HideMail details come from its public bot description, hidemail.app, and directory listings (Grambots, view.tg) as of October 2026. Features change, so check the bot itself before deciding. If anything here is out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.
When HideMail is the better pick
- You want aliases that forward to your regular inbox (Gmail, Outlook, Proton) as well as Telegram.
- You want a browser extension or Apple Shortcuts to create aliases while filling in forms.
- You'd rather pause an alias than delete it.
- You like managing aliases in a Mini App.
When push.tg is the better pick
- You want everything in Telegram and nothing else to set up.
- You also run servers, scripts or CI: every address doubles as a one-curl alert endpoint, with no bot token or chat_id.
- You want an anonymous contact link anyone can use to message you from a browser.
- You value a long track record: the bot has been delivering mail since 2016.
- You want shared inboxes in group chats for a household or team.
Privacy, plainly
push.tg: Each email arrives in your Telegram chat. The full copy sits behind a secret link for up to 12 hours, then it's destroyed. Senders see only the push.tg address. Delivery goes through Telegram, so Telegram's privacy model applies to your chat. Full details are in the privacy policy.
Whichever service you choose, alias providers can technically see mail passing through them, so keep bank and government accounts on an address you fully control.

FAQ
What is the best alternative to @hidemail_bot?
If you want email aliases in Telegram plus a curl alerts API and anonymous message links, push.tg (@trafficRobot) is the closest alternative. If you need aliases forwarded to Gmail or a browser extension, HideMail's web service covers that and push.tg doesn't.
Is push.tg the same as Hide My Email from Apple?
No. Apple's Hide My Email forwards to your iCloud inbox. push.tg creates addresses that deliver into Telegram. HideMail (hidemail.app) is a separate third-party service with a similar name.
Do push.tg aliases expire?
No. They stay active until you delete them in the bot.
Can I use both bots?
Yes. They're independent, so you can try push.tg for new sign-ups and keep your existing HideMail aliases.
Can I move my HideMail aliases to push.tg?
Aliases can't be transferred between services. Create a new push.tg address and update it on the sites you care about, one at a time.
Does push.tg store my emails?
Each email arrives in your Telegram chat. The full copy sits behind a secret link for up to 12 hours, then it's destroyed.
Can I reply from a push.tg address?
No. You see the sender's address and can reply from your regular mail app.
