How to compare fairly

Do not pick the longest feature list. Start with the cleanup job and the trust model you want. A strong tool should make the next action obvious, explain what will change, and fit the mailbox you actually use.

  • Does the tool show important mail before cleanup?
  • Do actions wait for approval, or run in the background?
  • Does it work with Gmail only, or many providers?
  • Is the free model a scan, a trial, or a free product with another business model?
