Gmail account pricing between vendors and forwarding steps.
⚠️ Updated March 2026
Account type requirement: Accounts MUST include a recovery email. Basic accounts without recovery email require ~1hr/10 accounts of extra manual work to add one. Buy accounts with recovery email pre-included (e.g. AccsMarket "With Additional Email" tier).
Estimated actual cost per successfully processed account (as of Feb–Mar 2026): ~$1.11–$1.44 (includes account cost + failed/replaced account overhead).

Based on what we have going with the current vendor right now. $80/200 Gmail accounts is $0.4/account.
If we are looking for a cheaper (extra Gmail adder PH worker) option maybe we could declare $0.2/account. And only pay per account.
Creation of accounts/hr.*$0.2 = $2/hr.
However, this is just a rough estimate since per experience 5SIM sometimes gives non-working numbers and sometimes generates the number for several minutes.
For the existing vendor websites checked in the past, see the table above for updated prices.
The cheapest is AccsMarket, where you can get Gmail accounts for as low as $0.01 per account (basic, no recovery email). However, some of these accounts are not verified by phone and may have security issues. Recovery email accounts are now required — do not buy basic tier.
⚙️ Automated pipeline — buy-gmail-account skill (July 2026)
Erol's manual flow is now automated end-to-end by the Claude Code skill
~/.claude/skills/buy-gmail-account/ (Linear SC-3863). Four gated scripts:
buy.sh → pay.sh → secure.sh → verify-refund.sh.
Account spec (hard requirement — no basic/fresh tier)
Flow
pay.sh, crypto — HARD-GATED): top up the vendor's prepaid crypto
balance. Dry-run by default; a real send needs --execute + a --to
deposit address + a confirm gate, and is bounded by a hard USD cap
(BGA_MAX_SPEND_USD, default $25). The actual transaction is delegated to the
audited coinbase/crypto rails.
Buy (buy.sh): --check reads the live tier price + balance read-only;
--execute stages + confirms the purchase (deducts prepaid balance).
Capture creds: vendor delivers email:password:recovery[:2fa]; stored raw
in $AGENT_SCRATCH (gitignored) and parsed to a per-account ledger.
Secure within 24h (CRITICAL — secure.sh): for EACH account, log in via
an isolated throwaway Patchright profile + residential/VPN proxy (never a
personal Google session, never the default browser — the Erol protocol) and
rotate the password immediately. Rationale: the vendor or a reseller can
change the password inside the delivery window; we must lock it first. The new
password + recovery is stored in 1Password (Shared). Walls escalate
captcha-solver → human-handoff. This step is schedulable via a Mantis
cron card so it fires even if the session ends.
Auto-refund bad accounts (verify-refund.sh): if login fails, the account
is locked/disabled, or password-rotation fails → mark BAD and
automatically file the vendor's replacement/refund dispute referencing the
order id. Per-account status tracked in the ledger.
Guardrails
--execute + confirm + hard spend cap.
One isolated proxied Patchright profile per account; captcha/human-handoff
fallback.
Creds only in 1Password + $AGENT_SCRATCH, never committed.
