Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

FairEmail is a privacy oriented email app on fdroid which uses donation to activate pro features. €0.10 to activate one time and €7.50 for unlimited future devices. I think it’s a pretty fair deal.

It’s a fair deal, but the point is it’s not a donation. You can purchase pro features, and that’s great. But it’s not a donation if you get a product in return, that’s just a purchase.

You can use it for free, you just need to donate to get rid of the banner and to get all features.
The bare functionality is in fact free
