10 Minute Mail vs Maildrop

10 Minute Mail provides disposable email addresses for website sign-ups, letting you receive messages without sharing your regular address. Incoming mail appears automatically on the webpage, where you can read it and open links; replies and forwarding to a personal account are also supported. An address expires after 10 minutes, and its countdown can be reset for another 10 minutes. You do not need to register or provide information to get an address. The free plan costs nothing and includes a temporary address with the resettable timer. The service lists Android, iOS, and web platforms, along with custom domains and attachments; inbox protection is listed as none. Its security information says session data and email stay in RAM, are erased when the session ends, and are protected in transit with HTTPS/TLS. The privacy policy also says it may collect usage details such as IP address, browser information, visit times, and pages visited, and describes third-party tracking and advertising cookies. The FAQ advises against using it for important accounts that may need password resets because the address expires.

Maildrop provides temporary disposable email inboxes for receiving messages without sharing a real address. It requires no signup or password and supports custom addresses, making it suitable for one-off purchases and website registrations. Developers can use a GraphQL API to retrieve mailbox listings and messages, delete messages, and automate email testing. Incoming mail passes through Heluna antispam filters, which Maildrop says reduce spam by more than 90%. Every inbox is public, so other users can read its messages, and Maildrop cannot send email. Plain-text and HTML messages under 500k are accepted; attachments are removed. An inbox holds at most 10 messages, and inactive inboxes may be cleared after 24 hours or sooner. Mail servers not previously seen may be greylisted, delaying delivery by at least 15 minutes and sometimes up to an hour. Maildrop says it logs email and web connections and does not promise complete anonymity. The service is free and available through its web interface and API.
