What each one does differently

Maildoso

$75/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: SMTP mailboxes from $75/mo for 30, with MCP on every plan.

Stands out: MCP at mcp.maildoso.com plus REST so assistants can register domains and create mailboxes.

Watch out: Monthly plans skip domains ($12/year each). Cap is 1,000 mailboxes. A 30-day money-back window is not a trial.

Best for

Agencies that want cheap SMTP at volume
Teams automating inbox setup through MCP
Senders who will buy or connect their own domains

Mailforge

$3/mailbox/mo

Why it comes up: Shared-IP mailboxes from $3 each with a 10-slot minimum.

Stands out: Automated SPF, DKIM, and DMARC plus mailbox slots you can delete and recreate at no extra cost.

Watch out: Minimum 10 mailbox slots. No free trial. You pay for slots even if some sit empty. Separate from Infraforge and Primeforge.

Best for

Teams starting shared-IP outbound cheaply
Senders who expect some spam complaints
Buyers who want yearly mailbox billing

Primeforge

$4.50/mailbox/mo API

Why it comes up: Google and Microsoft mailboxes inside the same Forge stack.

Stands out: US-IP Google and Microsoft mailboxes so you can match the ESP your prospects use.

Watch out: Minimum 10 mailbox slots. No free trial. Yearly billing is the $4.50 rate; monthly is higher.

Best for

Teams that want real Google or Microsoft inboxes
Senders using ESP matching for inbox placement
Shops automating setup through the Primeforge API

Hypertide

$3.30/inbox/mo API

Why it comes up: Google inboxes at $3.30 each with no package minimum.

Stands out: Flat $3.30 per Google inbox, no packages, plus Entra domains at $25 with 25 inboxes included.

Watch out: No free trial. Entra is the volume SKU; Google is per inbox. Month-to-month, cancel in the app.

Best for

Teams that want one Google inbox or ten thousand at the same rate
Agencies buying Entra domains at $25 for 25 inboxes
Senders exporting over OAuth or SMTP to Instantly or Smartlead
