| Reliability | an organization that used the free version moves to a paid plan in stages: it keeps the features free until it receives an email 7 days before its first payment, and if it does not pay it stays in view-only mode, where its data is kept and readable and nothing new can be added |
| Notes | Non-profit organizations and charities keep all Yandex 360 for Business services free of charge, so mail on a custom domain stays free on that institutional route. |
