| Decision | DeclutrMail | Leave Me Alone |
|---|---|---|
| Core approach | PublishedA guided sender-by-sender cleanup Rank senders, inspect the effect, then choose Keep, Archive, Unsubscribe, Later, or Delete. | PublishedSubscription cleanup, Rollups, and Screener The service centers on mailing lists, digests, screening, blocklists, and quiet periods. |
| Mailbox support | LimitedGmail and Google Workspace DeclutrMail is Gmail only for now. | PublishedGoogle, Microsoft, major providers, and IMAP The official FAQ lists Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, Fastmail, and other IMAP mailboxes. |
| Existing-mail cleanup | PublishedYes — by sender Archive and Later act on matching current inbox mail. Delete can also include archived mail when you explicitly choose that scope. Unsubscribe alone does not move existing mail. | LimitedSubscription-specific Find and unsubscribe from subscription mail. Rollups move chosen newsletters to a folder; general sender archive/delete is not the published core workflow. |
| Future-mail automation | LimitedSeparate Autopilot rules Autopilot rules are configured separately and previewed before they run. Low-engagement Archive and new-sender Later matches always wait for your approval; other presets can act automatically if you choose. A one-time Archive or Later action does not automatically become a future-mail rule. | PublishedScreener, filters, Rollups, and do-not-disturb Published tools can screen senders, route newsletters, block unwanted mail, and hold mail on a schedule. |
| Unsubscribe | LimitedWhen the sender provides an unsubscribe method Standards-based one-click requests can be submitted directly. Mailto opens a prepared Gmail draft that you send. The sender controls whether and when delivery stops; unsupported senders stay explicit. | PublishedCore feature The FAQ describes following opt-out links or sending a request from a unique address. Its security page also documents fallback filters when it cannot unsubscribe; sender compliance is not guaranteed. |
| Preview and recovery | LimitedA preview before email moves Archive, Later, Unsubscribe, and Delete use a confirmation preview. Keep is an inline sender decision. Archive, Later, and Delete use the 30-day Activity Undo window. Delete also has separate Gmail Trash recovery, normally up to 30 days. Unsubscribe is not a reversible DeclutrMail action. | Not offeredUnsubscribe is not reversible in the service The FAQ says re-subscribing must be done manually at the sender’s website. |
| Email-data posture | PublishedListed Gmail details, including the preview snippet Full message bodies and attachments are not fetched. | LimitedSubscription details; encrypted email content for Rollups The security page describes storing subscription metadata. Rollups fetch, encrypt, and store the email content needed to create the digest. |

Questions
Should I use Leave Me Alone or DeclutrMail for managing subscriptions?
Leave Me Alone is focused on subscriptions and works with more email services. DeclutrMail treats subscriptions as one kind of Gmail sender and adds Archive, Later and Delete with a preview and 30-day Undo.
Can DeclutrMail see my full emails?
No. We never fetch or store full email contents. DeclutrMail asks Google for one Gmail permission, gmail.modify, and uses it to list the email details shown on our security page and to make the changes you confirm. If you allow AI in the app, some of those details can be sent to Anthropic to write short explanations and summaries; our privacy policy says exactly what and when.
How much does DeclutrMail cost?
Free is $0 and lets you clear 1,000 emails a month; Unsubscribe, Keep, Later, previews and Undo are unlimited. Plus is $59 a year with no monthly limit. The Backlog Pass is $19 once for 30 days with no monthly limit on one Gmail account. 14-day money-back on any purchase, once per customer.

What Google will ask you to allow
Google’s screen asks for one Gmail permission, gmail.modify, and words it more broadly than DeclutrMail uses it: DeclutrMail moves and labels email and never sends email as you. We never fetch or store full email contents.
