Temp-Mail.org vs TempInbox

Temp-Mail.org provides disposable email addresses so you can receive messages without using your regular inbox. Addresses are available without registration. You can copy an address, refresh its inbox, change it, or delete it; the service does not send email. The free plan includes receiving messages with attachments and downloading them as EML files, with messages stored for up to 1–2 hours. Premium extends storage to one month and includes up to 10 simultaneous mailboxes, premium domains, private addresses, and no ads. Premium monthly costs $10 a month, billed monthly and auto-renewing; yearly costs $60 a year, billed yearly and auto-renewing. Both plans are desktop web only. The service is also available on Android, iOS, as an extension, and through an API. Its API supports automated email workflow testing with Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or Puppeteer. Some government services and major financial institutions cannot send messages to it, and certain role addresses cannot be read. Messages in the public system may be visible to other users, so the service advises against using it for confidential information or important accounts.

TempInbox is a free web service for temporary email inboxes without signup. It is intended for verification messages, trials and low-trust registrations, with developers, QA teams and privacy-conscious users among its stated audiences. One browser can hold up to three inboxes, and access is saved in that browser. The Free plan costs nothing and has no 10-minute timer, but inbox lifetime is custom. Messages may be soft-deleted and later removed in scheduled batches, so long-term storage is not guaranteed. The browser interface lets users view, download and clear messages, including attachments. Hosted TempInbox is receive-only: it has no sending, replies or forwarding, and no supported public API or SDK. It works in Android and iPhone mobile browsers without an app. The maker describes privacy and security as best-effort and warns that messages may be exposed, delayed, removed or inaccessible. It advises against banking, medical, legal, payroll and other high-stakes accounts requiring lasting confidentiality.
