Addy.io review
Addy.io offers an email forwarding service where each site receives a unique alias that directs emails to your actual inbox. To get started, you only need to provide a username, password, and the real email address where your aliases will forward messages. The free plan allows unlimited standard aliases, while paid plans begin at $1 per month. Payment options include card and PayPal for any plan, with cryptocurrency accepted only for annual plans. The web server logs IP addresses, which are retained for 3 days. In our view, Addy.io suits people who want to keep their main address out of signups.
ID rule not stated
Addy.io's own pages do not give one answer on when it asks for ID.

How we read the terms
We do not give privacy services a score. We record what each provider's own pages say: when it asks for ID, the limits, who holds your coins and what it costs. Labels come from each provider's terms, never from our guess. How we read the terms
Our process
We take fees, availability, licenses and coin counts from primary sources: Addy.io's own fee schedules, terms and help pages, and the public registers kept by regulators. Every value carries the date we last checked it. The values on this page were checked on October 22, 2026.

Rules differ by country and change often. Check the rules where you live, or ask a qualified professional, before you use any service listed here.
