Is Spark Mail free?
Yes. Spark's FAQ says "Spark Free includes all the essential features for managing your inbox and connecting multiple accounts" (pricing FAQ). The free plan has no time limit and no cap on the number of email accounts.
What Free leaves out is most of the AI and the sorting tools. Gatekeeper, which screens new senders, and Priority are on Plus and up (plans article). Free users get "a limited free preview of Spark +AI via AI Assistant", with one month of email history for answers. For teams, Free allows 2 active collaborators and 10 assignments per team.
How does the Spark free trial work?
"Spark offers a seven-day free trial for both Plus and Pro when you subscribe directly in the app" (pricing FAQ). The FAQ also says you can contact support "in case you need to prolong it or change the starting day."
To stop a trial, the steps depend on where you started it. On an iPhone or iPad, you cancel through Apple. If you started it on a Mac or on Spark's website, Spark's trial article says to email support@sparkmailapp.com and they cancel it for you. "If you cancel the subscription, you won't be charged after the trial period is over."
Is there a Spark student or team discount?
No. Spark's plans article answers "Do you offer discounts?" with "We do not currently offer discounts." The only saving on the pricing page is yearly billing, at 17% off.
Teams pay the same per-user price as individuals. Spark's cancel article says team fees "will be prorated based on the number of active users during the subscription period."
Family Sharing is not covered: the plans article says "Family Sharing is not covered by these subscription plans."
How do I cancel Spark, and can I get a refund?
You cancel where you paid, and your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. On a Mac, if you subscribed in the desktop app or on the website, Spark's cancel article gives these steps:
- Open Spark Settings.
- Click your email address at the top of the sidebar.
- Click Manage next to the subscription name.
- Cancel your subscription.
"Upon cancellation, your subscription will last until the expiration date." If you paid through the App Store or Google Play, you change or cancel the plan with Apple or Google.
Spark's billing help pages state no refund policy for individual plans. The only refund they describe is for teams: when seats change, "your Spark Account balance will be refunded with a prorated sum." For a refund on an individual plan, email support@sparkmailapp.com. If you paid through the App Store, Apple handles refund requests (Apple).
What happens when Spark AI runs out?
Each paid plan has a monthly AI quota. Spark's FAQ says that when you reach it, "you can purchase a one-time add-on or wait until it automatically refills the next month" (pricing FAQ). Free users "cannot purchase add-ons when their quota is used up."
Meeting notes count against the same quota. The FAQ says notes "are unlimited in number, but each transcription and summary still draws from your plan's monthly AI quota". Spark warns you when 10% of the quota is left.
Is Spark worth paying for?
For many people, Free is enough. It takes unlimited accounts, puts them in one inbox, and runs on Mac, iPhone, Windows and Android at no cost.
Plus is worth it if you want Spark +AI to draft and summarize, or Gatekeeper to screen new senders. Pro is worth it if you use meeting notes a lot or want Auto-Drafts and Autopilot. One subscription "unlocks paid features on all the devices where you use Spark" (pricing FAQ).
Two things to weigh before you pay:
- Where your mail goes. Spark says some features "require our server-side email processing to work," including push notifications (Spark privacy).
- AI is off until you turn it on. The FAQ says "Spark +AI is disabled by default." If you never turn it on, Plus pays mostly for Gatekeeper, Priority and team features.
Alrighty and other options next to Spark
Spark Free is already a strong free choice. These are the options people compare it with. For the full list, read Spark alternatives.
Alrighty. A mail app for Mac, Windows and Linux that puts iCloud, Gmail and Outlook accounts in one inbox. Price: a 14-day trial with no card, then a Free plan or Pro. Free has a small monthly AI allowance and no sorting into groups; Pro has both. Your mail and its search index stay on your computer, and your passwords and sign-in tokens never reach an Alrighty server. Stop mail ends a sender's mail in one action: it unsubscribes, archives their mail and moves new mail from them out as it arrives. Clean up lists the senders you likely don't want, so you can stop them all at once. Limits: no iPhone, Android or web app, no calendar, and no Yahoo or other IMAP accounts. Its AI features send the emails they read through Alrighty's server to OpenAI and other model companies. See Alrighty vs Spark and the features.
Canary Mail. A free plan for up to 2 devices, then $36 or $100 a year, with no monthly billing. See Canary Mail pricing.
Mimestream. Gmail only, $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year, with no free plan. See Mimestream pricing and Mimestream vs Spark.
Apple Mail. Built into macOS. See Spark vs Apple Mail.

Not for new customers. Spark's plans article calls Premium "a legacy plan of Spark" that "stays for the existing customers". You don't have to switch. Premium includes the AI Assistant with up to one year of history.
Does one Spark subscription cover my Mac and iPhone?
Yes. Spark subscriptions are cross-platform. If you buy on iOS, the plan works on "Windows, Mac and Android devices that have Spark installed" when you sign in with the same Spark account (pricing FAQ).
Can I change my Spark plan?
Yes, if you paid through Stripe, which Spark uses in its desktop apps. For a plan bought through the App Store or Google Play, Spark says to contact Apple or Google (plans article).
Is Spark cheaper than Superhuman?
Yes. Spark Pro at $199 a year costs less than Superhuman's Starter plan at $300 a year, and Spark has a free plan. See Superhuman pricing.
