What SimpleLogin is
SimpleLogin is an email aliasing service that forwards mail sent to aliases on to a real mailbox and lets users reply from the alias. It is a product of Proton AG, registered in Switzerland, and its servers are hosted with Proton and UpCloud. The code is open source and the site publishes self-hosting instructions. The free plan includes 10 aliases and one mailbox; Premium costs $36 per year or $4 per month and adds unlimited aliases, custom domains and PGP encryption, plus Proton Pass premium features. Card payments go through Paddle, and for cryptocurrency the site points to the reseller ProxyStore, which accepts Bitcoin and Monero. No refunds are offered because a trial period is available.
