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.
