Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Temp Mail at none against Email's 22. Temp Mail also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). Email's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 324) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
