Unroll.me alternatives, and what each does with your mail

The best Unroll.me alternative is Alrighty if you use a Mac with iCloud, Gmail or Outlook and want to stop unwanted senders from inside your mail app. Leave Me Alone is the closest match to Unroll.me itself, with bulk unsubscribing and a daily digest, on many kinds of accounts. Clean Email suits cleaning up from an iPhone or Android. SaneBox files low-priority mail for you without changing apps. Gmail's Manage subscriptions and Apple Mail's unsubscribe banner are free and already in your mail app.

Most people who look for an Unroll.me alternative have read what Unroll.me does with their mail. Its own privacy notice says it provides data from the commercial emails you receive to its customers, and it names data brokers among them. So this page leads with that, then gives each alternative's data policy in its own words, and ends with how to close your Unroll.me account properly.

How we checked

We read Unroll.me's privacy notice, home page, app page and App Store listing on November 3, 2026, along with each alternative's own pricing, help and privacy pages. Every fact about another company links to its source. Where a vendor's page didn't state something, we leave it out. Alrighty is our app, and it is listed first. For a full side-by-side of every cleanup tool, see our guides to the best email cleaner app and the best app to unsubscribe from emails. This page is for one question: you're leaving Unroll.me, so what replaces it?

Why are people leaving Unroll.me?

People leave Unroll.me because of its data model. Unroll.me is free because data from your inbox is part of what it sells. Its privacy notice says so in plain words:

• When you sign up, "we will collect copies of and information from the commercial email messages you receive."
• "We provide data about and derived from the Commercial Emails that you receive to some of our customers." It lists those customers as "e-commerce businesses, investment companies, consumer brands, media companies, and data brokers."
• It calls this processing its "consumer panel."
• Unrollme LLC is "a NielsenIQ company." Its data page describes NielsenIQ as "an e-commerce measurement and consumer data company," and says your data, "together with the data of millions of other panelists," is used to find market trends.

Unroll.me also states limits. The data page says "Your identifiable personal information will never be sold or shared to directly target you," and its research products "do not include personally identifiable information." For Gmail, the privacy notice says "Unroll.Me will not use this Gmail data for serving advertisements." It keeps your data "for as long as reasonably necessary," with no fixed period.

There is history too. In 2019 the US Federal Trade Commission finalized a settlement with Unrollme. The FTC alleged that it told people it would not "touch" their personal emails, while it "shared users' email receipts from completed transactions with Unrollme's parent company, Slice Technologies, Inc." The order bars it from misrepresenting how it collects and shares information, and required it to delete stored e-receipts from those users unless they gave "affirmative, express consent."

None of this is hidden. Unroll.me tells you up front. But if you don't want your commercial email feeding a consumer data business, you need a tool whose business is the tool itself. If you're also looking at Cleanfox, our Cleanfox alternatives cover its NielsenIQ panel and how to opt out.

What Unroll.me does, and what you need to replace

Before you pick a replacement, list the jobs Unroll.me did for you. There are three.

• Block. Its home page says you can "block unwanted emails, keep the ones you want, and rollup the rest into a single daily digest." Its app page adds that you can "select multiple (or all) subscriptions and bulk block, keep, or rollup."
• Unsubscribe. The home page never uses the word. Its App Store listing does: "Select multiple subscriptions and unsubscribe, keep, or rollup all at once!"
• Rollup. The daily digest gathers the newsletters you don't want to block but don't want in your inbox either. The app "will notify you whenever you have new emails in your rollup."

Accounts. Its home page says it "Supports Major Email Providers," with unlabeled logos. The App Store listing names them: "Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo!, AOL, Outlook and Google Apps."

Platforms. The app page offers "Download for iOS" and "Download for Android," and you can sign up on the web. The App Store listing covers iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision, not the Mac. The service is free; we found no paid plan on its pages.

The jobs to replace. If you used Unroll.me mostly to leave lists, any tool below does that. If you lived in the Rollup, few do: of the alternatives here, Leave Me Alone is the one whose pages describe a digest. And if you want new mail from a sender kept out after you leave their list, look at what each tool does when a sender keeps sending.

Alrighty: best Unroll.me alternative for desktop

Alrighty is a mail app for Mac, Windows and Linux that puts iCloud, Gmail and Outlook accounts in one inbox. It replaces Unroll.me's block and unsubscribe jobs with one action inside the app you read mail in, instead of a separate web service.

