[ 03 / 03 ]·FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we use pro features by just buying credits with no plans (free)?+

No. Features (OTP extraction, attachments, WebSocket, custom domains) are determined by your API plan only. Credits only add request capacity; they don't change your plan or unlock paid features.

What is the Auth Flow Debugger?+

Available on Startup and above, it's a visual dashboard that streams real-time events for your automated E2E tests. It tracks sub-millisecond latencies from when an email is received to when the OTP is extracted. Growth+ plans unlock longer timeline histories and automated failure insights.

Is there a guaranteed uptime SLA?+

Yes, the Enterprise plan includes a 99.5% uptime SLA with real-time monitoring, based on real production performance.

What's the difference between credits and API plans?+

Your API plan sets which features you get and your base rate limits. Credits only add extra request capacity on top of your monthly quota; they never expire and are consumed when you exceed your plan limit.

Do credits expire?+

No. Credits never expire. Top up once and use them whenever you need.

What happens when I hit my monthly limit?+

If you have credits, they are consumed automatically. If you have no credits, you'll receive HTTP 429 until the next reset or until you add credits.

Can I use my own domain?+

Yes, on Growth and Enterprise. Add and verify your domain in the dashboard; then register inboxes like user@yourdomain.com via the API.

Can I switch plans mid-cycle?+

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately; you're charged a prorated amount. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period.

What is the difference between API plan and Pro plan?+

The Pro plan is for the main FreeCustom.Email web app — it unlocks client-side features. The API plan is for programmatic access. They are separate subscriptions.

What does "Pro inbox" mean on Growth / Enterprise API plans?+

Inboxes are stored permanently, provisioned on fresh domains, and private. It does NOT grant a webapp Pro account.

What are fresh domain updates and why do they matter?+

Most disposable email services reuse the same domains that end up on blocklists. On Growth and Enterprise, your inboxes are on recently added, unblocked domains. We rotate new domains in regularly.

What is the shared pool vs. dedicated pool?+

On the Free plan, your inboxes share an MX infrastructure pool with all other free-tier users. On any paid plan (Developer and above) you get a dedicated pool — separate MX routing reserved for paying customers.

Can I pay with cryptocurrency?+

Yes! Click 'Pay with Crypto' on any plan to pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and 300+ other cryptocurrencies via NOWPayments. Crypto subscriptions renew via email invoice each period.
