Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gmail at 4.7 against Email Tracker by EmailHawk's 2.6. Gmail also leads on ratings volume (2.4M vs 20) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). Email Tracker by EmailHawk's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gmail sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Email Tracker by EmailHawk sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gmail holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gmail has 2.4M ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Gmail's written reviews are positive against 21% of Email Tracker by EmailHawk's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
