Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BT Email at none against Mailo's shown. BT Email also leads on ratings volume (223 vs 1) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). Mailo's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BT Email holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BT Email has 223 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Mailo's written reviews are positive against 17% of BT Email's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mailo ships an update every 7 months, BT Email every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
