Alias Email vs anon.li

Alias Email creates alternative email addresses that forward messages to a primary inbox, helping users keep their main address private and organize incoming mail. Aliases can use personal or business domains, send anonymous email, and forward to multiple recipients. The browser extension can generate an alias from an email field, including in website forms, popups, modals, and online chats; it is listed for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, and Tor. Alias Email says it removes trackers from forwarded messages and allows a PGP public key to encrypt messages before forwarding, while the user keeps the private key. Forwarded mail is not stored except during service outages, when it may be held temporarily for up to three days. The service says it uses TLS, SPF, and DKIM, is GDPR compliant, and does not sell or disclose user data. Its free plan includes 10 aliases and one custom domain. Premium costs $39.96 a year, equivalent to $3.33/month billed annually, and includes unlimited aliases and two custom domains. There are no mobile apps.

anon.li combines private email aliases, encrypted file sharing, and confidential forms in one account. Aliases forward messages to verified inboxes, allow replies without revealing a real address, and remove known tracking pixels and tracking parameters from forwarded HTML email. Drop encrypts files in the browser with AES-256-GCM and supports transfers up to 250GB; recipients can decrypt them in a browser without an account. Form supports confidential intake such as whistleblowing, patient intake, and legal contact. Each form uses its own P-256 keypair, and submitters' browsers encrypt answers with AES-256-GCM. The service has a REST API, CLI, MCP server, and browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome. Optional TOTP two-factor authentication includes backup codes. The maker says alias mail is forwarded rather than stored in a hosted mailbox, while Drop and Form content is stored as ciphertext. The free plan includes 10 aliases, one custom alias, one recipient, 5GB bandwidth, a 5GB maximum file size, three-day file expiry, three forms, and 50 submissions per month. Paid plans start at $2.49/mo; no free trial is offered.
