Which one is for you
Pick Migadu if
- Fits if you own a domain and want many addresses without per-mailbox prices
- Works for people who are comfortable setting up DNS records
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you need 2FA on mailboxes or encryption, as its own page says it has neither
- Skip it if you want phone or chat support, as it offers neither
- Tight if you send in volume: daily limits apply, and it says it's meant for human email, not bulk
- Watch out: Micro lacks mailbox limit settings, welcome messages and multi-administrator access
- Watch out: the interface is English only
Pick Neo Mail if
- Fits if you want a business mailbox on your own domain for a few dollars
- Works for a small team that can all be on the same plan
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want more than 1 template or contact group, as Starter has just 1 of each
- Watch out: a single plan applies to every mailbox in an organisation, with no mixing
- Watch out: you need a custom domain, though a free co.site domain is offered
- Watch out: the page was running a sale, so the monthly figure isn't what a new customer is sure to pay
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as the entry is a 15-day trial

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
