Verdict
Astra and MindMail both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of MindMail's written reviews are positive against 27% of Astra's. MindMail also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Astra's advantage is ratings volume (40K vs 11) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
