An objective comparison of private and/or secure email services
🌐 email-comparison.as93.net

The aim of Email-Comparison is to provide an objective comparison of so-called private and/or secure email services, so that you can make an informed decision about which provider to use.

This is a community-maintained resource, so if you spot something that should be updated/added/removed, please submit a pull request or raise an issue. Or share your thoughts and feedback for an email provider, by writing a short review.

• 📧 All data is stored in email-provider-data.yml (in YAML format).
• 🌐 Website published to email-comparison.as93.net is built with Lit on Astro.
• ⭐ All mail service reviews are submitted here, via GitHub Discussions.

Contributions of any type are welcome! All provider data is located in the email-provider-data.yml file. Please see the Contributing docs for more info.

git clone https://github.com/Lissy93/email-comparison.git
cd email-comparison/web
yarn install
yarn dev # Then pop open localhost:4321 to see the running app

To deploy the app, either run yarn build and then upload the contents of ./dist to any web server/ static hosting provider or CDN, or simply run with yarn start.

Alternatively, to deploy to a cloud static hosting provider, just fork the repo, and then either:

• Trigger the Deploy Workflow workflow, which will build the app into the gh-pages branch and publish to GitHub pages, or any other location you like
• Or, just import your fork into Vercel, Netlify or similar provider, and it will be automatically deployed to a domain of your choice.

We also have a Docker image published, which can be run with: docker run -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/lissy93/email-comparison:latest

There's a (non-Microsoft) mirror of this repository hosted on CodeBerg, at codeberg.org/alicia/email-comparison

The info is most easily consumed via the website, which can be accessed at: email-comparison.as93.net
The source for the website is in web/, and it uses the data from email-provider-data.yml
