Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: XL Mail at Free against StoneKey's $1.99. XL Mail also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6). StoneKey's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 25 months). On review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

XL Mail holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StoneKey has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of XL Mail's written reviews are positive against 6% of StoneKey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

XL Mail ships an update every 25 months, StoneKey every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
