# Email Yourself vs Mail Docs

The clearest difference is rating: Mail Docs at 5.0 against Email Yourself's 4.5. Mail Docs also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Email Yourself's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Email Yourself sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mail Docs sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mail Docs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Email Yourself has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
