# Google Chrome vs Email Client App

The clearest difference is ads: Email Client App at none against Google Chrome's shown. Google Chrome's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 29%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Email Client App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Google Chrome against 4.6 for Email Client App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 434, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 29% of Email Client App's.

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Email Client App every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
