Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gmail at 4.7 against iTrackMail's 3.8. Gmail also leads on ratings volume (2.4M vs 583) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). iTrackMail's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Gmail sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and iTrackMail sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gmail holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gmail has 2.4M ratings behind it against 583, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Gmail's written reviews are positive against 34% of iTrackMail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Gmail ships an update weekly, iTrackMail every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
