Maski vs Spamex
Both stand on email alias services. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan ExtensionWeb
Choose Maski if you want forwarding aliases with sender controls and a Chrome or Firefox signup extension. The free plan covers basic alias forwarding, while Pro adds higher limits, sending and replies, custom domains, and held mail. Look elsewhere if you need mobile apps or more than 25 aliases on Pro.

Spamex offers address-level controls, reply protection through its service, and personal-domain support for eligible paid subscribers. Keep in mind that forwarding to another real address or using reply all outside Spamex can expose your real address.
