Hostinger Reach doesn’t price itself the way most email marketing tools do. Instead of a flat monthly fee per feature tier, you pick a recipient range first, and everything else (email sending limit, AI credits, cost) follows from that one choice.
I pulled every tier directly from Hostinger’s live pricing tool and its official documentation to lay out exactly what you get and what you pay at each level.
Key Takeaways
- Paid plans run from $1.99/mo (500 recipients) to $74.99/mo (50,000 recipients) on the 24-month term
- A genuinely free plan exists: 100 recipients, 200 emails/mo, valid for one year, claimable once per account only
- Reach does not hike your renewal price the way Hostinger’s hosting does. You keep the rate you locked in
- AI credits scale with your tier up to 2,500 recipients, then flatten at 30/mo for every tier above that
- Refunds require more than just staying inside 30 days. Using the free plan can disqualify a later refund unless you cancel on your first paid renewal
- Multibanco, GCash, and Fawry purchases can only be refunded to Hostinger Balance, not your original payment method

Prices exclude tax.
How Billing and Term Length Actually Work
Every recipient tier offers the same three commitment lengths:
- 24 months – labeled Recommended, carries the steepest discount
- 12 months – labeled Most Popular, a middle-ground discount
- 1 month – full price, no discount at all
The monthly figures in the table above are a breakdown of a single upfront charge, not a recurring monthly bill.
Choosing the 24-month term on the 2,500-recipient tier means one payment of roughly $167.76 today ($6.99 times 24), not $6.99 charged monthly for two years. This is the same upfront structure Hostinger uses across its hosting products, so if you’re used to paying month to month elsewhere, budget for the full term cost at checkout rather than the per-month figure alone.
What caught my attention testing this across tiers is that the discount percentage isn’t fixed. It moves between 67% and 75% on the 24-month term depending on which recipient range you land in, rather than applying one flat rate across the board.
There’s no consistent pattern to it, so the only reliable way to know your real discount is to check the specific tier you need rather than assuming it matches a lower or higher tier.
One structural detail worth flagging directly: Unlike Hostinger’s shared hosting plans, where renewal pricing jumps sharply after the first term, Reach renews at the same promotional monthly rate you originally locked in. A 24-month plan at $6.99/mo continues renewing at $6.99/mo, not at the 1-month rate. That’s a genuine advantage over how the rest of Hostinger’s product lineup prices renewals, and it works in your favor the longer a term you choose.
The Free Plan: What You Actually Get
- 100 unique recipients per month
- 200 emails per month
- Contact syncing from a Hostinger Website Builder or WordPress site
- AI-generated email templates
- Saved brand details for consistent design
- Campaign scheduling
- Any monthly AI credits
- Removal of the “Sent from Hostinger Reach” signature on your emails
The catch is the free plan can only be claimed once per account, ever. If you burn through it and later want to test the free tier again on a second project under the same account, you can’t. That makes it worth starting deliberately, especially if your actual campaign plans are still months away.
What Changes as You Move Up a Tier
Beyond the obvious jump in recipients and email volume, a few things shift as you climb the tiers that aren’t immediately visible on the pricing page:
- AI credits scale, then flatten. They go from 10/mo on the 500 tier, to 20/mo on the 1,000 tier, then hold at 30/mo for every tier from 2,500 recipients upward. Paying for the 50,000 tier does not get you more monthly AI credits than the 2,500 tier does.
- Every new account gets a one-time bonus of 20 AI credits, on top of whatever the plan itself includes, regardless of tier.
- Contact storage isn’t capped, sending is. You could import a list of 20,000 contacts on the 500-recipient plan; you just couldn’t legally send a campaign to more than 500 unique addresses that month without upgrading.
- Bounced emails still count against your monthly sending limit. Reach does try to protect your quota by halting a campaign entirely if its first batch fails outright, rather than burning through your remaining limit on a broken send.
Is Hostinger Reach Worth It for Your List Size?
Reach’s pricing model rewards knowing your numbers before you sign up, since the cost scales directly with how many people you’re emailing, not with which features you want.
