Zoho Mail
Zoho Mail suits small teams on a tight budget: $5 a month for five mailboxes on Mail Lite, plus a free plan for up to five users. Mail Lite includes SAML SSO, aliases and 24x7 chat and phone support. The catch: yearly billing only, 5 GB per mailbox, and Zoho's terms contain no uptime credits.
Infomaniak Mail Service
Infomaniak suits small teams that want mail hosted in Switzerland, with calendars, IMAP and a free migration service. Storage is unlimited and the company holds ISO 27001. The catches are the lack of a written uptime commitment, prices listed in Swiss francs only, and 2FA that the pages tie to the Infomaniak account rather than to each mailbox.
Both products are scored by the same rules: how we score email hosting services.
