# Clean Email vs ThreadVault

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ThreadVault at 100% against Clean Email's 40%. ThreadVault also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 20). Clean Email's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and rating (4.5 vs 4.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Clean Email is free to download; ThreadVault costs $4.99 up front. Clean Email sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. ThreadVault asks for nothing beyond the download.

Clean Email holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clean Email has 3.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Clean Email's written reviews are positive against 100% of ThreadVault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clean Email ships an update every 2 months, ThreadVault every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
