BlueMail vs Edison 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

Edison Mail

• People with several email accounts who want a free unified inbox
• Clearing out newsletters with one-tap unsubscribe
• Households that want phishing warnings shared across family members

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.

Edison Mail

• The free app is funded by Edison's research business, which collects anonymized data from commercial emails such as receipts. You can opt out or delete stored data.
• Verify Sender phishing warnings, Validate Contacts and LinkedIn Discovery need Edison Mail+ at $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year.
• Edison's site still mentions a Mac app, but the Mac App Store link from its launch post returned no listing when checked, so Mac is not listed here.
• Assistant features for bills and receipts, entertainment, travel and package alerts are limited to the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India.

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.

Smart folders show travel, shopping, bills and receipts, events and subscriptions at a glance without moving any messages.

Tracking pixel blocking

Read receipts and tracking pixels are blocked by default, without turning off images in the message.

Focused Inbox separates important email from messages that can wait, custom snooze brings a message back at a time you choose, and Undo Send recalls a message seconds after sending.
