Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slick Inbox at none against Funnel's 4. Slick Inbox also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Funnel sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Slick Inbox asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slick Inbox holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 43 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Slick Inbox's written reviews are positive against 80% of Funnel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
