Is Temp Mail Free?

Yes. Mail.td is free to use — no signup, no credit card required to start.

The free plan covers everything most people need:

  • Create as many temp mail addresses as you need (within fair-use)
  • Up to 1 day email retention
  • Password-protected inboxes (cross-device login)
  • 40 MB storage per mailbox
  • 500 API operations per month (covers address creation, message access, etc.)

When you might want Pro

Pro at $5/month makes sense if you need any of these:

  • Email retention extended to up to 7 days (Free is 1 day)
  • A custom domain so you can use your own brand for temp mail
  • Higher API throughput (100,000 operations per month vs 500)
  • Signed webhooks for real-time email notifications in apps or test pipelines
  • API tokens for automation

If you don't recognize any of those needs, the Free plan is enough.
