Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Email at 79K against Tuta Mail's 3.7K. Tuta Mail's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tuta Mail sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Email sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tuta Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Email has 79K ratings behind it against 3.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Tuta Mail's written reviews are positive against 66% of Email's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tuta Mail ships an update weekly, Email fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
