# QQ邮箱 vs Mail

The clearest difference is rating: Mail at 4.6 against QQ邮箱's 3.6. Mail also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ratings volume (4.4M vs 729). QQ邮箱's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (51% vs 34%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QQ邮箱 sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Mail asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mail has 4.4M ratings behind it against 729, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of QQ邮箱's written reviews are positive against 34% of Mail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

QQ邮箱 ships an update monthly, Mail every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
