Why people switch

Apple's Hide My Email Has Real Limitations

Apple Devices Only

Apple's Hide My Email requires an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running iOS 15+ or macOS Monterey. If you switch to Android, use a Windows PC, or share a device - you lose access. Scrapify aliases work in any browser on any device, always.

iCloud+ Subscription Required

Hide My Email is an iCloud+ feature - you need a paid iCloud storage plan (50GB, 200GB, or 2TB) to access it. Scrapify gives you private email aliases on the free plan with no subscription required.

Locked to Apple's Ecosystem

Apple's aliases use the @privaterelay.appleid.com domain - immediately identifiable as Apple. Managing them requires Apple's own settings menus. Scrapify lets you manage all aliases from a simple web dashboard on any device.

Sign up with any email address from any device. No Apple ID. No credit card. Takes under a minute.

Open Private Email Aliases in your account
Log in, go to your account page, and find the Private Email Aliases section. Click Generate Alias - your new address is created instantly.
3
Use the alias wherever you'd give your email
Copy the alias and paste it into any signup form, contact field, or newsletter. The site never sees your real email address.
4
Emails arrive in your real inbox
Every message sent to the alias is forwarded straight to you. Delete the alias any time to permanently cut off that sender - no unsubscribe links, no waiting.

FAQ

Common Questions

A Hide My Email alternative is a service that generates a private email alias - a random address that forwards all emails to your real inbox without revealing your actual address to the sender. Apple offers this through iCloud+ but it only works on Apple devices. Scrapify's Private Email Aliases work on any device including Android and Windows.
No. Apple's Hide My Email is exclusively available on Apple devices running iOS 15+ or macOS Monterey+. It requires an active iCloud+ subscription and an Apple ID. Android and Windows users cannot use Apple's Hide My Email. Scrapify aliases work on every device and operating system - all you need is a browser.
No. Scrapify's Private Email Aliases have no connection to Apple whatsoever. You create a free Scrapify account with any email address and immediately generate aliases from your account page - no Apple ID, no iCloud+ subscription, no Apple device required.
Yes. Scrapify offers free private email aliases to all registered users. Free accounts include up to 3 active aliases with instant email forwarding. No credit card required to sign up. Premium accounts get up to 20 aliases along with unlimited product scraping and live feeds.
When you sign up to a website using an alias instead of your real email, that site never stores your actual address. If the site sells your data, suffers a data breach, or starts sending spam - only the throwaway alias is exposed. You can delete that alias from your account page in seconds and the address stops working immediately.
Yes. Every forwarded email includes the original sender's address in the Reply-To field, so you can reply normally directly from your inbox. Your real email address is not revealed through the alias system.
The key differences: (1) Scrapify works on Android, Windows, and any device - Apple's version requires an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. (2) Scrapify has a free tier - Apple requires a paid iCloud+ subscription. (3) Scrapify aliases are managed from any web browser. (4) Both services forward email to your real inbox without exposing your address to senders.

Private email on your terms - not Apple's.

No iPhone needed. No iCloud+ subscription. Just create a free account and start generating aliases in seconds.
