Room to grow
30 GB per mailbox on Starter and 100 GB on Business, and one busy mailbox can grow beyond that into the team's unused space, so nobody has to delete old mail to make room.
Security by default
Passkeys, required 2-step sign-in, country sign-in rules and private image loading, without add-ons.
Simple monthly billing
No yearly lock-in: pay per mailbox each month and change plans whenever you need.

Questions
Switching from Zoho Mail: FAQ
How do I move my email from Zoho Mail?
Turn on IMAP access in Zoho Mail, then use Daakiaa's import tool. It copies every folder and message, and can create missing mailboxes on the way.
Is Daakiaa cheaper than Zoho Mail?
Zoho's entry plan costs less per user, but has 5 GB per mailbox. Daakiaa Starter gives each mailbox 30 GB (one up to 45 GB), works with every mail app and is billed monthly, so for many teams it is better value.
Can I use the free plan with Outlook or my phone's mail app?
Yes. Unlike many free plans, Daakiaa's free plan includes IMAP and SMTP, so Outlook, Apple Mail and the Gmail app all work.
Will I lose email while switching?
No. Import first, then switch your domain's mail records. Split delivery keeps mail flowing to people who have not moved yet.
