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.

Both are free to download. Chuck sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and AwayMail sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AwayMail holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chuck has 15K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Chuck ships an update weekly, AwayMail every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
