What Pingly is

Pingly is a hosted email service for business domains that places email and team chat in one interface. Teams communicate through Channels, while aliases and catch-all addresses can forward mail to specified Pingly users. The service reports delivered, bounced, and opened events for messages sent through Pingly. Outbound SMTP uses smtp.pingly.com on port 587, requires TLS, and authenticates with a Pingly username and password. Pingly runs on the web and iOS; its native iOS application is written in Swift. The free plan costs $0.00 and includes unlimited users, domain email, team chat, search across the recent 5,000 messages, 5GB total storage, and email sending limits. Plus costs $5.00 per user monthly when billed annually, or $6 billed monthly, adding unlimited search, 10GB storage per user, and priority support. Pingly says it does not sell user data and describes encryption practices. Its signup page currently asks visitors to check back while the signup process is being revamped.
