Short answers
- Is free actually free forever?
- Pricing FAQ: yes. No card, no trial, no inbox-generation cap. Limits are the shared domain and 30-minute TTL.
- Why pay for Workspaces?
- Pricing page: many identity providers flag shared disposable domains. A custom test domain is how CI stops failing on the mailbox domain.
- Self-host?
- Pricing FAQ: yes, the Cloudflare Worker is open source. They point to a self-hosting guide.
