Plans & Billing
Understand subscription plans, manage your billing, and know what happens at your limits
Overview
SentinMail uses a tiered subscription model. Each plan determines your resource limits (subscribers, templates, emails per month) and which features you can access.
View Your Current Plan
Go to Settings → Subscription to see:
- Your current plan name and status
- Usage bars for each resource limit:
- Team members
- Email templates
- Subscribers
- Subscriber lists
- SMTP configurations
- Emails sent this month
- Your billing cycle — start date, renewal date, and status
Available Plans
On the Subscription page, scroll down to see all available plans with a Monthly/Annual toggle. Annual plans typically offer a discount.
Each plan card shows:
- Price
- Resource limits
- Included features
- An Upgrade button
Upgrade Your Plan
Choose a plan
On the Subscription page, click Upgrade on your desired plan.
Choose billing cycle
Toggle between Monthly and Annual billing.
Apply a coupon (optional)
If you have a coupon code, enter it and click Validate. The discount will be shown before you pay.
Select payment method
Choose how you'd like to pay:
| Method | Provider |
|---|---|
| Credit/Debit Card | Stripe |
| Cryptocurrency | NOWPayments |
| Card / M-Pesa | Pesapal |

Click Proceed to Payment and follow the payment flow. Once confirmed, your plan upgrades immediately.
Manage Billing
If you pay via Stripe, you can access the Stripe billing portal to:
- View and download invoices
- Update your payment method

Click Manage Billing on the Subscription page.
Billing History
A table at the bottom of the Subscription page shows all billing events — successful payments, failed payments, and coupon redemptions.
Cancel Your Subscription
Go to Subscription
Navigate to Settings → Subscription.
Click Cancel Subscription
Only the company Owner can cancel a subscription. When cancelled, you keep access to paid features until the end of the billing period. After that, features beyond the Free plan limits become unavailable.
What Happens at Your Limits?
When you reach a resource limit, SentinMail prevents you from creating more of that resource:
| Resource | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Subscribers | New subscriber creation is blocked. The public subscribe page returns an error. |
| Templates | New template creation is blocked. |
| Emails/month | Send requests are blocked until the quota resets. |
| Team members | New invitations are blocked. |
| SMTP configs | New config creation is blocked. |
| Lists | New list creation is blocked. |
You'll see a clear message explaining the limit and a prompt to upgrade.
Coupons
If you have a coupon code:
- Go to Settings → Subscription
- Click Upgrade on any plan
- Enter the code in the Coupon field
- Click Validate — if valid, the discounted price is shown
- Proceed with payment at the reduced price
Coupons have expiry dates and may be limited to specific plans or first-time upgrades.
