PostScan Mail Review: Personal and Business Plans Compared
PostScan Mail splits its lineup into personal plans starting at $10/mo and separate, more expensive business tiers that include more free scans and more recipients, so it fits either a solo user watching monthly cost or a company that wants scanning bundled into the base price.
The main trade-off across tiers is free scans: the cheapest personal plan includes none, while every higher tier bundles a growing number of open-and-scan requests into the monthly price. Checked September 25, 2026

How This Review Was Built
Plan prices, item counts, scan allowances and fees in this review are quoted exactly from PostScan Mail's official pricing page, re-verified September 25, 2026. Scanning speed, the app and customer service were not tested hands-on. Its location count comes from the PostScan Mail homepage. Where PostScan Mail does not publish a figure, such as its check deposit availability, this review says so instead of estimating.

Cost at Your Mail Volume
Starter and Standard, the two lower-priced personal plans, are compared here at 10, 30 and 60 mail items with 5 open-and-scan requests each month, using PostScan Mail's published prices and fees. Price your mail volume across providers to check other combinations.
10 mail items, 5 scans
Starter: $10 base (10 items fits inside the 30-item cap, no overage) plus 5 scans at $2.00 each ($10.00), since Starter includes no free scans. Total: $20.00/mo.
Standard: $20 base (10 items fits inside the 60-item cap) plus 5 scans, all covered by the 5 free scans included on monthly billing. Total: $20.00/mo, identical to Starter at this volume.
30 mail items, 5 scans
Starter: $10 base (30 items reaches the 30-item cap exactly, no overage) plus 5 scans at $2.00 each ($10.00). Total: $20.00/mo.
Standard: $20 base (30 items fits inside the 60-item cap) plus 5 free scans covered by the plan. Total: $20.00/mo, again the same as Starter.
60 mail items, 5 scans
Starter: $10 base plus 30 items over the 30-item cap at $0.50 each ($15.00) plus 5 scans at $2.00 each ($10.00). Total: $35.00/mo.
Standard: $20 base (60 items reaches the 60-item cap exactly, no overage) plus 5 free scans covered by the plan. Total: $20.00/mo, $15.00 cheaper than Starter at this volume because Starter's per-item overage fee applies past 30 items.

Anyone opening a PostScan Mail address still needs the USPS mail authorization form completed as with any CMRA mailbox.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Every plan above Starter bundles a growing number of free open-and-scan requests, so frequent scanning does not add up per request.
- Business tiers scale from 360 to 3,000 items per month with matching recipient counts, useful for a team mailbox.
- Developer API and unlimited cloud storage are included on every plan.
- A network of 1,000+ locations, per its homepage, gives a wide choice of address cities.
Cons
- Starter includes zero free scans, so a light scanning habit on the cheapest plan gets expensive fast.
- Check deposit availability is not published on the pricing page, so it cannot be confirmed without contacting PostScan Mail directly.
- Business tiers cost far more than personal tiers ($100 to $600/mo), a steep jump for a growing but still small operation.
