SMTP Lookup
Read full descriptionHide full description
The SMTP Lookup utility is for anybody who is struggling to send e-mails because they are not sure of the correct server details for their e-mail account. Using an advanced server lookup process the SMTP utility will attempt to find the correct SMTP server to use for any valid domain or e-mail address that you enter (including support for Internet Service Providers and stand alone e-mail providers such as Yahoo, Gmail etc). For network administrators and advanced users the utility will also provide complete MX record details for mail delivery debugging. It's a developer tool that we've been using in-house for over 8 years now available for the first time on iOS devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SMTP Lookup at none against Boil's 3. SMTP Lookup also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
