Comparison

MailFlusher vs SimpleLogin

Both services let you create email aliases to protect your real address. Here's an honest comparison so you can pick the one that fits you.

Pick MailFlusher if…

  • You want a service hosted entirely in the EU, outside US legal reach.
  • You prefer monthly billing over annual lock-in.
  • You want a powerful alias feature set (rules, custom domains, GPG, full API) without the Proton ecosystem tie-in.
  • You like knowing exactly who runs the service and where.

Pick SimpleLogin if…

  • You already use Proton Mail / Proton Pass and want everything in one account.
  • You want polished browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and mobile apps.
  • You prefer a larger, more established brand with full-time staff.
  • You're fine with annual billing (~$30/year) and don't mind a Swiss-hosted service.

Where SimpleLogin is stronger

Ecosystem. SimpleLogin is owned by Proton, so if you already use Proton Mail or Proton Pass, everything lives under one account. MailFlusher is independent — there's no bundled mailbox.

Native apps and extensions — today. Official browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, plus iOS and Android apps shipping now. We have Chrome and Firefox extensions and a mobile app in development, but they're not released yet — alias creation currently happens in the web UI or via API.

Brand recognition. SimpleLogin has been around longer and has a larger team behind it. If having a well-known brand matters to you, that's a real factor.

Where MailFlusher is stronger

EU jurisdiction. We operate entirely from Sweden under GDPR. No US subsidiary, no CLOUD Act exposure. SimpleLogin is also outside the US, but our single-jurisdiction Swedish footprint is simpler to reason about.

Monthly billing. Our Standard plan is €1/month and Pro is €5/month — month-to-month. SimpleLogin Premium is annual-only at ~$30/year.

Deep power-user feature set. Advanced filtering rules, per-alias recipient routing, auto-create regex, multiple usernames for compartmentalization — MailFlusher was originally based on Addy.io, inheriting its reputation as one of the most customizable alias services on the market, and has been heavily extended since.

Burner aliases, leak attribution, and tracker stripping. MailFlusher ships three privacy features SimpleLogin doesn't offer today: auto-expiring "burner" aliases (by time or email count), per-alias leak detection that flags when an unexpected sender shows up on an alias you only ever gave to one brand, and an opt-in pixel + link-proxy tracker stripper that removes 1×1 tracking images and rewrites UTM/click-tracker parameters before they reach your inbox.

Independent operation. No parent company, no acquisition risk, no product-bundling pressure. Just email forwarding done well.
