Terms of Service Review
addy.io is an open-source email forwarding service designed to protect users' real addresses. The terms and privacy policy emphasize minimal data collection, encryption, and short retention periods.
Minimal email retention
Emails are only stored in the event of a failed delivery, and rely on the user having explicitly enabled this option in their account settings.
Short log retention
Web and mail server logs, which record IP addresses, are rotated daily and deleted permanently after three days.
Data encryption at rest
Sensitive database records, including recipient email addresses, alias descriptions, and public GPG keys, are encrypted at rest.
No third-party tracking
The service uses a self-hosted analytics tool (Umami) that does not use cookies, collect personal data, or utilize persistent identifiers for tracking.
Free account limitations
Registering multiple free accounts is considered abuse and may result in immediate account termination.
Jurisdiction and hosting
The service operates under the laws of England and Wales, while user data is stored on servers located in the Netherlands.

Addy is great. Been using it for a long time now, I have over 200 aliases. It has all the features I want, and It accepts MOnero directly, which Simplelogin does not. For me, the best aliasing service.

Great service with very competitive pricing and polished UX. My only and very minor complaint is that the Android app is distributed by a third party developer.
I've been using them for about 3 years now an had 0 issues. Very good service.
This is only service that accepts tor registration, which is something I am glad about. Not only is it a great alternative to SimpleLogin, but a great service for email aliasing that is unlimited. There is no problems, just that it only accepts Tor registrations and emails that are obscure such as cock.li for example. Overall, great service, and I highly recommend it over SimpleLogin (unified ecosystems are a huge unacceptable risks btw).
My experience with this service is positive. Payment via XMR is possible and the service is very reliable.
Have been using them for years. Pretty good little service, they accept monero and have very good pricing. I recommend it over SimpleLogin, which is owned by Proton. Little personal advice for proton users: don't put all your eggs in the same basket.
Useful service. Can use some improved UI, but it's easy and independent
