Excellent questions. It is free unless you want to use custom fields. The emails go into a queue which is listened for and processed when items are added. I have 3 that listeners that run simultaneously to handle email sending.

If the site goes down then the emails are lost. I'm still working on a solution of multi region load balancing with high availability to ensure this doesn't happen.

Thank you! Right now during this phase we don't have any imposed sending limits, but we do have a soft cap of 200 emails per hour. This is simply to combat against spam. If someone is sending 200+ emails per hour they should probably find a different solution to be honest. That cap could change depending on behavior and usage as we monitor the service.

Future plans to monetize may include saved messages (which I'm not to keen on), multiple alias' or alias forwarding, the custom fields may or may not be monetized. I may go the Patreon route and if people like the service they can pay what they want.