- Solo creators and bloggers building a first list who want to test email marketing without committing money upfront
- Small businesses already hosting a website or store with Hostinger, since contacts sync automatically from Hostinger Website Builder or WooCommerce
- Anyone who values AI-generated email drafts over building templates from scratch in a traditional editor
- Users sending straightforward newsletters, welcome sequences, or abandoned cart emails rather than deep multi-channel automation
- You need integrations with CRM tools or platforms like HubSpot or ActiveCampaign, since Reach currently has no third-party integrations at all
- Your list regularly exceeds 50,000 recipients, which is Reach’s ceiling
- You’re managing highly complex, branching automation logic beyond welcome sequences and abandoned cart flows
How to Check Your Plan, Usage, and Renewal Date
Once you’re signed up, you don’t have to guess where things stand:
- Log into your Reach dashboard, either through hPanel’s Reach tab or directly at reach.hostinger.com
- Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Your Plan
- This shows your current plan, monthly limits, current usage, and upgrade options
For billing specifics like your renewal date, subscription ID, or invoices, go to hPanel → Account → Billing.
This section lists every Hostinger subscription tied to your account, Reach included, in one place, which makes it easy to review renewal dates for all your services at once rather than hunting through separate product dashboards.
Refunds: What the Fine Print Actually Says
Hostinger advertises a straightforward 30-day money-back guarantee, but Reach’s actual refund clause in the Terms of Service has conditions a generic guarantee summary won’t tell you. To qualify for a refund on a Reach plan, all of the following need to be true:
- You’re requesting the refund within 30 days of that specific transaction
- You have not already used the free Reach plan, unless this is your first paid renewal immediately after that free plan ends
- More than 180 days have passed since your last Reach refund, if you’ve ever requested one before
That middle condition matters more than it looks. If you use the free year and then decide Reach isn’t for you once you’re billed for the first paid renewal, you’re still covered.
But if you let that first renewal pass and try to cancel a later one, the free-plan history disqualifies you. Timing your decision around that first paid renewal, not a later one, is the difference between getting your money back and not.
A few payment methods also carry refund restrictions worth knowing before checkout:
- Multibanco (Portugal), GCash (Philippines), and Fawry (Egypt) purchases can only be refunded to your Hostinger Balance, never back to the original payment method
- Standard cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, JCB, Diners Club, Maestro), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and regional options like Klarna or bank transfers don’t carry that restriction
Reach vs. Business Email: Don’t Confuse the Two
If you’re comparing Hostinger products, it’s worth being clear that Reach and Hostinger’s Business Email solve different problems:
- Reach is built for one-to-many campaigns: newsletters and promotional sends to a subscriber list, with unsubscribe handling and DNS authentication built in for that purpose
- Business Email is a professional inbox built for one-to-one conversation with clients or customers, with full webmail access and conversation history

Running a newsletter through a personal inbox, or trying to handle customer replies through Reach, is the wrong tool for the job either way, so pick based on what you’re actually sending.
Which Reach Plan Should You Actually Choose
For a personal blog or a business just starting to collect subscribers, the free plan’s 100 recipients is enough runway to validate whether email marketing is worth your time before spending anything.
Once you’re regularly reaching more than 100 people, or you want the Reach branding gone, the 500-recipient tier at $1.99/mo on the 24-month term is a low enough commitment that upgrading isn’t a real financial decision to agonize over.
The bigger decision point is between the 12-month and 24-month terms once you’re past the entry tier. Since Reach doesn’t punish you with a renewal price jump the way Hostinger’s hosting does, the case for locking in 24 months comes down to whether you’re confident you’ll still want the tool in two years, not to avoiding a future price hike.
If you’re not sure yet, the 12-month term gives up relatively little discount for meaningfully less commitment.
Hostinger Reach’s usage-based pricing is genuinely competitive against dedicated email marketing tools, and the flat renewal rate is a real advantage over how Hostinger prices its hosting.
The free plan is worth using deliberately since it only comes around once, and the refund window is narrower than the generic 30-day guarantee suggests once you’ve touched the free tier.
Next Steps
- Estimate your actual monthly unique recipient count before picking a tier. Overestimating costs you money; underestimating means an upgrade mid-campaign.
- If you haven’t used the free plan yet, start there rather than jumping straight to paid, since it only comes around once.
- If you do upgrade, decide before your first paid renewal whether Reach is a fit. That’s the point at which a refund is still guaranteed to be available to you.
- Check reach.hostinger.com under Your Plan periodically to track usage against your limit rather than finding out mid-send that you’ve hit the cap.
- Compare the 12-month and 24-month totals for your tier directly, since the discount gap between them varies by tier rather than following one fixed rule.
