Pricing & billing notes

The official pricing page lists Free and Premium plans and a separate premium-feature trial-period statement, but the fetched page does not explicitly display a USD monthly-equivalent SimpleLogin Premium price. No amount was inferred or converted.

Official pricing

The official homepage and features page explicitly state that paid plans start at $1/month. The pricing page says subscriptions can be billed monthly or yearly; no annual amount was converted. This is a starting price, not a claim that every paid plan costs $1/month.

How to read the differences

Start with your requirements.

The notes below describe differences in the sourced records, not performance or features proven absent. Different vendors use different names and describe their plans at different levels of detail.

Check your devices

Both records list Web, Browser, Android, iOS.

A platform appearing in only one record is not proof that the other product lacks support. Features can differ by operating system.

Look at ongoing free access

The two records have the same free-plan status: a verified free plan is available for each.

Read the separate free-plan notes in the table. Trials, refunds, quotas and ongoing free tiers are different things.

Read the full billing terms

Addy.io has a numeric USD monthly starting figure in the record; SimpleLogin does not. That is not enough for a direct price comparison.

A lower displayed price is not a direct value ranking. Billing commitments, introductory periods, renewals, country, taxes and included features differ by plan.

Your needs make the choice.

Use the comparison to shortlist, not to pick a universal winner. Review each product's strengths and things to consider, confirm support for your devices and read the current plan terms. The checked dates in the table show when the source information was reviewed; this is not a hands-on test.
