I can vouch for purelymail ( https://purelymail.com/ ), it's simply amazing. Their only rule is basically no marketing emails. It's also quite affordable compared to others.

I have some domains on migadu, one on mxroute, and one on purely mail. I have my Mai domain on google, and seriously thinking of eventually moving everything to purely mail.

I bought the mxroute lifetime membership, but the storage is kinda low (10g). Also Got bit with the migadu price mess in 2020. The purely mail model of pay for what you use makes sense to me. The developer is responsive and says it’s profitable.

I have many legacy Google Workspace domains setup for friends and family who are not tech savvy. They are all comfortable with the Gmail interface, so it will be hard to move many of them to a new interface.

I have looked at the companies mentioned and came to much the same conclusion. Currently I am contemplating ImprovMX (https://improvmx.com) which could provide an SMTP server and allow those domains to continue to use Google's no-cost option (https://support.google.com/a/answer/60217#nocost). If this option is anything like GMail it should be possible to setup the 'send mail as' account as the default to continue sending and receiving mail from the custom domain using ImprovMX's SMTP.

I suspect the no-cost option will be nothing like Gmail. My guess is that they'll allow use to use everything except Gmail.

Previous Migadu user, current Mxroute user

Both are excellent, Migadu raised prices so I snagged a lifetime Mxroute sub for $100 and have been content. Migadu gave seemingly more control and cleaner admin interface, Mxroute seems a bit slopped together but like I said, has worked flawlessly and was happy with both

I tried purelymail and it's a good service for the money. The only problem I had is that the spam filtering is really bad.

I have been using MXRoute continuously for the last 3-4 years as both my own personal email service, as well as reselling it to several of my clients for their business email services. The pricing is hard to beat, but the service is sort of no frills. It's been 100% reliable since I began using it, but the UI, documentation, and process for setting up domains with LetsEncrypt SSL and DKIM/SPF is... unrefined is a goo…

There's some good feedback in there and I appreciate it!
