Before you choose

Check your platforms

App coverage varies across macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and the web. Check the platforms you use before choosing a client.

A desktop-focused option may not cover your phone, while a web option may suit devices that cannot install an app.

Separate free plans from trials

A free plan and a free trial serve different needs. Check whether the free access continues or ends after the trial period.

Pricing examples on the list include Spike at $4 per user per month with annual billing, Canary Mail at $3 per user per month with annual billing, and Airmail at $5.99 per month.

Match your daily workflow
