Moat is the first intelligent email gatekeeper that blocks unwanted email — and requires senders to pay you for access.
Works with the tools you already use
One-click OAuth. No passwords stored. Read-only routing access.
First-contact emails from strangers are held before delivery.
Define price points, whitelist categories, and access tiers.
Economics determine access. Not filters. Not algorithms.
Your email address is a liability you hand out to everyone. Moat converts it into a sovereign channel you control. Unknown parties must demonstrate intent to earn access. You decide who gets in — and at what cost.
Every other solution treats symptoms. Moat treats the cause.
Moat reads email content to classify messages accurately — but it never stores, logs, or retains that content. Classification happens in-flight and the data is immediately discarded. Your emails stay yours.
Gmail filters sort spam after it arrives — they don't change the economics of sending it. Moat creates a barrier before messages reach you, which fundamentally shifts sender incentives. And it's completely free to use.
All contacts you've previously communicated with are automatically whitelisted. Moat only applies toll rules to genuinely unknown senders. Critical senders like banks, healthcare providers, and government domains are permanently exempt.
Most legitimate senders with serious intent will pay a small toll. Those who won't? That tells you something. You can also configure a schedule-a-call flow where senders book time with you instead — which you approve or deny.
