What it is

Mailvelope adds client-side end-to-end PGP encryption to supported webmail. Its browser add-on works with Gmail, Outlook, WEB.DE, and other webmailers, and can encrypt or decrypt attachments within email, including with PGP/MIME. While composing, it can detect a recipient’s public key; signature mismatches can help identify phishing attempts. Users can export keys, manage multiple keyrings, and use Mailvelope or other key servers. The free private-user offering is independent from Google, but lacks PGP/MIME, Google Workspace integration, and customer service. Mailvelope states that it complies with GDPR and EU privacy laws. Business plans include a 14-day free trial without payment data. Monthly billing costs €3 per user per month; annual billing costs €32.40 per user per year. Paid subscriptions auto-renew and can be cancelled anytime. Business integrations include professional or premium email support options. Mailvelope is available as an extension and through the web.
