Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 0 of the 122 other email apps we grade
MXroute hosts email for your own domains over SMTP, IMAP and POP3 and gives customers its own webmail client. Plans are priced by storage, not by user, and every plan allows unlimited domains and accounts. The company says it has been run by its operators since 2013.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about MXroute, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The vendor expects you to know email basics, and support answers by ticket.
- 1
Best for mail hosting with unlimited domains and accounts
MXroute hosts mail with unlimited domains and accounts per plan, from $59 a year for 10 GB.

- 3
It runs on Web

- 4
Unlimited domains and accounts
Every plan covers any number of domains and mailboxes, so the price follows storage, not seats.

Keep it
To replace MXroute you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace MXroute you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 121 of the 122 other email apps grade higher. It costs $59 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
What this rests on. MXroute’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
