Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GMX at 77% against ABV Mail's 9%. GMX also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.6) and ratings volume (17K vs 14). ABV Mail's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support 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. GMX sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. ABV Mail asks for nothing beyond the download.
GMX holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GMX has 17K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of GMX's written reviews are positive against 9% of ABV Mail's.
GMX ships an update fortnightly, ABV Mail every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
