# Chuck vs HEY Email

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HEY Email at none against Chuck's 10. HEY Email also leads on ads (none vs shown). Chuck's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (15K vs 4.3K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chuck sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. HEY Email asks for nothing beyond the download.

Chuck holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15K and 4.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Chuck's written reviews are positive against 60% of HEY Email's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Chuck ships an update weekly, HEY Email every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
