Ruber vs Migadu
The closest of these on how it charges — neither of us bills a role address as a user, so billing@ and support@ cost nothing extra. Most of the difference is the API surface and the your-cloud mail plane.

Where it goes against us
Neither of us is audited or zero-access encrypted, and Migadu has a longer operating history. On price and on billing model we are close enough that the decision usually comes down to whether you need the API or the your-cloud mail plane.
