Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cloudgate at none against mail.com's shown. Cloudgate also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). mail.com's advantage is ratings volume (105K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases 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. mail.com sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Cloudgate sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cloudgate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mail.com has 105K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
mail.com ships an update fortnightly, Cloudgate every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
