# inbox.eu vs AltaMail

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AltaMail at 90% against inbox.eu's 50%. AltaMail also leads on ratings volume (371 vs 50) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). inbox.eu's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. inbox.eu sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and AltaMail sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

inbox.eu holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AltaMail has 371 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of inbox.eu's written reviews are positive against 90% of AltaMail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

inbox.eu ships an update every 3 weeks, AltaMail every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
