■SpamBlocker supports Spam/Trash mailbox’s reassignment. Some (IMAP) mail servers support a machine learning spam filtering by using the mail data in the spam mailbox. If the spam mailbox matches between SpamBlocker and the mail server, SpamBlocker can feedback its spam filtering result to the mail server. Then the spam mail traffic can be reduced. ■SpamBlocker provides a spam filtering feature SpamBlocker(the usage is explained at the online help in the App) can filter out spams(junk mails) from the incoming mail messages by a spam filter which is generated by the SpamBlocker's built-in machine learning engine. SpamBlocker also supports 'rule based' filtering by specifying "sender's mail address" or "subject"'s substring.
 SpamBlocker supports IMAP/POP3 and can access only Inbox, spam box, trash box. SpamBlocker has no mail sending facility. As for the POP3 mail filtering, SpamBlocker has to get started before other mailers, otherwise spams will be downloaded to other mailers because POP3 has no synchronization mechanism . SpamBlocker supports HTML image blocking. SMS/MMS are not supported. SpamBlocker adapts the advertising free application model, but it has no resident toolbar, so the client area with an advertisement banner isn't narrower than other standard iOS applications. 
■Main Features: •Fast machine learning engine optimized for a mobile device ◦Learn ham and spam mail messages to generate a spam filter ◦Spam filtering time is very short compared with mail messages downloading time. ◦Multi-language. In this version, only English and Japanese are supported.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SpamBlocker at 2.8 against CosmoSia's 1.0. SpamBlocker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). CosmoSia's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SpamBlocker holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpamBlocker has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of SpamBlocker's written reviews are positive against 18% of CosmoSia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SpamBlocker ships an update every 3 months, CosmoSia every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
