Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: myMail box at none against Gmail's 14. myMail box also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Gmail's advantage is ratings volume (2.4M vs 18K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model 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. Gmail sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. myMail box asks for nothing beyond the download.
Gmail holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gmail has 2.4M ratings behind it against 18K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Gmail's written reviews are positive against 46% of myMail box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
