QMailing vs Gmail aliases
Gmail's +tag and dot tricks all land in one inbox. QMailing gives every address its own real mailbox.
What Gmail aliases are
Gmail lets you tack +anything onto your address or scatter dots through it. Every variant still delivers to the same single inbox — handy for filtering, but it's one account wearing many name tags, not separate mailboxes.
| What you get | QMailing | Gmail aliases |
|---|---|---|
| What it actually is | Real, separate mailboxes | Tags on one inbox |
| Inbox & storage | Its own inbox + storage, each | One shared Gmail inbox |
| Permanence | Permanent — kept forever | Tied to one account |
| Send & reply | Native, from each address | Limited, per-alias setup |
| Custom domain | Yes, from the Plus plan | Workspace (paid) only |
| Scale | 3–400, one dashboard | A handful of practical tags |
Choose QMailing when
- You want each signup to have a truly separate inbox you can hand off, mute, or delete on its own.
- You need to send and reply as the address natively, without 'send mail as' gymnastics.
- One locked account shouldn't take every address down with it.
Choose Gmail aliases when
- You only need light filtering inside a single inbox you already live in.
- You're fine with every message pooling in one place.
- You don't need to send as a distinct, isolated identity.
The honest take
Gmail aliases are free and fine for sorting mail you already get. The moment you want addresses that live, send, and die independently, they're tags — not mailboxes.
