eM Client vs Wino Mail

eM Client

• Windows and Mac users who want a full desktop mail client
• People who would rather pay once for the current version
• Companies that license email software per device

Wino Mail

• Windows users who miss the built-in Mail and Calendar apps
• People with up to three Outlook, Gmail or IMAP accounts who want a free client
• Those who prefer open source software that keeps mail on their own PC

eM Client

• The Free license is for personal, non-commercial use only, on one device with 2 email accounts.
• Thread view, notes, snooze, Send Later, undo send and message translation need a paid Personal or Business license.
• A one-time license covers the current major version only. Later major versions need a paid upgrade or the Lifetime Upgrades option.
• No Linux or web version is listed. The pricing page shows different prices by country; the figures here are the US ones.

Wino Mail

• It runs on Windows only; the site lists no macOS, Linux, mobile or web version.
• The free app is limited to 3 email accounts. Removing the limit needs the Unlimited Accounts add-on, unless you build the app from source.
• Prices for Unlimited Accounts and Wino Intelligence are not published: the site says current regional pricing appears before payment.
• Wino Intelligence needs a Wino Account, processes the mailboxes you enable in the cloud and has monthly usage allowances.

Connects to Google Workspace, Office 365, Outlook, Exchange and other services, and imports data from Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird and other clients.

Calendar, tasks, contacts and notes

Calendars, tasks and contacts are part of every license, with a sidebar agenda of upcoming events, tasks and birthdays. Notes need a paid license.
