# Email vs Webmail App

The clearest difference is price: Email at Free against Webmail App's $2.99. Email also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (66% vs 35%). On in-app purchases, monetization model, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Email is free to download; Webmail App costs $2.99 up front. Email sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Webmail App sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Email holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Email has 79K ratings behind it against 751, 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 35% of Webmail App's.

Email ships an update every 2 weeks, Webmail App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
