| Decision | DeclutrMail | Unroll.Me |
|---|---|---|
| Core approach | PublishedA guided sender-by-sender cleanup Rank senders, inspect the effect, then choose Keep, Archive, Unsubscribe, Later, or Delete. | PublishedKeep, Block, Rollup The product page describes blocking unwanted email, keeping the mail you want, and rolling the rest up into a single daily digest. |
| Mailbox support | LimitedGmail and Google Workspace DeclutrMail is intentionally Gmail-specific today. | Not publicly statedGmail documented; other providers not stated by name The product page says it supports major email providers without naming them. The privacy notice documents Gmail sign-in, plus a Google App Password option for accounts outside Google’s restricted-permission rules. |
| 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. | LimitedRollup collects subscriptions into a digest Chosen subscriptions are gathered into one daily email. Bulk archiving or deleting a sender’s existing backlog is not stated on the reviewed product page. |
| 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. | PublishedCore behavior Keep, Block, and Rollup are ongoing per-sender dispositions rather than one-time cleanups. |
| 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. | LimitedBlocking is the published mechanism The reviewed pages describe blocking unwanted email. Whether an opt-out request is delivered to the sender, or mail is instead handled after it arrives, is not stated. |
| Preview and recovery | LimitedRecorded in Activity when recovery is available 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 publicly statedNot publicly stated A count-and-sample preview before a change, and any undo window afterwards, were not stated on the reviewed product and privacy pages. |
| Email-data posture | PublishedListed Gmail details, including the preview snippet Full message bodies and attachments are not fetched. | LimitedCopies of commercial emails; Gmail terms cover bodies and attachments The privacy notice says that connecting an inbox collects copies of and information from commercial email — receipts, confirmations, promotions — and that its Gmail access may read, write, modify, or control message bodies including attachments, headers, and settings to provide the service. It also states this Gmail data is not used to serve advertisements. |
| How the product is funded | PublishedSubscriptions only The published privacy policy states that Gmail data is not sold and is not used for advertising of any kind, and that it is not transferred to third parties except the subprocessors needed to run the service. | PublishedA market-research panel, stated on its own site Its site says: “We use your data to fuel our market research business, NielsenIQ.” The privacy notice says panelist data about the commercial emails you receive, plus demographics, may be sold or shared with customers including e-commerce businesses, investment companies, consumer brands, media companies, and data brokers — while directly identifying details are never sold to target you. The notice separately limits Gmail API data to providing the service and restricts transfers; do not apply the general panel terms to every Gmail connection. |
| Disclosure history | PublishedNo regulatory action DeclutrMail is a new product with no enforcement history; treat that as absence of a record, not as a track record. | PublishedFTC settlement finalized December 2019 The FTC alleged Unrollme falsely told consumers it would not “touch” their personal emails while sharing users’ e-receipts with its then-parent Slice Technologies for market-research products. The finalized order bars misrepresenting what it collects, uses, stores, or shares, and required deleting affected e-receipts absent express consent. |
| Public starting point | PublishedFree, $9 Plus, or $19 Pro monthly Free includes 50 cleanup actions per month. Plus is $90/year; Pro is $190/year, with a limited $129 founding offer in the current tier manifest. | Not publicly statedFree sign-up; paid tiers not publicly stated The product page offers a free sign-up, and no pricing page or paid plan was published on the reviewed site. The privacy notice describes the market-research business the free service funds. |

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.
