Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BT Email at 4.3 against SekurMail's 3.0. BT Email also leads on ratings volume (227 vs 19) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.5). SekurMail's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BT Email holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BT Email has 227 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of BT Email's written reviews are positive against 21% of SekurMail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BT Email ships an update every 3 months, SekurMail fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
