Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Twobird at free against Polymail's free with in-app purchases. Twobird also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (446 vs 86). Polymail's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 54%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Twobird holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twobird has 446 ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Polymail's written reviews are positive against 54% of Twobird's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Polymail ships an update fortnightly, Twobird every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
