The privacy-first alternative to the usual inbox cleaners

Unroll.me is free — historically because its business has been funded by analyzing inbox data. Siftbird takes the opposite deal: a flat $5/month, so it never has to touch your data that way. It stores no email content at all.

SaneBox is powerful but folder-heavy, and its pricing climbs in tiers as you add features. Siftbird keeps a single calm inbox — no folder zoo to learn — for a flat $5/month, and stores no email content.

Clean Email leans on manual bundles and rules you build. Siftbird decides automatically for every new email — including senders you've never seen — and stores no email content, for a flat $5/month.

Cleanfox is free — reportedly because its parent, the market-research firm Foxintelligence (acquired by NielsenIQ around late 2021), monetizes anonymized transactional data pulled from users' inboxes. Siftbird takes the opposite deal: a flat $5/month, so it never has to touch your data that way. It stores no email content at all.

Trimbox is a quick way to unsubscribe from mailing lists and bulk-delete old mail from a sender. Siftbird handles the mail that keeps arriving: it triages every new email on its own, archives clutter instead of deleting it, and costs a flat $5/month.

Mailstrom groups your mail into bundles so you can clear thousands of messages at once, with plans that start at $9/month. Siftbird makes the call on each new email for you — no bundles to review — for a flat $5/month, and it stores no email content.

Leave Me Alone is built to stop unwanted senders — unsubscribing, screening, and blocking. Siftbird deals with the mail that still gets through: it triages every new email automatically for a flat $5/month, and stores no email content.
