Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Email at 66% against ABV Mail's 9%. Email also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.8) and ratings volume (79K vs 12). ABV Mail's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 22) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
