# mail.com vs SpamBlocker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: mail.com at 76% against SpamBlocker's 14%. mail.com also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). SpamBlocker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. mail.com sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and SpamBlocker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

mail.com holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mail.com has 105K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of mail.com's written reviews are positive against 14% of SpamBlocker's.

mail.com ships an update fortnightly, SpamBlocker every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
