Disposable Email Compatibility Dataset
Which platforms accept a disposable address at signup, and which reject it? This open dataset records the observed answer, the caveat, the evidence method, and when every platform was last checked.
34 platforms: 11 work, 7 are partial, and 16 are blocked. 20 results come from a completed signup test; the remaining rows are documented surveys. Dataset version 1.0.0, updated .

Results
| Platform | Verdict | Observed behavior | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adobe design |
Partial | An Adobe ID can often be created with a disposable address, but every trial takes a card and converts automatically — which makes an expiring inbox actively expensive. | Hand-tested |
| AWS developer |
Blocked | AWS requires a valid payment card and a phone verification call or SMS at signup, and filters disposable email domains. An account created without those cannot be activated. | Hand-tested |
| Canva design |
Works | Canva accepts disposable addresses for a free account. It sends a numeric verification code rather than a link, which the inbox above extracts automatically. | Hand-tested |
| Cloudflare developer |
Blocked | Cloudflare rejects disposable domains at signup — and an account that controls your DNS is the last thing that should sit on an expiring inbox. | Hand-tested |
| Coinbase crypto |
Blocked | KYC obligations make a durable, verifiable address mandatory. | Survey |
| Copilot ai |
Blocked | Microsoft Copilot requires a Microsoft account, and Microsoft rejects disposable email domains at signup. GitHub Copilot is a separate product with a separate account — see below. | Hand-tested |
| Cursor developer |
Partial | Cursor accepts many disposable addresses for a free account, but it pushes Google and GitHub sign-in hard, and Pro trials require a payment method. | Hand-tested |
| Discord social |
Works | Generally accepts disposable addresses, though phone verification may be requested on some servers. | Survey |
| Disney+ streaming |
Blocked | Paid streaming services generally reject disposable domains. | Survey |
| ElevenLabs ai |
Partial | ElevenLabs accepts many disposable addresses at signup, but free-tier abuse has made its filtering stricter over time. If the verification email does not arrive within about a minute, the domain is being filtered for that attempt. | Hand-tested |
| Facebook social |
Blocked | Meta platforms filter disposable domains aggressively. | Survey |
| Figma design |
Partial | Figma accepts many disposable addresses for a personal free account, but team invitations often require a matching work domain, and your files live on the account. | Hand-tested |
| Gamma ai |
Works | Gamma generally accepts disposable addresses for a free account. It offers Google sign-in prominently, but the email option works and keeps the account separate from your Google identity. | Hand-tested |
| Gemini ai |
Blocked | Google Gemini requires a Google account, and Google rejects disposable email domains at signup. There is no way around it. | Hand-tested |
| GitHub developer |
Works | Developer-focused and historically permissive; anti-abuse focuses on behaviour rather than address domain. | Survey |
| Google productivity |
Blocked | Rejects known disposable domains at signup and frequently requires phone verification. | Survey |
| Hugging Face ai |
Works | Hugging Face generally accepts disposable addresses. It sends a verification link, and the free tier covers model downloads, datasets and Spaces without a card. | Hand-tested |
| Instagram social |
Blocked | Instagram filters disposable email domains and frequently requires phone verification for new accounts. Accounts that do get created this way are also the ones most often caught by automated review. | Hand-tested |
| Lichess gaming |
Works | Lichess accepts disposable addresses and is unusually relaxed about it — the site is free, open source and ad-free, with no payment step anywhere. | Hand-tested |
| Microsoft productivity |
Blocked | Microsoft account signup rejects disposable email domains and usually asks for phone verification as well. Outlook.com, Xbox, Microsoft 365 and Copilot all sit behind that same account. | Hand-tested |
| Netflix streaming |
Blocked | Paid streaming services generally reject disposable domains. | Survey |
| Notion productivity |
Works | Notion generally accepts disposable addresses for a personal-plan signup. It sends a numeric login code rather than a clickable link, which is exactly the case OTP extraction handles well. | Hand-tested |
| Patreon social |
Partial | Patreon accepts many disposable addresses for a free browsing account, but anything involving money — pledging or receiving payouts — needs a durable address. | Hand-tested |
| PayPal finance |
Blocked | KYC obligations make a durable, verifiable address mandatory. | Survey |
| Reddit social |
Works | Email is optional for account creation, which makes this the most permissive case. | Survey |
| Replit developer |
Works | Replit generally accepts disposable addresses. It sends a verification link, and the free tier runs public Repls without a card. | Hand-tested |
| Robinhood finance |
Blocked | KYC obligations make a durable, verifiable address mandatory. | Survey |
| Runway ai |
Partial | Runway accepts many disposable addresses at signup, but the free credit allowance is one-time and cycling accounts to reset it breaches its terms. | Hand-tested |
| Spotify (free tier) streaming |
Works | The free tier is generally permissive; paid tiers are not. | Survey |
| Steam gaming |
Works | Accepts disposable addresses for account creation. | Survey |
| Threads social |
Blocked | Runs on the Instagram account system and inherits its filtering. | Survey |
| Valorant gaming |
Partial | A Riot account for Valorant can often be created with a disposable address, but Riot requires a verified phone number before you can play ranked or use voice chat — and a temporary email cannot help with that. | Hand-tested |
| X (Twitter) social |
Blocked | Filters disposable domains and commonly requires phone verification. | Survey |
| YouTube streaming |
Blocked | YouTube requires a Google account, and Google does not accept disposable email domains. There is no workaround, and any guide claiming otherwise is describing something that does not work. | Hand-tested |
What the verdicts mean
- Works: Disposable addresses are generally accepted at signup.
- Partial: Often accepted, but with a caveat that commonly bites — see notes.
- Blocked: Reliably rejected, or the account becomes unrecoverable without a durable address.
Methodology and limitations
This is point-in-time signup research, not a promise that every disposable domain works from every region. Platforms change filters without notice, disposable-domain lists differ, and some services request additional phone or payment verification. A row marked hand-tested means the signup flow was completed and the observed result recorded. A survey row relies on consistent documented behavior but was not individually repeated for this release.
The dataset measures acceptance at account creation. It does not claim that an account remains usable after the temporary inbox expires, and it is not advice to bypass a platform's rules. For financial, healthcare, government, work, or any account requiring recovery, use a permanent address.
