Frequently asked questions

No. Nearside is built for genuine, personal, low-volume outreach — every email references what a specific company actually does, and you review and approve them before anything sends. It is not a mass-blasting tool, and sending spam is against our terms.

Your own. You connect your mailbox (iCloud, Outlook, Gmail or Yahoo) and emails go out from you — so replies come straight back to you, and it's your relationship with the company, not ours.

Yes, genuinely free, no card required. The free plan gives you one company search a day (up to 10 real local companies) with researched, ready-to-send emails you can send from your own inbox. AI rewriting and automatic sending are on the paid plans.

Credits are the number of emails you can generate in a week, and they reset every seven days. Sending itself isn't separately metered. Free includes 70 a week; Starter 100; Pro 250; Max 500.

Only if you want automatic sending. To send through your own inbox we use an app-specific password from your email provider. It's encrypted at rest and used solely to send your emails and check for replies. You can also just send the drafts yourself from your mail app with no password at all.

Your connected-inbox password is encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM), your CV is stored in a private file store and only used to attach it to your emails, and your card details are handled by Stripe — we never see them. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Yes. Cancel from your account page at any time; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for and won't be billed again. See our Refund & Cancellation Policy for details.

No — and anyone who promises that isn't being honest. Nearside helps you reach the right companies with a genuinely good email, which is the part you can control. Replies and interviews depend on many things beyond any tool.
