MailCatch vs TempoMail
Both stand on temporary email services. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan Web
MailCatch offers quick, no-sign-in inboxes and RSS access, but messages are temporary and inbox names do not protect privacy. Use a long, random name if you choose the free service.

Free plan APIExtensionWeb
TempoMail offers disposable inboxes with selectable retention, browser extensions, and a limited read-only API. Keep in mind that messages are deleted on expiry, and the access code cannot be recovered if lost.
