OP is looking to move away from Google. Immediately getting locked into a different, arguably more restrictive, platform isn't a solution.
Now in general:
Pros:
Cons:
Is it free? I thought e-mail is only in the paid iCloud plans
It is free and comes with 5GB of cloud storage. For $1 a month, you get 50GB of cloud, a personal domain, Private relay (basically built in VPN), and email relay (masks your email address when signing up for a site, site never gets your actual email address, apple receive an email at the masked address and forwards to you.)
Couldn't tell you. I assumed it was free but I haven't used an apple device in years
Basic email is free, but you need iCloud+ to get support for custom domains and more than 5GB of storage.
Itβs free but you need a Mac or iOS device to set up a new mail account
