Expert Insight: Email Hosting Providers Market Share & Momentum
Business email is a dead heat, and it is the cleanest number we publish.
Microsoft 365 runs on about 3.75M of the 8.3M live domains where we detect a mail provider, roughly 45%. Google Workspace is on about 3.63M, roughly 44%. The two are 1.5 points and around 125,000 domains apart, and both are read off the same signal, the domain's MX record, so neither side gets a measurement advantage. Turnover across the whole category is about 0.4% in 30 days, the lowest we publish anywhere.
Two vendors, nine tenths of the market
Microsoft 365 at about 45% and Google Workspace at about 44% hold roughly 89% of detected domains between them. Apple is third at close to 5% once you add the two rows we carry for the same product, and nothing else clears 2%. Titan Email is around 1.7%, Yandex Mail 1.1%, Yahoo and Proton under 1% each. A duopoly this tight is rare in our data, and it has held across every window we can measure.
Microsoft is inching ahead, Apple is the only other line rising
Microsoft 365 added about 32,000 net domains over 90 days against roughly 1,500 for Google Workspace. Apple iCloud Mail added about 18,000 on a base of 351,000, close to 5%, which is the fastest real growth in the category and reflects custom domains on iCloud+ rather than consumer accounts. Proton Mail added about 1,900. Three small tools show large gains that are entirely an artefact of entering our detection set inside the window, so discount them.
Almost nobody changes mail provider, and here we can prove it
About 0.4% of detected domains dropped their provider over 30 days. Low churn usually makes us suspicious, because a count built on a verification record can only ever go up. This category is the exception: an MX record is live mail routing, so it changes the day a company migrates and stops resolving if it is wrong. The number is low because switching business email is genuinely rare, not because the instrument cannot see it.
Yandex Mail is the only real decline, and the gap is what to watch
Yandex Mail is down on both windows, about 3,900 domains over 30 days and 5,600 over 90, the only top-ten provider negative on both. Google Workspace dipped about 5,300 over the latest 30 days but is still positive across 90, so read that as turnover. One limit worth knowing: a domain whose mail runs through shared hosting or a control panel often publishes no recognisable provider MX at all, so the 8.3M base is the addressable market for hosted business email rather than every domain that receives mail.

How do I choose the right email & webmail platform?
Start from your own size, industry and primary use case rather than from share. Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Apple iCloud Mail are the three we detect most often in this category, which tells you what is common, not what fits you.
