The call

The clearest difference is ads: SOS Ping Alerts at none against mail.com's shown. SOS Ping Alerts also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). mail.com's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (105K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
