Phish Protection, run by DuoCircle, is one of the few email security services that shows its full price on the website and lets you buy without a sales call. The base fee is $32 per month and covers 10 users, then each additional mailbox costs $1.80 per month, falling to $1.60 at larger volumes, and shared mailboxes cost half. Every plan includes the same features: real-time protection, advanced threat defense with AI-powered URL analysis, time-of-click link checks, attachment sandboxing, display name spoofing detection, blocklists and allowlists, and a reporting dashboard. It works with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and any mail system that supports standard routing, and support is 24/7 and US based. There is a 60-day free trial with no credit card and no long-term contract. The trade-off is depth: it is a filtering layer rather than an API tool that learns each user's normal behavior, so it is weaker against carefully written BEC with no link or file. For a small office that wants solid phishing filtering on a known budget, it is easy to recommend.
