The differences that change the experience
Labels describe what the cited public sources actually establish. The note under each is usually more useful than a bare yes or no.
| 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 intentionally Gmail-specific today. | 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 | 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 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. |
| 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. | Limited10 unsubscribes free; $19 seven-day pass The pass includes two accounts and unlimited unsubscribes for seven days. Recurring amounts were dynamically unavailable in the reviewed public snapshot. |

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.
