Info
This page only applies to free Zivver accounts.

Introduction

This page answers frequently asked questions about message limits in Zivver. Free accounts are designed for personal use and therefore have message limits in place. These limits provide added security and help prevent misuse of the platform.

The use of Zivver for business purposes requires a paid subscription. Using a free account for business purposes is not permitted.

Paid Zivver accounts offer unlimited secure messages* as well as additional benefits, such as the ability to send secure emails directly from your email client. You can view our subscription plans on our pricing page.

Below, you’ll find clear answers to the most common questions regarding message limits.
