Cleanfox vs Gmail Unsubscriber

Cleanfox is a free service for removing unwanted email and unsubscribing from newsletters. It identifies recurring senders and lets users decide what to keep before cleaning. For a newsletter, users can remove all its messages, delete received emails while staying subscribed, or keep it. Mail support includes Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, iCloud Mail, and most other providers. Card and list views help sort newsletters, with bulk actions in list view; users can add multiple mailboxes and sort them together. Automatic cleanup rules are available. An initial mailbox scan takes an average of 30 minutes to 3 hours. Deleted messages move to the mailbox trash and remain recoverable until the email provider empties it, typically after 5 to 30 days. Cleanfox says it uses end-to-end encryption, does not read or sell emails, and anonymizes newsletter and commercial-transaction data for market statistics. It says users are not targeted by advertising. Attachment downloading and deletion is marked “Soon.” Cleanfox is available on Android, iOS, and the web.

Gmail Unsubscriber is a free, open-source Google Apps Script for unsubscribing from unwanted newsletters and other bulk email in Gmail. It looks through bulk messages for unsubscribe links and opens them; when a sender requires an email to unsubscribe, the script can send one to a special address. Setup involves copying a Google Sheet to Drive, configuring the script from Gmail's menu, and allowing it to access your Gmail account. Messages with the configured Gmail label are processed automatically, typically within 10–15 minutes, and the script records activity in the Sheet. You can add messages to the queue from Gmail on the web or mobile apps, Microsoft Outlook, or Apple Mail by applying the label or moving a message to the Unsubscribe folder as appropriate. The project uses Gmail labels and a Google Sheet and carries an MIT License. Its maker says the script runs without storing or uploading data and does not require access to a third-party service. The listed free plan costs nothing.
