BlueMail vs Canary Mail

BlueMail

• People who want the same email app on phone, Mac, Windows and Linux
• Individuals looking for a free client with unlimited accounts
• Keeping newsletters and receipts apart from personal mail

Canary Mail

• One mail app across Mac, iPhone, Windows and Android devices
• People who want PGP-encrypted email without a separate tool
• Buyers who prefer a one-time lifetime license to a subscription

BlueMail

• GemAI, email backup on desktop and priority support need the paid Plus plan; S/MIME, SSO and MDM support are listed only on Enterprise.
• No web version is listed: BlueMail runs as apps for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux.
• The pricing page shows yearly prices as a rounded monthly figure ($3 and $8) and switches currency by country; the figures here come from its US price table.
• The US App Store lists BlueMail+ in-app purchases at $6.99 and $49.99 with no billing period shown; the website prices Plus at $4.99 a month or $35.99 a year.

Canary Mail

• It is a mail client, not a provider: it connects to existing accounts and does not create addresses or host mail.
• Apps are listed for macOS, iOS, Windows and Android only. There is no web or Linux version.
• AI Copilot, the calendar and Send Later need Growth, while PGP, SecureSend and phishing protection need Pro+ at $100 per year.
• There is no monthly billing. Paid plans are yearly or lifetime, bought inside the app, and the Free plan is limited to 2 devices.

BlueMail

Unified Inbox

Mail from every account and provider appears in one combined view. Every plan, including the free one, allows unlimited email accounts.

Clusters

Automatically groups newsletters, transactions, shopping, social and personal mail, so everything in a group can be archived, moved or flagged at once.

GemAI

Generative AI that summarizes threads, drafts replies, rewrites text for tone or length and translates across 90+ languages. It is included from the Plus plan.

Active Screener

Holds mail from new senders in a review queue, where each sender can be allowed, blocked or sent to spam before reaching the inbox.

Integrated calendar

A calendar inside the mail app that syncs with Google, Apple and Outlook calendars and can propose meeting times directly from a thread.

PGP encryption

Encrypt, sign and verify messages with PGP keys that you bring or generate inside the app. S/MIME support is listed on the Enterprise plan only.

Canary Mail

Unified inbox for every account

Reads Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo Mail and other IMAP accounts in one inbox. Unlimited mail accounts are included on the Free plan.

AI Copilot

Drafts replies, suggests subject lines, rewrites messages in a chosen tone and summarizes long threads. It is part of Growth, and Canary says email is not used to train AI models.

Read receipts, snooze and Send Later

Lite read receipts, snooze, pinning and templates are free. Full read receipts and Send Later need Growth. A Chrome extension offers read receipts only.

PGP encryption and SecureSend

Pro+ adds PGP end-to-end encryption and SecureSend, which sends password-protected messages that can be set to expire.

Phishing and impersonation protection

Pro+ alerts you to suspicious links and spoofed senders and adds impersonation detection and misdirection prevention.

Calendar and scheduling

Growth includes a built-in calendar with scheduling tools, so meetings are handled in the same app as mail.
