you@yourdomain.com
lands in the Gmail you already use.
Relay routes you@yourdomain.com straight into the Gmail you already use — for a fraction of what Google Workspace charges. No new inbox to check. No AI assistants, docs suite, or team chat you didn’t ask for — just email routing, done right.
Join the waitlist — we'll email you the moment Relay opens. No marketing, no drip sequence.
From domain to inbox in three moves.
No Postfix. No cron jobs. No reading RFCs on a Sunday. Point your DNS, pick your aliases, hit send from the Gmail tab already open.

Same Gmail. A whole different bill.
Drag the sliders. Watch what you’re actually paying Google for a custom-domain inbox you could route yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to long questions.
Still unsure? Email hey@relay.email — we reply from Gmail, obviously.
- No. Forwarding breaks SPF, doesn't DKIM-sign outbound replies, and can't send from your custom domain. Relay does bidirectional routing: inbound with SRS, outbound via a signed relay — so Gmail shows hello@yourdomain.com as a first-class send address.
- No. Relay plugs into Gmail's built-in 'Send mail as' feature. Inbound lands in your existing Gmail. Outbound goes through Relay but looks like it came from you@yourdomain.com — because it did.
- Deliverability is why we exist. Each domain gets its own DKIM key, alignment-checked SPF, a DMARC policy, and enterprise relay pools. Avg. inbox placement across our beta cohort is 99.3%.
- Yes, anywhere that supports SMTP auth and 'Send mail as'. Our how-it-works section shows Gmail because it's what most folks ask about first, but Relay doesn't care.
- One outbound message = one send, regardless of recipients. If you send to 5 people at once, that's 1 send. Inbound forwarding is unmetered on all tiers.
- We don't cut you off mid-sentence. You'll get a warning at 80% and 100%, and a 10% grace buffer before sends pause. Upgrade any time and the queued messages flush.
- Yes. Prorated on upgrade, credited on downgrade. No annual commitment, no early-termination fees, no 'book a call with success' to cancel.
- So we can keep Free actually free. Cap is 100/mo (10/day first week while reputation warms). It's enough for a personal domain, not enough to spam from.
Your domain. Your inbox.
None of the overhead.
