Email is a mess. Your inbox is buried in spam, newsletters, and receipts, so you stopped checking it. But the emails that actually matter still land there: a college coach, a recruiter, a job offer, your kid's school. Mail Bell fixes that. Connect an email address by forwarding a copy to your private Mail Bell address, and we text you the moment something important arrives. That's the whole thing. WE NEVER READ OR STORE YOUR EMAIL This is the part that matters. When a forwarded email reaches us, we look at only the sender and subject for the split second it takes to build your text, then it's gone. No inbox. No archive. No selling your data. Ever. ONLY THE STUFF THAT MATTERS You decide what's worth a buzz: - Anyone who emails you (we skip the junk: newsletters, receipts, promos, no-reply blasts) - Only the people and topics you pick (favorites, keywords, and a mute list) - A killer feature for recruited athletes: "only text me from .edu" so you never miss a coach BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T MISS THE EMAIL - Recruited athletes and their families: coaches use email, and a missed message can cost an opportunity - Anyone job hunting, freelancing, or waiting on something time-sensitive - Parents keeping an eye on a teen's school mail HOW IT WORKS 1. Enter your email and the number where you want texts. 2. Turn on forwarding in your email settings (we walk you through Gmail, iCloud, and Outlook). 3. Get a text when a real email lands. Done. Start free. Sign in with Apple. Stop anytime by replying STOP or deleting your account in the app. Privacy Policy: https://mailbell.cc/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://mailbell.cc/terms Mail Bell is a service of Limestone Labs LLC.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MailFiltr at none against Mail Bell's 1. MailFiltr also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
