SaneBox pricing and SaneBox cost per year for Snack, Lunch and Dinner
SaneBox costs 9.49 USD a month or 65 USD a year on Snack, 15.99 USD a month or 109 USD a year on Lunch, and 42.99 USD a month or 319 USD a year on Dinner. Plans are priced per person by the number of email accounts connected, not by features alone, but the AI Reply Draft and SaneSummary tools sit only on Dinner. A person who wants drafts from SaneBox therefore pays 319 USD a year.

SaneBox pricing plans
These figures come from the plan data on the SaneBox pricing page, checked in October 2026. Each plan is for one person. Annual billing is the cheaper way to pay on every tier.
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly | Per month on yearly | Email accounts | AI Reply Draft and SaneSummary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snack | 9.49 USD | 65 USD | about 5.42 USD | 1 | No |
| Lunch | 15.99 USD | 109 USD | about 9.08 USD | 2 | No |
| Dinner | 42.99 USD | 319 USD | about 26.58 USD | 4 | Yes |
SaneBox works with any IMAP or Exchange mailbox, so it is not limited to Gmail and Outlook. It sorts mail into folders such as SaneLater and SaneNews, which is where its value sits. The pricing pages of third-party review sites disagree with each other and some still show older numbers, so check the plan table above against SaneBox itself before you buy.
How much does SaneBox cost for one person?
One person with a single mailbox who only wants filtering pays 65 USD a year on Snack, about 5.42 USD a month. Someone who also wants AI reply drafts and thread summaries needs Dinner at 319 USD a year, about 26.58 USD a month. Lunch at 109 USD a year adds a second account but not the AI tools.
What a team pays for SaneBox
SaneBox has no team plan with a shared price. Each person who wants the filtering buys their own plan, so the bill scales with headcount. At list price on yearly billing, with everyone on Dinner for the AI tools:
| Who | Plans | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | 1 Dinner | about 26.58 USD | 319 USD |
| Founder and assistant | 2 Dinner | about 53.17 USD | 638 USD |
| 5 people | 5 Dinner | about 132.92 USD | 1,595 USD |
| 10 people | 10 Dinner | about 265.83 USD | 3,190 USD |
If the whole team only needs filtering on one mailbox each, five people on Snack pay 325 USD a year, about 27.08 USD a month. That is cheap, and it is the honest case for staying with SaneBox.
Which SaneBox plan includes AI
Reply Draft and SaneSummary are on Dinner only. Snack and Lunch sort and clean the inbox, with features such as SaneLater, SaneBlackHole, reminders and snooze, but they do not write replies or summarize threads. If AI help is the reason you are looking at SaneBox, budget for Dinner from the start, because upgrading later means paying the difference.
SaneBox cost against a workspace-priced assistant
InboxManager prices per workspace rather than per person. Starter is 24 USD a month billed yearly (49 USD monthly) and Plus is 74 USD a month billed yearly (149 USD monthly) for up to five people. Every plan sorts new mail, summarizes threads and writes reply drafts in your voice in Gmail or Outlook, and an assistant seat is included.
| Situation | SaneBox with AI (Dinner, yearly) | InboxManager (yearly) |
|---|---|---|
| Founder and assistant | about 53.17 USD a month | Starter, 24 USD a month |
| Team of five | about 132.92 USD a month | Plus, 74 USD a month |
| One person, filtering only | Snack, about 5.42 USD a month | Starter, 24 USD a month |
The last row goes to SaneBox. If you want folders sorted and nothing else, Snack is the cheaper product. Our SaneBox alternative page has the full feature table, and the best AI email assistant roundup lists how the rest of the category is priced. Full InboxManager plans and limits are on the pricing page.
Many SaneBox users run mail on several non-Gmail IMAP accounts. If that is you, a tool that connects every IMAP mailbox in one place may be the next thing to look at alongside any AI layer.
Which SaneBox plan to buy, or whether to buy it at all
Work through these in order and stop at the first yes.
- You want your inbox filtered and nothing more, on one account? SaneBox Snack, billed yearly.
- You have two accounts and want the same filtering? Lunch.
- You want AI reply drafts and summaries from SaneBox? Dinner.
- You want AI drafts in Gmail or Outlook for an owner and an assistant, or a small team, at one price? A workspace-priced assistant such as InboxManager.

How much does SaneBox cost?
SaneBox costs 9.49 USD a month on Snack, 15.99 USD on Lunch and 42.99 USD on Dinner, or 65, 109 and 319 USD a year when billed annually. Each plan is for one person. Snack covers one email account, Lunch two and Dinner four. AI Reply Draft and SaneSummary come only with Dinner.
Is SaneBox worth the cost?
SaneBox is worth it if you want inbox filtering on top of an existing mailbox, since Snack costs about 5.42 USD a month billed yearly. It is a weaker buy if you want AI drafts, because that needs Dinner at 319 USD a year per person, which adds up quickly for a team.
Is SaneBox cheaper billed yearly?
Yes. Yearly billing brings Snack from 9.49 USD to about 5.42 USD a month, Lunch from 15.99 to about 9.08 USD and Dinner from 42.99 to about 26.58 USD. That saves roughly 40 percent on each plan, in exchange for paying the full year up front.
Does SaneBox have AI?
SaneBox has AI features, but only on Dinner. Reply Draft writes suggested replies and SaneSummary condenses long threads. Snack and Lunch sort mail into folders without writing or summarizing anything, so the AI tools are an upgrade, not a default.
What is a cheaper alternative to SaneBox with AI drafts?
For an owner and an assistant, InboxManager Starter is 24 USD a month billed yearly in total, against about 53.17 USD for two SaneBox Dinner plans. For five people, Plus is 74 USD a month billed yearly against about 132.92 USD. SaneBox stays cheaper if you only need filtering.
