What counts as an event?

One inbound email = one event. Duplicates dedup by Message-ID and don't count. Failed extractions still count (webhook fires regardless per the docs).

What happens if I exceed my quota?

Receiving is never blocked: past the receive quota we keep ingesting and flag the events. Sending is capped: at the send quota a send is refused and recorded as refused until the month rolls over or you upgrade, so nothing goes out unaccounted for. Overage is not billed yet. When it is, the planned rates are $0.005 per received email on Builder and Growth ($0.003 on Scale) and $0.002 per sent email.

Is MCP included?

Yes, on every tier. Every Inbin app is an MCP server: list inboxes, browse and search events, read the schema. Connect from Claude Desktop or Cursor with your API key, or via npx @inbin/mcp.

Do you offer annual pricing?

Not yet, but soon.

Custom domain?

On the Growth waitlist. Instead of foo@in.inbin.dev, your users forward to foo@in.yourbrand.com. Tell us when you upgrade and we'll wire your domain by hand until self-serve ships.

Enterprise, SOC 2, BAA?

Not yet, and we won't claim otherwise. Compliance work starts when the first customer needs it contractually. HIPAA-adjacent workloads need a conversation first (email content can be PHI).
