We’ve been working behind the scenes on one of the biggest structural upgrades to FreeCustom.Email. This update focuses on independence, flexibility, and long-term reliability — from how you log in, to how you subscribe, to how the platform is funded and operated.
Here’s everything that’s new.
Moving to Our Own Payment System
Until now, Pro subscriptions were handled through a third-party identity platform. We’ve transitioned to a native payment system built directly into FreeCustom.Email.
Why this matters
Faster subscription activation
More control over billing and pricing
Better reliability and fewer external dependencies
Easier upgrades, downgrades, and renewals
Supported Payment Gateways
Available now
PayPal
Coming soon (within ~1 week)
Paddle (for global card payments and better regional coverage)
This gives us full control over subscriptions — and lets us offer more flexible plans.
New Flexible Subscription Plans
A redesigned subscription modal now lets you choose what fits your usage.
Plans include:
Weekly (budget-friendly for short-term use)
Monthly
Yearly (best value)
Occasional promotional offers
Everything is handled inside a dedicated upgrade flow — cleaner, faster, and easier to manage.
Independent Authentication System
We’ve separated authentication from external identity providers and introduced modern login options.
New login methods
Google
GitHub
This means:
Faster sign-in
No dependency on external account systems
Better reliability for developers and teams
Cleaner account management
Your account now belongs fully within the FreeCustom.Email ecosystem.
Redesigned User Profile & Settings
A brand-new Profile Page gives you more visibility and control.
What you can manage
Account details
Subscription status
Usage overview
Payment information
Inbox preferences
Feature settings
We’ve also added homepage customization options, so you can tailor your default experience.
Dedicated Niche Pages
To support specific use cases, we’ve launched specialized pages such as:
Temp Mail for Business
Temp Mail for Instagram
Temp Mail for Twitter
Temp Mail for Developers
And more targeted workflows
These pages provide optimized guidance and quick access for common scenarios.
Transparent Service Monitoring
You can now check platform health anytime at:
The status page shows:
System uptime
API health
Mail delivery status
Incident reports
Maintenance updates
Transparency is part of building trust.
Sustainable Growth: Minimal Ads, Community Support
Running a high-speed mail infrastructure isn’t cheap. To keep the core service free:
We may show minimal, non-intrusive ads
Ads will be removed once server and operational costs are covered through community support

If community support covers infrastructure costs, we aim to keep the experience completely ad-free.
