Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Keepd at 87% against Canary Mail's 51%. Canary Mail's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (8.8K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Keepd sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year and Canary Mail sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Canary Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canary Mail has 8.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Keepd's written reviews are positive against 51% of Canary Mail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Keepd ships an update weekly, Canary Mail every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
