Learn how SimpleLogin's email alias service protects your inbox, how it integrates with Proton Pass, and what the free and premium plans include.
SimpleLogin is an email alias service that generates disposable, forwarding email addresses so users never have to give their real email address to a website, newsletter, or online account. Messages sent to an alias are forwarded to the user's real inbox, and replies can be sent from the alias without revealing the underlying address.
Founded in 2019, SimpleLogin grew as an open-source alternative to proprietary alias services, offering browser extensions, mobile apps, and a web dashboard for managing aliases.
In April 2022, Proton AG acquired SimpleLogin to strengthen its privacy product suite. SimpleLogin continues to operate as its own service while also powering alias creation inside Proton Pass, Proton's password manager.
Users can create unlimited email aliases on the Premium plan (10 on the free plan), each of which forwards to a designated mailbox and can be disabled instantly if it starts receiving spam or is linked to a data breach.
SimpleLogin supports custom domains and catch-all aliasing, so users or businesses can generate on-the-fly aliases under their own domain rather than relying only on SimpleLogin's shared domains.
The service integrates with Proton Pass, giving Proton subscribers built-in alias generation alongside password management, plus PGP encryption support and browser extensions for major browsers.
The Free plan includes 10 aliases, one mailbox, unlimited bandwidth, reply-from-alias capability, and access to browser extensions and mobile apps.
The Premium plan is priced at $4 per month or $36 per year, and following integration with Proton Pass, new subscribers are billed around $2.99 per month ($35.88 per year), which also includes Proton Pass Plus features like unlimited vaults and a built-in two-factor authenticator.
Premium unlocks unlimited aliases, unlimited custom domains, catch-all domain support, multiple mailboxes, and PGP encryption, with payment accepted via card, PayPal, Apple Pay, and select cryptocurrencies.
