Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: SmartPoint Home at 670 against Mailboxx's 7. SmartPoint Home also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmartPoint Home holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartPoint Home has 670 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of SmartPoint Home's written reviews are positive against 67% of Mailboxx's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SmartPoint Home ships an update every 5 months, Mailboxx every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
