Tired of spam and being tracked online through your personal email address? Email aliases are the solution. SimpleLogin provides you with a different anonymous email address (aka email alias) whenever you sign up for a new online service, allowing you to hide your personal email address from spammers. Emails sent to an alias are forwarded to your personal inbox. Want to reply to a forwarded email? Just hit reply and the response will be sent from your alias, keeping your personal address hidden. Not only can an alias receive emails, it can also send emails. An alias is a full-fledged email address. You can create a new alias when subscribing to a newsletter, signing up for a new account, or giving your email to someone you don't trust. If you receive spam to that address, simply disable the alias. When you give away your personal email online, there is a good chance it will end up in the hands of a spammer or hacker. SimpleLogin acts as a firewall to protect your personal inbox. Over 2 million SimpleLogin aliases have been created, making SimpleLogin one of the world’s best-known email alias services. --- Why SimpleLogin? - Generous free plan: unlike other alias services, you can create up to 10 aliases using the free plan, and there's no cap on bandwidth or the number of replies and sends.

SimpleLogin is verified to be secure and reliable. - Private by default. SimpleLogin forwards your emails, but does not save them. We use secure infrastructure in Switzerland, operated by Proton Mail, the world's largest encrypted email service. With a premium plan, you can: - Add your own domain and create aliases such as reddit@my-domain.com or twitter@my-domain.com. You can also enable catch-all email addresses for your domain. - If you don't have a domain, use a subdomain provided by SimpleLogin instead. - Send emails from aliases: not only can you can reply to a forwarded email, you can also initiate a new conversation from your alias. - If you have several mailboxes, you can add them into SimpleLogin and choose which one to use when creating an alias. - If your mailbox supports PGP, enable PGP on SimpleLogin, and emails will be encrypted by SimpleLogin before being forwarded to your mailbox.

AWARENESS FOR THE CONNECTED WORLD Perimeter helps you understand the connected technology around you. Built with patent-pending technology, Perimeter observes supported wireless signals and helps identify patterns that may be consistent with potentially unwanted trackers, smart glasses, and other privacy-relevant devices—then surfaces what deserves your attention. QUIET MONITORING Perimeter can monitor supported Bluetooth activity in the background and notify you when a finding meets its alert criteria. When nothing meaningful appears, it stays out of the way. SCAN YOUR SURROUNDINGS Use Area Scan for a quick look at nearby Bluetooth activity and anything Perimeter believes deserves a closer look. CHECK A PLACE Take a closer look at a hotel, rental, room, or unfamiliar location using Bluetooth observations, local-network clues, and optional guided physical checks. JOURNEY MODE Look for relevant signals that persist as your surroundings change—helping distinguish something that stays with you from activity that simply happens to be nearby. SMART-GLASSES AWARENESS Perimeter can surface supported signal patterns that may be consistent with smart glasses, while clearly communicating the strength and limitations of the available evidence. FOUND A PHYSICAL TRACKER? Photograph what you found, check compatible NFC information, and review practical next steps. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Perimeter processes observations on your iPhone. No account is required, and your scan history and location context remain on your device. HONEST ABOUT LIMITATIONS Wireless detection has real limits. Perimeter cannot detect every tracker, camera, recorder, wearable, or surveillance method, and some nearby devices may produce no signal your iPhone can observe. Perimeter separates observation from identification and communicates uncertainty when the evidence is incomplete rather than guessing. Perimeter is designed to provide awareness, context, and practical next steps—not a guarantee that an environment is safe.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Perimeter at none against SimpleLogin's 2. Perimeter also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). SimpleLogin's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
