Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Swift Paperless at 4.9 against Boogie Mail's 3.0. Swift Paperless also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (76 vs 2). Boogie Mail's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