• Stop mail. One click on a sender unsubscribes you in every way the message offers: one-click, an email to the list, or the list's web page. It archives the mail you already have from them, and moves new mail from them out as it arrives. So a sender who ignores the unsubscribe still doesn't reach your inbox.
• Clean up. It lists the senders you probably don't want, such as scams, cold outreach and newsletters you never open, so you can stop them all at once. This is the closest match to Unroll.me's list of subscriptions.
• Safe unsubscribing. Alrighty only contacts senders whose mail passed DMARC and wasn't marked as spam, so a scammer doesn't learn that your address is live. When the only way out is the list's web page, it finishes the unsubscribe in a browser on its server, so the sender sees neither your computer nor its address.
• Phishing checks. A message that is sure to be phishing goes to Junk. A likely one stays, with a warning.

Price. A 14-day trial with no card, then a Free plan or Pro. There are no ads on any plan.

Data policy, in one line. Your mail stays with iCloud, Google or Microsoft, and Alrighty keeps its copy on your computer, but its AI features send the emails they need to its server and on to OpenAI and other model companies.

Where your mail goes, in full. Your passwords and tokens stay on your computer, encrypted with a key from your system's keychain, and no Alrighty server holds them. To sort senders for Clean up, Alrighty sends each sender's address, three facts the receiving mail server found about the message, and up to 3 of that sender's newest emails (up to 2,000 characters each) to its server. The server asks an AI model to sort them. Its privacy page names OpenAI, Together AI and TypeSafe AI as the model companies it uses. While you're signed in, Clean up sorts senders in the background, and opening a reply starts a suggested draft. Connecting your own AI is off until you turn it on. Signed out, nothing goes to Alrighty's server.

What it can't do. There's no iPhone, Android or web app, so you can't replace Unroll.me's phone app with it. It takes iCloud, Gmail and Outlook accounts only, not Yahoo, AOL, Fastmail or other IMAP. It has no daily digest like Rollup. It's a full mail app, so you switch apps to use it, and it's new, with no long track record.

Pick it if you're on a computer with iCloud, Gmail or Outlook and want to leave lists and keep their mail out from the app you already read in.

Leave Me Alone: closest to Unroll.me, without the data panel

Leave Me Alone does the same jobs as Unroll.me: it puts your subscriptions in one list to opt out of, and it rolls newsletters into a digest (Leave Me Alone). It "works with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, Fastmail, iCloud, and many more!" and runs in your browser. It also has a Screener that holds back cold mail from senders you haven't approved.

Data policy, in one line. "We don't sell user data" (privacy).

What it keeps. Its privacy page is specific. For a Rollup, it fetches and stores "the content of emails that you receive from that sender," and removes it three months after the Rollup is sent. Spam Blocker, when you turn it on, reads "body text of the emails" and may keep encrypted samples to train its own classifiers. "Deleting your account doesn't immediately remove samples already collected from your mail." It says "We do not use any private AI companies (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) to classify emails or create summaries." It asks Gmail for permission to "View and modify but not delete your email" (security).

Price. "Unsubscribe from 10 emails for free - no credit card required." Paid yearly, it's $48 a year for 1 inbox, $72 for 3 and $99 for unlimited inboxes (pricing).

What it can't do. It isn't a mail app; you read in one place and clean in another.

Pick it if you liked Unroll.me's list and Rollup and want the same jobs from a company that says it doesn't sell user data, on Yahoo, AOL or Fastmail too.

Clean Email: best for cleaning up from your phone

Clean Email covers Unroll.me's phone use. It "works across iPhone and iPad, Android, Mac, and the web" (Clean Email). It "will send unsubscribe requests on your behalf," and can block lists and senders that ignore those requests. Its subscription tools also offer "Read Later, Pause, or Keep Newest." It takes "Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, Fastmail, all IMAP-based email providers" (Clean Email).

Data policy, in one line. "We will never sell or rent your email address," and it does not sell, rent or share personal data for third-party advertising (privacy).

What it reads. It indexes your mailbox on its servers and "accesses email metadata, including sender and recipient details, subjects, dates, folders, labels." When you open a full preview, it retrieves and processes that message's body. If you connect an AI assistant, it shares data with that app's provider.

Price. A free account lets you "clean up to 1,000 email messages at no cost to you," and a 14-day Premium trial needs no credit card (help). Paid plans for 1, 5 or 10 accounts cost $9.99, $19.99 or $29.99 a month, or $29.99, $49.99 or $99.99 a year (plans).

What it can't do. It doesn't replace your mail app. We found no daily digest like Rollup on its pages. If you're weighing it, our Clean Email alternatives page covers what it keeps after you leave.

