ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sortd for Gmail holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Email Inbox has 41 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Sortd for Gmail's written reviews are positive against 61% of AI Email Inbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sortd for Gmail ships an update every 2 months, AI Email Inbox every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
