Why Businesses Choose Typewire Over Nili

Both Typewire and Nili position themselves as privacy-minded email providers. The difference comes down to infrastructure, transparency, and how well the platform supports real business needs.

Here's how Typewire stands apart:

Get infrastructure you can rely on

Nili operates on third-party cloud infrastructure, which means their network and data security ultimately depend on external providers.

Typewire takes a different approach. We own and operate our infrastructure in Canada, giving us full control over how your data is stored, protected, and accessed. There are no shared cloud environments or reliance on external vendors to safeguard your email. Everything is governed by Canadian privacy laws from end to end, offering stronger guarantees around privacy, uptime, and accountability, which is especially important for businesses handling sensitive communication.

Have access to clear, honest pricing

Email pricing should be straightforward. You should know what you're paying before you sign up, without fine print or unexpected fees.

Typewire offers simple monthly pricing with no setup costs or forced annual commitments. You can add or remove users as your team changes, without being locked into long-term contracts.

By comparison, some providers advertise low monthly rates that require paying for a full year upfront, higher monthly fees, or additional setup charges. With Typewire, pricing stays predictable and scales cleanly as your business grows.

Our software is designed and built in-house

Nili uses Roundcube, a free open-source webmail client. While functional, it wasn't built specifically for modern business workflows or for ongoing product development.

Typewire's webmail and mobile apps are built in-house by our own team. That means we're not limited by third-party tools or templates, and we can make improvements as we go, refine the interface, and build features based on what our customers actually ask for. The result is an inbox that feels simple, reliable, and genuinely designed for day-to-day work, instead of something out together from off-the-shelf software.

Get more storage where it matters

Storage limits can quickly become a bottleneck for growing teams, especially when email is a core part of daily operations.

Typewire includes 50 GB of email storage per user, compared to 5GB per user on Nili's business plans. And because Typewire's storage is dedicated entirely to email, your inbox never has to compete with file storage, photos, or unrelated services. Your messages stay accessible without needing to constantly cleanup or upgrade your plan.

Designed to scale with your team

Some email providers place limits on how large your organization can grow on a single plan, which can force inconvenient migrations later on.

Typewire is built with growth in mind. There are no artificial user caps, team size limits, or the need to change platforms as your organization expands. Regardless of whether you're managing a small team today or scaling into a much larger business, Typewire keeps your email system simple, organized, and ready to grow with you.
