Why we built Forward

The problem with email routing hasn't changed — only the complexity of the solutions has.

The problem

Every domain needs a few email addresses. But most options charge per mailbox, require complex DNS setups, or force you into a suite of tools you don't need. AWS SES, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 — all powerful, all wildly overbuilt for teams that just want hello@yourdomain.com to reach the right inbox.

Our approach

Forward handles inbound email routing — nothing more, nothing less. Add your domain, verify via DNS, create aliases, and your email starts arriving at the right destinations within minutes. No servers to manage. No Lambda functions. No S3 buckets. Just email that works.

Security first

We believe email security shouldn't be optional or complex. Forward provides DKIM signing on forwarded mail, SPF guidance during domain setup, and an alias-per-service model so you're never exposing your primary operating address to third parties you don't fully trust.

Built for developers

The Forward API lets you manage domains, aliases, and routing rules programmatically. If you're building a multi-tenant SaaS, a hosting platform, or a tool that provisions domain email for customers, the API gives you full control without UI friction.

Honest pricing

We don't charge per seat. We don't hide essential features behind enterprise tiers. Our pricing is per account with clear limits per domain — so a team of 10 people sharing a support alias costs the same as a team of 2. Scale your team without scaling your bill.

MCP support

Forward supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), letting AI agents manage your email routing natively. If you're building an autonomous workflow or an AI assistant that handles communication, Forward's MCP integration lets it create and manage aliases programmatically — no browser required.

Our principles

What guides every product decision we make.

Simple beats complete

We deliberately don't build everything. Forward routes email. It doesn't have a built-in CRM, a ticket queue, or an email marketing tool. Focused tools do their job better.

Infrastructure you don't think about

The best infrastructure is infrastructure you forget exists. We aim for Forward to be invisible — email arrives, business continues, you never open a server dashboard.

Transparent about limits

We publish our plan limits clearly. If you hit a ceiling, we'll tell you why and what tier resolves it. No surprise overage bills. No hidden "contact us for pricing" paywalls.
