What it is
Mailvelope adds client-side end-to-end email encryption using PGP to supported webmail services. Its browser add-on works with Gmail, Outlook, WEB.DE, and other webmailers. Users can encrypt and decrypt attachments within email, including with PGP/MIME support, and export keys or manage multiple keyrings. While composing, Mailvelope can detect a recipient's public key; signature mismatches can help identify phishing attempts. The free private-user offering is independent from Google, but it lacks PGP/MIME, Google Workspace integration, and customer service. Business plans include a 14-day trial without payment data. Monthly billing is €3.00 per user per month, while annual billing is €32.40 per user per year. Paid subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled anytime. Mailvelope states that it complies with GDPR and EU privacy laws. Business integrations include professional or premium email support options.
