Some feedback. Link directly to your site. A pr.com url looks scammy and unprofessional (to me).

There’s no mention of pricing. I know it’s in beta but products that don’t make it super easy to find pricing are an instant no for me. I’m not even downloading.

Finally, the web page mentions “ethically sourced contacts”. It sounds like your mail client is going to store all of my contacts on your server. Putting the word “ethically” in front of this does not make it better. Why do you need my contacts on your server? Do the messages pass through your server? There’s no technical reason for this, so it just seems like data harvesting.

Thank you for the feedback about the web site. You are right, we will update our web site and put pricing information when it will be ready. Currently the application is in beta and free for use. Furthermore first 100 users provided feedback to the application will get a released version for free. Pricing will be easily affordable – about the price of a coffee for individuals or a client lunch for business users. You can find similar text on the web site.

Regarding “ethically sourced contacts”. Scailer finds an avatar and social profile links (linkedin, facebook) of a particular contact in the internet using the FullContact service as a data source. Scailer shows avatars of contacts in the left panel. That feature improves Scailer’s user experience. “Ethically” means that Scailer uses only public information: public avatars and public social profile links, and Scailer does not share that information to 3d-parties, and does not use it for advertisement. Scailer caches contact information retrieved from FullContact because of FullContact recommendation. Scailer does not store on any servers any link between email address of user and requested contact. You can find FullContact’s privacy policy here: https://www.fullcontact.com/privacy/privacy-policy/

Of course no messages are passed to the server. Scailer connects to a IMAP server (gmail, office365) using a secure channel and stores message cache in local encrypted database. It allows Scailer to work with old messages in offline mode as well as support other features like fast searching, message threading and others which improve Scailer's user experience, and at same time increase the application security. Due to strong encryption nobody will be able to read your data on your hard drive, for example if you lost it.
