# SFR Mail vs GMX

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SFR Mail at none against GMX's 19. SFR Mail also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). GMX's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 17) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GMX sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. SFR Mail asks for nothing beyond the download.

SFR Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GMX has 17K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of SFR Mail's written reviews are positive against 77% of GMX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SFR Mail ships an update every 5 weeks, GMX fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
