How to choose temporary email tools
A temporary email address lets you sign up for something without giving out your real inbox. The three tools listed here all do that basic job. What sets them apart is how long the address lasts, what you pay, and where you can use it.
- Address lifespan. 10 Minute Mail gives you an address that expires after 10 minutes. That suits one-off confirmation links, but it won't help if you need the inbox again later. Guerrilla Mail and Temp-Mail are general disposable inbox services.
- Pricing model. 10 Minute Mail is completely free and needs no signup. Guerrilla Mail and Temp-Mail are freemium. Guerrilla Mail's paid plans start at $0.83/mo and Temp-Mail's start at $5/mo.
- Platforms and API. Temp-Mail is the only one with iOS and Android apps. Guerrilla Mail and Temp-Mail both offer an API, which matters if you're automating sign-up tests. 10 Minute Mail is web-only.
- Open source. Guerrilla Mail is the only listed tool that's open source, if you want to check how it works.
