# Email vs Temp Mail

The clearest difference is ads: Email at none against Temp Mail's shown. Email also leads on ratings volume (79K vs 558). Temp Mail's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, 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 Temp Mail sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Email holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Email has 79K ratings behind it against 558, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Email ships an update every 2 weeks, Temp Mail weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
