CloudMailin alternative

ReceiveHQ is a CloudMailin alternative for inbound email to HTTP. Keep the normalised JSON hash shape (envelope, headers, plain, html, base64 attachments) — move the MX hop to Germany and optionally operate from an MCP agent.

When teams leave CloudMailin

CloudMailin specialises in email → HTTP. EU and agent-native teams leave when they need clearer GDPR residency, lower cost at 100k volume, or a console/MCP that can blackhole mail for agent reads without a callback URL.

  • Same CloudMailin-style JSON format per endpoint
  • German hosting + public DPA and hosting declaration
  • MCP: configure domains and list_messages from Cursor or Claude

JSON payload parity

Set the endpoint format to cloudmailin. ReceiveHQ delivers the normalised hash shape documented in the Webhook API docs.

Pricing contrast (approx.)

CloudMailin Corporate is typically much higher at ~100k inbound/month (Starter is lower volume). ReceiveHQ includes 100,000 emails for €10/month, then €10 per additional 100k. Verify current CloudMailin plans before switching.
