Verdict

The clearest difference is ads: AwayMail at none against Chuck's shown. AwayMail also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Chuck's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
