Best for free webmail inside Yandex 360
Yandex Mail is the mailbox in the Yandex 360 bundle, with 5 GB of Disk space and ads on the free plan. Personal is $2.42 a month on yearly billing and removes ads. The pages we read confirm only web access for Mail, and the smart assistant is a paid feature.
Who Yandex Mail is for
- Fits if you want free mail with IMAP access and some Disk storage
- Works for people who use other Yandex 360 services too
Who Yandex Mail is not for
- Tight if you hate ads, because free accounts see them and Personal removes them
- Skip it if you want an iPhone or Android app, as none was confirmed
- Watch out: the smart assistant in Mail is Personal and Family only
- Watch out: prices can differ by region; these are the figures shown to a US reader

Keep Yandex Mail, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Yandex Mail you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 100 of the 122 other email apps we grade. It costs $29.04 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar and documents: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- It plugs into other products, Yandex Disk, Yandex Documents and Yandex Telemost among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Yandex Mail’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