Pick it if you used Unroll.me's iPhone or Android app and want to keep cleaning from your phone.

SaneBox: best for filing mail instead of blocking it

SaneBox works differently from Unroll.me. It connects to your mailbox and sorts mail into folders as it arrives, so low-priority mail never sits in your inbox. It "works with every major email service such as Gmail, Microsoft 365, Apple iCloud, Yahoo! Mail and Fastmail," and "any IMAP, Microsoft Exchange or ActiveSync server" (SaneBox). It "Unsubscribes you from unwanted senders in one click," and BlackHole removes a sender "from your inbox for good."

Data policy, in one line. "We only access the envelope and header data associated with your emails," and "we do not sell your personal data in any manner" (privacy).

AI. Its AI features are opt-in. With them on, "SaneBox may now process the body content of your emails to provide summaries," and it says "We never store the full body of your emails after processing is complete."

Price. "Our plans start at just $7 per month" (SaneBox). There's a free trial, but its pages give two different lengths. No free plan.

What it can't do. It's a monthly subscription, where Unroll.me was free. It files mail; filing alone doesn't stop the sender.

Pick it if you want ongoing sorting on any provider, and you'll pay for a service whose policy limits it to headers.

Gmail Manage subscriptions: best free replacement for Gmail

If all your mail is Gmail, Gmail now does Unroll.me's main job for free. On a computer, expand More in the left sidebar and select Manage subscriptions. Next to each sender, click Unsubscribe (Google).

Data policy, in one line. It's part of Gmail, so no new company gets access to your mail.

What it does. "Gmail unsubscribes you from all active mailing lists related to the sender." Senders "may take a few days to process the request," so new mail from them goes to Spam in the meantime, with a banner.

What it can't do. Gmail accounts only. Google says the feature "is gradually rolling out and may not be available to you yet." There's no digest.

Pick it if you only have Gmail and want nothing new connected to it.

Apple Mail: best free replacement for a few lists

Mail on the Mac shows a banner under the header of mailing-list mail. "In the banner, click Unsubscribe, then click OK in the alert that appears" (Apple). For a sender who keeps sending, click the arrow beside their name and choose Block Sender. "You can block up to 3,000 senders."

Data policy, in one line. It runs in Mail on your Mac, so no new company gets access to your mail.

What it can't do. It works one message at a time. There's no list of all your subscriptions and no digest.

Pick it if you only get a few lists you want to leave and you already use Apple Mail.

How to leave Unroll.me

Switching apps doesn't close your Unroll.me account or remove its access to your mailbox. Do both.

1. Delete your Unroll.me account. Do it in Unroll.me's settings on the web or in its app. Its privacy notice says "We are unable to delete your information without also deleting your account," so closing the account is the only way to have your information deleted.
2. Remove its access to Gmail. Deleting the account doesn't revoke the permission you gave it. Open your Google Account's linked apps page, select Access to your Google Account, choose Unroll.Me, then See details, Remove access and Confirm.
3. Remove it from other accounts. For Outlook, Yahoo, AOL or iCloud, remove Unroll.me from that account's list of connected apps. If you gave it an app-specific password, delete that password.
4. Set up the replacement. Connect the new tool, then leave the lists you still get. For a sender who ignores you, block them: how to block a sender in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail has the steps. For big brands like LinkedIn, turn their email off in their own settings: see stop emails.

Questions

Does Unroll.me sell your data?

Its privacy notice says it provides "data about and derived from the Commercial Emails that you receive" to customers, including investment companies and data brokers. It says your directly identifiable information is not sold or shared to target you. So data from your inbox is sold as part of a consumer panel, without your name on it.

Is Unroll.me still free?

Yes. Its home page offers "Sign Up For Free," and its App Store listing shows the app as free. We found no paid plan on its pages. The data panel is how the service is paid for.

Does deleting Unroll.me remove its access to my email?

No. Deleting the account and revoking its access are two steps. Delete the account in Unroll.me, then remove it from your Google Account's linked apps, or from your other provider's connected apps.

Is there an Unroll.me alternative with a daily digest?

Leave Me Alone has Rollups, a digest of the newsletters you choose. Its privacy page says it stores the content of those emails and removes it three months after the Rollup is sent. Of the other tools here, none describe a digest on the pages we read.

Is there an Unroll.me alternative for Mac?

Alrighty and Apple Mail run on the Mac, and Clean Email has a Mac app. Unroll.me runs on the web, iPhone, iPad and Android; its App Store listing doesn't include the Mac. On a Mac, Alrighty needs Apple silicon.
