Paced Email vs SimpleLogin

A SimpleLogin alternative for people whose real problem is inbox noise

SimpleLogin is an excellent privacy-first alias manager. But if every alias still forwards instantly, you've protected your address and kept all the interruptions. Paced Email adds the missing piece: aliases that deliver on a schedule you choose.

The short version

Choose Paced Email if you want alias privacy and fewer interruptions: newsletters, signups, and receipts batched into digests instead of trickling in all day.

Same aliases, different philosophy

Both products hide your real address behind aliases you can create, pause, and delete. The difference is what happens next: SimpleLogin relays messages straight through, while Paced Email asks a second question. Does this message need to interrupt you now, or can it arrive in Saturday's digest?

When SimpleLogin is the better fit

If open source, self-hosting, or Proton ecosystem integration top your list, SimpleLogin earns its reputation. Privacy maximalists who want to audit the code and run their own instance are well served there, and Paced Email doesn't pretend to compete on that axis.

Switching is low-stakes

Nothing about trying Paced Email disturbs your existing setup. Create a few aliases, put your noisiest newsletters on a weekly digest, and see how your inbox feels. Your SimpleLogin aliases keep working throughout.

Can I use both together?
Yes. Some people keep SimpleLogin for high-security accounts and use Paced Email for newsletters and shopping, where digests shine.
Does Paced Email support unlimited aliases?
Yes, Premium plans include unlimited addresses, plus custom domains and team members.
Is there a free way to try it?
Yes. Every account starts with a free trial, so you can create aliases and experience digest delivery before paying anything.
