DuoboxProfessional email, the first year and every year after
This page is for anyone who bought their domain at GoDaddy, got offered email in the cart, and wants to know if it's worth it. We read the prices on GoDaddy's official website on 26 October 2026, in dollars.
The first thing to know: the prices GoDaddy shows are for the first year. What you pay after that isn't in the table; you see it in the cart or in the fine print. Duobox has no first year: there's one price, and the first inbox doesn't pay.
Your first inbox is free
With Duobox you start without paying: 1 person, 1 inbox, 1 domain and 10 GB, no card and no time limit. And if your domain is at GoDaddy, it stays there: you connect it by copying a few records, and your email is up and running today without spending a cent.
At GoDaddy, the cheapest address is $1.99 a month for the first year, with 10 GB. That's exactly what Duobox gives you for free.

In one line
DuoboxDuobox is your company's email on your domain, paid per person and month to month, with shared inboxes and an agent that can handle them with the permissions you choose.
GoDaddy sells email per address with its "Professional Business Email", which runs on Titan, and charges one price the first year and another one after that.

Why Duobox
You start free
No card, no first-year price, no surprise at renewal.
One price
$2 per person, month to month, no contract.
A shared inbox is not a forward
With a forward, the reply goes out from the address of whoever answered, and the day that person leaves, the conversation breaks. A shared inbox replies from sales@ and keeps the history.
Five times the storage
On the paid plan: 50 GB per inbox versus Pro Light's 10 GB.
Aliases and forwards included
Each inbox can receive at up to five more addresses and forward with up to ten rules, without changing plans.

When to choose each one
DuoboxChoose Duobox if you want to start free, your team shares inboxes, you want a price that doesn't change in year two, and you want an agent to be able to reply in your email with the permissions you set.
Choose GoDaddy if you want to pay for your email on the same bill as your domain and you don't mind checking the renewal every year.
Questions people ask us
- Is the first inbox free forever?
- Yes, as long as you're one person with one inbox and 10 GB. You only pay once you add someone, a second inbox or more storage.
- Do I have to transfer my domain from GoDaddy?
- No. The domain stays at GoDaddy; you only change the email records.
- What if I already have email at GoDaddy?
- It's imported over IMAP in one pass, and you can run it again to bring in whatever arrived afterwards.
