# How AliasFleet compares to other email alias services

Side-by-side comparisons with Cloudflare Email Routing, SimpleLogin, Addy.io, Fastmail, and Proton Pass across custom domains, replies, tracker removal, and pricing.

## Overview

Email alias tools fall into three main categories. DNS routers like Cloudflare Email Routing accept incoming mail on your own domain for free, while hosted mail providers like Fastmail bundle aliases inside a paid mailbox.

Dedicated forwarding services like AliasFleet, SimpleLogin, and Addy.io sit in front of the inbox you already use. They forward incoming mail without storing message bodies and let you reply from your aliases directly in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail.

On paid plans, AliasFleet also strips 1x1 tracking pixels before mail reaches you, flags aliases when unexpected senders write to them, and dispatches signed HTTP webhooks for incoming messages.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does AliasFleet store my emails?
No. Incoming mail is parsed in memory, rewritten with the alias Reply-To header, and forwarded to your destination inbox. Message bodies and attachments are not stored on disk.

### Can I move my custom domain from another alias service without losing mail?
Yes. Add your domain in AliasFleet, verify your inbox, create your aliases or turn on catch-all, and add the DKIM and SPF records before you change your MX record.

### Do I have to leave Gmail, Outlook, or Proton Mail to use AliasFleet?
No. AliasFleet forwards alias mail to the inbox you already use and lets you reply from that same inbox.
