# Email vs Mobile Account

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mobile Account at none against Email's 22. Mobile Account also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). Email's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Email sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Mobile Account asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mobile Account holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Email has 79K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Email ships an update every 2 weeks, Mobile Account monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
