Clean Email vs Leave Me Alone

Clean Email

• Clearing a backlog of thousands of old emails
• Unsubscribing from many mailing lists in one sitting
• Families or small groups sharing a 5 or 10 account plan

Leave Me Alone

• Unsubscribing from many mailing lists across several email accounts
• People who want the newsletters they keep batched into one digest
• Keeping cold outreach and unknown senders out of the inbox

Clean Email

• A free account can clean 1,000 emails, plus 100 a week with reminders on. Screener, Auto Clean and the Unsubscriber need a paid plan.
• It is not an email client: it connects to your mailbox and works alongside the email app you already use.
• Prices here are US prices from the App Store listings and Clean Email's own pages. Its plans page shows local-currency prices that vary by region.
• The US App Store lists 5-account purchases at several prices without a billing period, so that plan's price is given as a range.

Leave Me Alone

• Plan names and prices could not be confirmed: the vendor's pricing page did not load when checked, so only its help center was read.
• Only 10 unsubscribes are free; the help center says it is a paid service after that.
• Proton Mail accounts cannot be connected.
• It is not an email client: it works on your existing mailbox through a web app, and held or blocked mail stays in folders there.

Clean Email

Unsubscriber

Lists every subscription and newsletter in one place and unsubscribes for you. If a list ignores the request, its messages are moved to the trash automatically.

Bulk cleaning

Groups mail by sender, date or size so that thousands of messages can be deleted, archived, labelled or moved in a single action.

Smart Folders and Cleaning Suggestions

Predefined filters gather mail such as social notifications, rideshare receipts and online shopping, and suggestions point to messages people usually delete or archive.

Screener

Holds messages from senders who have never emailed you before, so you can allow or block each one before it reaches the inbox.

Auto Clean rules

Rules based on sender, domain, status or age automatically move, star, mark, delete or archive messages as they arrive or once they get old.

Privacy Monitor

Checks your email address against known data breaches on a regular basis and alerts you if it has been compromised.

Leave Me Alone

Unsubscriber

Lists the subscription emails in connected accounts and unsubscribes for you: it sends an unsubscribe request, follows the link's steps automatically or emails the sender to ask for removal.

Rollups

Senders you choose are moved out of the inbox and delivered together as one digest email, daily or weekly at a time you set. The originals stay in a folder in your mailbox.

Screener

Holds back mail from first-time senders until you allow or block them, and sends a Daily Digest of everything screened in the previous 24 hours.

Spam Blocker

Moves spam, cold sales emails and lists you have already unsubscribed from into a folder, using your custom blocklist and a spam check whose strictness you can set. Nothing is deleted.

Shielded Emails

Private addresses to hand out instead of your own. Mail sent to them is rolled up, forwarded or unsubscribed, and custom addresses are currently limited to 3.

Do Not Disturb and Priority Senders

Schedules hold incoming mail and release it when they end, while Priority Senders always reach the inbox regardless of blocklists, Rollups or schedules.
