1 more benefit of different pseudo-emails for each service is that when large collections of email, passwords are leaked then hackers can't apply same email to different services as each service would have a different account. This could safeguard users from situations like the recent Collection 1 leaks. I think you should list this as a benefit. Though if I make amazon-myname@kobi, twitter-myname@kobi then hackers can obviously try to guess the email, but still would be more work for them.

Basically, in 1 sentence, the benefit is that, till now, aware users followed the obvious rule of different passwords for each service and then use a password manager to manage all. But, a much better norm would be different email AND password for each service. this part is important: DIFFERENT EMAIL AND PASSWORD. I want this to become a norm in the next 1 year. By norm, I mean I want some big players to implement this as well. Also, good work on kopi. What are your thought on bulc.club ?

Looks like pretty much the same thing as Kopi, but more polished and without the the forward to RSS functionality.

How does "free" work though? Couldn't find anything in the FAQ.
