I would really like to use such a service, but my biggest concern is: Will this still exist in 5 years?
The export feature is a neat first step, but I simply don't want to have to think about ever needing to switch again. I also appreciate that you've got a pricing page (too many startups ommit this!), it signals that you're trying to build a real thing. Do you have any plans on how to sustain in the long-term? |

- The running cost is low enough for us to keep the service running almost "forever". Even when SimpleLogin doesn't earn enough money to pay our salaries (the biggest cost), we'll keep SimpleLogin running as a side-project as we and a lot of our family/friends use SimpleLogin.
- The code and hosting instructions are open so anyone could deploy SimpleLogin on their server and migrate all their aliases there. The migration is actually not too complex as it mostly consists of changing the DNS and re-import your existing aliases. Making sure that SimpleLogin can run on an inexpensive and simple server is part of our design rules since the beginning so you don't need complex infrastructure to deploy SimpleLogin for yourself.

Our revenue comes mainly from the premium subscription. We are also considering to create products derived from SimpleLogin technology but targeted at business.
