Paced Email

Pros

Using this platform has been a really positive experience. It's user friendly, simple to navigate and it keeps improving over time. The developer is receptive to feedback, maintains a public roadmap (which is a big deal when it comes to trusting vendors and understanding where the product is headed) is clearly enthusiastic about making both the platform and the user experience better. Being able to use our own subdomain is incredibly valuable and having no limit on the number of unique email addresses we can create is a major advantage. Sending from those addresses is extremely useful too and you can even configure them for multiple recipients, similar to a mailing list. We also appreciate being able to create custom email addresses, choose how often messages are delivered and remove them if they start attracting spam. Also, the rules feature adds a lot of flexibility and customization. I could honestly keep listing reasons we're happy with it but it's one of those platforms that really speaks for itself once you start using it and just to be clear, I have no affiliation with the company.

Cons

There really isn't much to criticize over the long term. A few things we'd still like to have (such as a sent folder and the option to add a signature to outgoing emails) are already on their shortlist for upcoming improvements. We also mentioned that some fields should appear on the main settings page and they've already started moving those based on our feedback. If there's any downside for us, it's simply that we didn't start using it earlier.

Pros

Being able to create aliases or burner emails is really useful for signing up for newsletters without worrying about endless follow-ups or hunting down unsubscribe links later. I can just turn them off or delete them whenever I want. The custom domain support is another big plus though I'm not sure what the domain limit is and honestly I'd rather not ask in case that makes them add one. The Chrome extension also makes the whole process convenient since creating a burner email is pretty simple. The only extra step is choosing how often I want to get the digest.

Cons

A dedicated mobile app would make this even better. That said, I'm currently using it as a PWA so it's not causing much trouble for me right now.

Pros

Multiple aliases and email addresses can be bundled into digests and delivered weekly, monthly or even paused whenever needed. It also lets me keep emails stored in the mailbox without cluttering up my primary account.

Cons

My only regret is not signing up for more accounts when the price was lower since I underestimated how useful it would end up being. I also waited about six months after signing up before I actually started using it.
