Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShieldGPS at none against YouMail's 10. ShieldGPS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). YouMail's advantage is ratings volume (100K vs 20) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
