Temporary Email Market Share

How to read this chart

Temporary email providers are services that hand out disposable email addresses, often used to sign up for something without giving a real address. This chart shows which of those services turned up most often over the last three full months, and how that changed from one month to the next.

The columns are months. The left column is the oldest of the three months and the right column is the most recent. The current month is left out until it ends, so every column covers a complete month.

Each block is one provider in that month. The taller the block, the bigger that provider's share of the month. Within each column, the biggest provider is at the top.

The bands follow a provider over time. Each band links a provider to itself in the next month. A band that gets wider is a provider gaining share; one that narrows is losing share. Bands crossing each other means one provider overtook another. A band that falls away off the bottom of the chart is a provider dropping out of the top seven, and a block with no band leading into it is a newcomer. The bands do not show people moving from one provider to another.

Where the numbers come from: Every time a business checks an email address with TempMailDetector and the address belongs to a known temporary email provider, we count it against that provider. The chart therefore reflects the disposable addresses showing up on real sign-up forms that our customers protect. It is not a count of every temporary email address in use across the internet.

Which providers are shown: Each month shows its own seven most common providers. Providers move in and out as their rankings change, so the line-up can be different from one month to the next.

What the sizes mean: We don't publish exact counts. Instead, each provider's monthly count is converted to a score from 1 to 10, and every column is drawn at the same total height. That makes the chart good for comparing providers against each other and spotting who is rising or falling. It can't tell you whether overall temporary email use went up or down, and blocks of similar height should be read as roughly equal.
