Re: Hey.com vs. Fastmail. A Review
#2After watching the 36 minute video on Hey, I signed up for a trial and forwarded my email to it.
I already pay for ProtonMail and FastMail, both excellent products. I honestly don’t know how I will feel about Hey after using it for a week or two, but I must say that there are a lot of good ideas.
They are really product and software artists.

#3I signed up for the HEY trial and then ended up a paying customer after it ended. We'll see how I feel after the first year. I am just forwarding my email to it from a G Suite account so luckily there was no migration process involved and I am only emailing a few close friends/family. If I end up not liking it then I will have an easy move back to G Suite.

I have not tried Hey.com yet and respect the author for the comparison of the two email platforms, but here’s two points:
1). Fastmail has custom domains to the nth degree (I have 20+ domains there, not certain how many Hey is planning to support and if they’re willing to handle replies from each)
2). Gmail or Yahoo seem to be a more appropriate review in these early days
Just my 2 cents ;)

Other than the most important bit of information, that you saw the email. They also get to know when you saw it.

>> I have 20+ domains there
can you expand on this? Are all domains under a single "user" account? the Fastmail web site is rather unclear about multiple domains and multiple addresses per domain. thx

1. Absolutely! This is in the conclusion of the post - I suggest HEY won’t match this.
2. I disagree here because Fastmail and HEY are both paid-for services, so the target market is likely similar. I could be wrong of course!

Yes, you just add new domains in the settings. It’s incredibly powerful. For each domain you can have seemingly unlimited addresses, either mapped to your main user account or as a forwarder. If you want multiple accounts (ie. different users logging into to individual accounts) for a domain then you have to pay for each.
