Incoming emails automatically arrive in the inbox of your mailbox. One after another, in chronological order - but mixed thematically. In the intelligent mailbox, new emails are also displayed in individual categories - completely automatically, for more overview. Everything remains as usual in the inbox. With the online storage, WEB.DE offers you a professional, free storage solution. It is equally suitable for file backups as well as for easy and fast sharing of large files - for example, photo albums. Thanks to the highest security standards, the online storage is virtually indestructible, and with cloud made in Germany, it also meets the highest data protection requirements. Particularly useful: The WEB.DE app also supports your other WEB.DE mail accounts. So you can always keep an eye on all your WEB.DE mailboxes in one app! Our "push sounds" are particularly popular: These individually adjustable notifications sound when a new email arrives. The operation is also very simple and intuitive, and the interface adapted to the smartphone is particularly user-friendly. The battery-saving email push service and the secure, protected access with PIN protection are additional advantages. For these reasons, the WEB.DE app has already been downloaded and installed over a million times!

Balsio – A chat app for work conversations Work messages often end up in the apps we use with friends and family. Balsio gives work conversations a separate place. With Balsio, you can: - Message anyone using their work email. No phone numbers needed. - Keep work and personal messages in separate apps. - Keep all your team's chats in one shared workspace. Invite a new person once, and they can join any team chat they need. - Talk with people outside your company: clients, partners, and suppliers. They do not have to join your team. - Message your WhatsApp contacts without leaving Balsio (available in the European Economic Area, where contacts have enabled third-party chats). - Organize chats into lists by project or client, reply in threads, and snooze chats or mark them as done. Tools like Slack and Teams are for conversations inside your company. Balsio is for your team and for the people outside your company: clients, partners, and suppliers. If you have used a personal chat app before, Balsio will feel familiar.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Balsio at none against WEB.DE's 10. Balsio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). WEB.DE's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Balsio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.

WEB.DE ships an update fortnightly, Balsio weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
