Duck.com is a great service, but it doesn’t have the same features as Port87, and it has different goals and a different purpose as a service.
Duck.com is meant to keep your existing email address private. It forwards messages to your current email provider. You could use a duck.com address to keep a Port87 address private.
Port87 is meant to be your email provider. It doesn’t forward mail, but instead receives/sends mail for you. You get unlimited subaddresses with Port87, and each one has its own label in your account with its own settings, like whether to send push notifications, mark email as read, screen new senders, etc. It’s meant to help you stay organized by keeping your email categorized for you. It’s also available free. There are paid features, but you can receive mail to unlimited addresses for free.
The two services work very well together, and you can get the benefits of both!
