Looking for an InboxPurge alternative?

How much does InboxPurge cost?

InboxPurge Pro is $48/year — or $7/month if you pay monthly. There's also a $5 one-time Basic pass for 7 days of unlimited use, and a 14-day money-back guarantee. The free plan starts you with 20 credits, which a real backlog cleanup uses up on day one.

For comparison, Gmailytics is free to start, then $7/quarter or $24/year — cancel anytime. The free tier covers 2,000 cleanups a month plus unlimited newsletter unsubscribes. If you only clean your inbox a few times a year (the realistic pattern for most people), the free tier is enough without ever paying.

Both are subscriptions, but Gmailytics' yearly plan is $24 vs InboxPurge's $48 — half the price for tools that solve the same core problem (bulk delete by sender, unsubscribe from newsletters). Pay quarterly at $7 and you can step away whenever you're done.

How Gmailytics works

The pitch against InboxPurge is price and structure. Gmailytics has a generous free tier — 2,000 cleanups a month plus unlimited newsletter unsubscribes. If you blow past that, Pro lifts the cap for $7/quarter or $24/year — half InboxPurge's $48/year — and you can cancel anytime.

The product itself runs as a standalone web dashboard — no Chrome sidebar required. Open Gmailytics in any browser, see a ranked list of senders by email volume, and bulk-trash, archive, or unsubscribe in one action, up to 5,000 emails per sender at a time. The dashboard also shows a storage breakdown in gigabytes per sender, so when the goal is freeing up space (not just decluttering), you can see which inbox senders take the most space before you start.

For context, InboxPurge Pro is $48/year, and its free plan starts you with 20 credits that a real backlog cleanup uses up on day one.

Why people switch from InboxPurge to Gmailytics

Cheaper paid plan. InboxPurge charges $48/year, recurring. Gmailytics Pro is $24/year — half the price — or $7/quarter if you'd rather pay as you go. That's $2/month at the yearly rate.

Free tier you can actually use. InboxPurge's free plan gives you 20 credits — usually exhausted on day one of a real cleanup. Gmailytics' free tier covers 2,000 cleanups a month. For the average user that's plenty without ever paying.

Cancel anytime. Both plans renew until you cancel, but Gmailytics is half the yearly price and the $7/quarter option lets you pay only while you're actively cleaning, then cancel in a couple of clicks when you're done.

Sender-first cleanup. Both tools support bulk delete, but Gmailytics is built around the “who's filling my inbox?” question first. You see a ranked list of senders by volume, pick who to nuke, and it's done. InboxPurge is more of a general inbox cleanup tool with multiple workflows.

Standalone dashboard. InboxPurge runs as a Gmail sidebar extension. Gmailytics runs as a standalone web dashboard you log into separately. Some people prefer the focused, dedicated UI; others prefer staying inside Gmail. Both are valid — pick the one that matches how you work.

Privacy. Neither tool sells your data. Gmailytics is CASA Tier 2 verified by Google; InboxPurge says it has cleared Google's OAuth verification and that your email data stays on your device. Privacy is table stakes — pick the one with the better price and structure.

When InboxPurge might be the better pick

We're not going to pretend Gmailytics is for everyone. If you specifically want a Chrome extension that lives inside Gmail's UI — and you don't want a separate dashboard — InboxPurge's sidebar interface is the better fit. They also have a longer track record and more brand recognition.

But if you want a generous free tier, half the yearly price ($24 vs $48), and a sender-focused workflow you can cancel anytime — Gmailytics is the cleaner choice.
