# Clinked vs Spark Mail

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clinked at none against Spark Mail's 17. Clinked also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 61%). Spark Mail's advantage is ratings volume (83K vs 12) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spark Mail sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Clinked asks for nothing beyond the download.

Spark Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spark Mail has 83K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Clinked's written reviews are positive against 61% of Spark Mail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clinked ships an update every 2 weeks, Spark Mail weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
