Email, Online Storage & News - All in your account! The free WEB.DE app is your loyal companion on the go! The Intelligent Mailbox takes a lot of work off your hands! 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!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: WEB.DE at 1.8K against freenet Mail's 97. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. WEB.DE sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and freenet Mail sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WEB.DE holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WEB.DE has 1.8K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of WEB.DE's written reviews are positive against 80% of freenet Mail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WEB.DE ships an update every 2 weeks, freenet Mail weekly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
