Proton Pass has a similar feature, I love it. But Spotify had banned my account and asked me to email them from the alias to unlock it, which is not possible. So you should be careful with that. A lot of companies employ anti-privacy practices.
If you use fastmail and a custom domain it automagically lets you reply to email from the email they sent you. i.e. if you have COMPANYA@mydomain.com and you reply to one of their emails it comes from COMPANYA@mydomain.com
Most paid email providers let you setup a custom domain with a catch all address, its worth it. Not all have this handy reply email feature, and you have to configure a custom response address, annoying it but works too
SimpleLogin/ProtonPass also let's you reply to any email from your alias, but you need to set up a reverse alias if you aren't replying.
