anon.li vs MailMask

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.

MailMask creates unique email aliases that forward incoming messages to an existing mailbox. Aliases can be created, disabled, or removed; disabling one immediately stops new mail from being accepted. MailMask is not a mailbox or email-provider replacement, and it cannot send messages from alias addresses. The service says it processes email only for forwarding and does not retain message content longer than technically necessary for delivery. Its infrastructure and data handling remain within Europe, under European law including the GDPR. MailMask says it uses no advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking, and does not sell or share user data. The Free plan costs nothing for aliases and forwarding, with no price or usage limits stated. The operator describes it as a personal risk-reduction layer, not for critical, account-recovery, or mission-critical communication. Availability is best-effort, and uninterrupted service is not guaranteed.
