Airmail vs Parula
Both stand on email clients. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Choose Airmail if you want an iOS or macOS email client with multi-inbox handling, privacy controls and customizable message workflows. The free tier is limited to one account and basic management, while multiple accounts and push notifications require Pro. Look elsewhere if you need Android, Windows or ActiveSync support.
