Hushmail vs VibeMail

Hushmail provides encrypted email, secure web forms, and electronic signatures for individuals and businesses. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web, supports custom domains, and works with IMAP and SMTP. Hushmail says it combines OpenPGP with SSL/TLS, with messages between Hushmail customers remaining OpenPGP-encrypted on its servers. Secure-message recipients use an inbox link and may sign in with Google, Outlook, or Apple. Healthcare forms support encrypted responses, signatures, and templates for intake, assessments, file transfer, and appointment requests. Every healthcare plan includes a signed Business Associate Agreement, and the company says its healthcare service supports HIPAA compliance. Personal Use starts with 15 GB and unlimited aliases but is not intended for healthcare professionals and lacks an archive, BAA, and IMA. Personal Basic costs $59.99 a year; healthcare plans start at $14.99 a month.

VibeMail provides encrypted private email with multiple addresses, custom domains, and a transactional email API. It runs on Android, iOS, web, and through an API. Message bodies are encrypted at rest and in transit; the maker says it cannot read mail sealed with a password-derived key. Each alias has its own encryption identity. VibeMail says it shows no ads, does not profile users, and does not train models on customer mail. Incoming mail is scanned for spam and malware before encryption. The API supports templates, webhooks, delivery tracking, and suppression handling, with SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust, plus MCP and REST access. IMAPS, submission, and POP3S are supported, and the maker says Apple Mail, Gmail, and Outlook on mobile can connect through IMAP and SMTP. The free plan costs nothing forever with one encrypted address, 500 MB storage, and web access. Paid plans start at $2.99 a month; overage sends cost $0.60 per 1,000.
