Meet the contenders
Whether you're a freelancer, small business owner, or corporate executive, there's an email app for you. We're here to help you decide.
Let's look at how these two email apps stack up against each other.
Thunderbird
Thunderbird is a free, open-source, cross-platform email client that’s managed by a core staff and a community of volunteer developers. Although the app is already quite robust, there are optional add-ons that you can install to enhance its functionality. So, when it comes to cost-effective email client apps, you can’t go wrong with free—there are no separate paid versions.
eM Client
eM Client sets itself apart as one of the most customizable email clients available. You can personalize not only the user interface (with a flexible layout and dozens of themes), but also the way the app handles email. Available for Windows, macOS, and most recently, Android and iOS, eM Client is suitable for professional and personal users who want complete control over every aspect of their email experience.
