How come there isn't a price on it?
Will I need to pay for the service later?

I would pay too. Working with a small business so it wouldn't be much, but I wouldn't mind contributing.

This is a very good tool for testing emails. It would be nice where you sell this as a product and provide enterprise support with some license fee etc..so there will be contracts signed. That will allow us to freely use in our infrastructure. Right now we had to answer a lot internally on how mailtrap will use or archive our emails, what is the binding related this data since there is no contract signed by either party.

Hi guys, this is a great question and thank you for asking it.
Mailtrap is a product built by a design and engineering consultancy company called Railsware.com
We bult the product in order to resolve our own issue.
We do not make money on it, as our main source of revenue is consultancy.
So Mailtrap for now is a present to the world. (as are piro.railsware.com, pivotalbooster.com, playwithfaces.com )As it is getting more and more popular - we will obviously have to of charging for it, as our bill for hosting it is raising.
We will always remember the early adopters, contributors and product evangelists and either make it free - or make it very very cheap to cover the costs, so no worries about that.

This is a great application, but possibly a bit too soon to charge for it. Keep it free as long as you can. So far this is a "nice to have" tool in the toolset. I'm sure my team wouldn't be using it if they had to pay for it.
Consideration: Adopting new tools in a corporate environment is challenging. As soon as you ask to spend OPEX money (even for a piddly amount) that involves paperwork and endless rounds of seeking premission. Often managers have a generous budget for CAPEX but no allowance for OPEX decisions. Then suddenly IT are involved and they bring out the "this hosted service contravenes our IT security policy" and the whole thing gets locked down.
When it is free us corporate prisoners are able to use it without anyone noticing.

I'd especially like to know this, because this service is excellent, and for something reasonable I'd easily pay ($5/month for 10 active inboxes)
