# Email vs SecureMyEmail

The clearest difference is rating: Email at 4.5 against SecureMyEmail's 3.5. Email also leads on ratings volume (79K vs 37) and review sentiment (66% vs 43%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Email sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SecureMyEmail sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Email holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Email has 79K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Email's written reviews are positive against 43% of SecureMyEmail's.

Email ships an update fortnightly, SecureMyEmail every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
