, up to your spend limit ($50 by default). Free stops at 500.

### When do I pay for extra emails?

Extra emails are billed in arrears, on the monthly invoice that follows.

### Do replies count against my emails?

No. Received email draws nothing from your monthly emails. Only the emails you send do.

### Is there a daily limit?

Yes. Free sends 100 a day. Starter 5,000 a day, Growth 20,000 a day, Scale 100,000 a day. New accounts start lower while they are reviewed.

### Which currencies can I pay in?

Pay in your own currency. Checkout shows your local currency.

### Can I send from my own domain?

Yes. Add it and publish the DKIM and SPF records Samva generates, or connect Cloudflare or Vercel and they are added for you.

### Can I change plans?

Yes. Pick a different plan in billing settings when your volume changes. Your integration stays the same.

### How do I get started?

Start for free. Verify your sending domain, then send your first email.

### When is Samva not the right tool?

When you need an SMTP relay, marketing automations, or the lowest possible cost per email and you will build events, templates, and suppression yourself. For that last case, look at Amazon SES.

## Send your first email free.

500 emails a month, no card. When you outgrow it, the bill stays predictable.
