Alternatives
SimpleLogin alternatives
SimpleLogin forwards aliases to a mailbox you already have. If you want unlimited standard aliases, a mailbox that stores the mail itself, or a different payment method, these are the services to check and what each trades away.
Last verified 14 November 2026
Why people look for a SimpleLogin alternative
- You want the mailbox and the aliases in one service, so forwarded mail does not pass through a second provider.
- You want to pay for the service with crypto directly. SimpleLogin lists Bitcoin and Monero through a reseller.
- You want a free plan with more than 10 aliases.
What to check before you choose
- Whether it is a forwarding service or a mailbox that stores your mail.
- Whether you can reply from an alias, and on which plan.
- Free limits: number of aliases, monthly bandwidth and custom domains.
- Whether you need an existing email address to sign up.
- Whether the code is open source and who owns the service.
A shortlist, with the trade-offs
addy.io
Best for: Unlimited forwarding aliases on your own username, open-source code and a very low entry price, if you already have a mailbox.
Trade-off: It forwards to another provider, the free plan has no replies and only 10 MB of forwarded mail a month.
Firefox Relay
Best for: Quick masks from a large, well-known organisation, with a browser extension, if you already have an email address.
Trade-off: It needs an account with a verified email address, the free plan has 5 masks and no replies, and its premium tier was on a waitlist when we checked.
Fastmail
Best for: A polished, long-running paid mailbox with Masked Email on every plan, custom domains and a choice of EU or US data residency.
Trade-off: No free plan, no end-to-end encryption in its own apps, and payment only by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
VaelMail
Best for: Signing up with no phone number or recovery email, keeping sites apart with receive-only aliases, paying in crypto with no card, and reaching your mail over Tor or without JavaScript.
Trade-off: A lost account number cannot be recovered. Free cannot send. The encrypted mailbox is optional and not zero-knowledge, and VaelMail is a small independent service without the apps, integrations or track record of the large providers.
