Crypton.sh Email Aliases review: cheap, simple forwarding aliases
Crypton.sh's email aliasing service is the smallest product in the suite but a useful one if you're already a Crypton.sh user. At €1/month it sits at the cheap end of the privacy aliasing market and pairs naturally with the rest of the stack — a privacy-respecting phone number alongside a privacy-respecting email is a tidy pattern.
Verdict: Not as feature-rich as SimpleLogin or AnonAddy, but cheap, clean and in the same dashboard as your other Crypton.sh services. If you already use Crypton.sh for phone numbers, the aliasing add-on is a no-brainer.
What it is
Crypton.sh email aliases work the same way most modern aliasing services do. You create a unique address on one of several privacy-focused domains operated by Crypton.sh. Anything sent to that alias is forwarded to your real inbox (Gmail, ProtonMail, Tutanota, whatever you use). The sender never sees your real address. If the alias starts to receive spam, you disable or delete it and the spam stops.
Replies are rewritten so that responses from your real inbox appear to come from the alias, keeping the masking intact in both directions. That's the same model used by SimpleLogin and Apple's Hide My Email.
Features
- Multiple privacy-focused domains. Pick one that fits the use case so a casual observer can't fingerprint your aliases by domain alone.
- Forward to any inbox. No requirement to also use a particular email host.
- Pause or delete aliases. Cheapest possible spam mitigation: kill the alias.
- Reply through the alias. Sender always sees the alias, never your real address.
- Crypton.sh integration. Same login, same dashboard, same crypto-friendly billing.
- Custom domains. Listed as coming soon on the product page.
Pricing

Pros and cons
What we like
- Cheapest credible aliasing in the market at €1/month.
- Multiple domains so aliases aren't trivially fingerprintable.
- Same crypto-friendly billing as the rest of Crypton.sh.
- One dashboard for phone numbers, eSIM, mobile and email.
- Reply-through-alias supported.
What could be better
- Fewer features than SimpleLogin / AnonAddy (filters, mailbox routing, PGP).
- Custom domains are still on the roadmap.
- Not a standalone draw — most users will adopt this only if already on Crypton.sh.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Crypton.sh email alias?
A unique address (e.g. abc123@privacy-domain.tld) that forwards mail to your real inbox without revealing your real address.
Can I reply through an alias?
Yes. Replies are rewritten so the recipient sees the alias, not your real address.
Can I delete an alias if it starts to get spam?
Yes. Aliases can be paused or deleted at any time from the dashboard.
Which domains are available?
Multiple privacy-focused domains operated by Crypton.sh. Custom domains are on the roadmap.
Do I need a separate email host?
No. Aliases forward to whatever inbox you already use — Gmail, ProtonMail, Tutanota, your own server.
How does this compare to SimpleLogin or AnonAddy?
Less feature-rich, cheaper. Crypton.sh aliases are aimed at users who want one privacy vendor, not at email-power-users who need fine-grained rules and PGP.
