# Email Client App vs SMS & Email

The clearest difference is ads: Email Client App at none against SMS & Email's shown. Email Client App also leads on ratings volume (433 vs 10) and review sentiment (29% vs 16%). SMS & Email's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Email Client App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and SMS & Email sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SMS & Email holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Email Client App has 433 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Email Client App's written reviews are positive against 16% of SMS & Email's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Email Client App ships an update every 3 months, SMS & Email monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
