Mimecast plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archive | $3/month | 4 | Entry tier |
| Defender | $4/month | 4 | +$1/month, 4 more features |
| Unified | $6/month | 4 | +$2/month, 4 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

- Per user
- Threat protection

People bring Mimecast in for email security filtering against phishing and targeted attacks, email archiving, continuity and compliance for organisations. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Mimecast are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Mimecast
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $3/month and $6/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Mimecast against the tools that do have one before committing.
Mimecast runs on email, cloud, collaboration, and is published by Mimecast Limited of London, UK. The full record is on the Mimecast review.
Mimecast pricing questions
- How much does Mimecast cost?
- Mimecast publishes 3 tiers, from $3/month for Archive up to $6/month for Unified. The cheapest paid tier is $3/month.
- Does Mimecast have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Mimecast is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Archive and Defender on Mimecast?
- Defender costs $4/month against $3/month, and adds per user, threat protection, impersonation prevention, secure sharing.
- Is the Unified plan on Mimecast worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is all defender features, all archive features, backup, advanced reporting. It costs $6/month against $3/month for Archive. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Mimecast?
- The record lists 29 features across 6 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for email security filtering against phishing and targeted attacks, email archiving, continuity and compliance for organisations.
- Does Mimecast charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Mimecast prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Mimecast against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Mimecast to make a useful price comparison.
