Overview#
SimpleLogin is one of the best-known email alias services and has been part of Proton since 2022. Both SimpleLogin and AliasFleet sit in front of your existing inbox, forward mail without storing message bodies on disk, and let you reply from your aliases.
On SimpleLogin, the free tier gives you 10 aliases on shared domains, while subdomains, PGP encryption, and extra directories require a paid plan. SimpleLogin also forwards HTML emails without stripping embedded 1x1 tracking pixels or scrubbing tracking parameters from links.
AliasFleet includes 3 auto-provisioned personal subdomains on the free plan alongside 10 active aliases. On Pro ($7/mo Founders Club, $12/mo regular) and Business ($17/mo Founders Club, $29/mo regular), AliasFleet adds tracker pixel stripping, link parameter scrubbing, Email X-Ray header forensics, vendor leak detection, an in-app Quick Send composer, and HMAC-signed webhooks.
Feature comparison#
Here is how AliasFleet and SimpleLogin compare across mail routing, privacy controls, custom domains, and pricing.
Why look for a SimpleLogin alternative#
Three personal subdomains on the free plan#
SimpleLogin restricts subdomains to paid subscribers. Free users can only create individual aliases on shared public domains.
AliasFleet provisions 3 personal subdomains (@username.aliasfleet.com) automatically when you create a free account. On Pro and Business plans, you can add custom managed subdomains and rename handles with a 30-day cooldown and permanent handle retirement protection.
Tracker stripping, link scrubbing, and Email X-Ray#
SimpleLogin forwards the HTML body of incoming emails as-is, leaving tracker blocking to whichever email client you open the message in. If you read mail in a client that loads remote images or click a tracked marketing link, the sender logs your activity.
On Pro and Business plans, AliasFleet strips known 1x1 tracking pixels and scrubs tracking query parameters (utm_*, fbclid, gclid) at the mail server before forwarding. You can also open Email X-Ray to inspect raw MIME headers, relay hops, and authentication verdicts, or use 1-click vendor leak remediation if a company shares your alias.
Quick Send web composer, webhooks, and scoped API keys#
Sending a new email from an alias in SimpleLogin requires creating a reverse-alias contact in the dashboard and copying that encoded address into your third-party mail client.
AliasFleet supports mail-client Send-From encoding as well, and adds an in-app Quick Send web composer on Pro (50 sends/day, 10 MB attachments) and Business (200 sends/day, 25 MB attachments). For developers, AliasFleet provides HMAC-SHA256 webhooks, native Slack and Discord cards, raw RFC 822 MIME payloads, and scoped REST API keys.
