# YouMail vs BigMIND Cloud Backup

The clearest difference is rating: YouMail at 4.7 against BigMIND Cloud Backup's 2.2. YouMail also leads on ratings volume (100K vs 17) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). BigMIND Cloud Backup's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YouMail sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and BigMIND Cloud Backup sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
