Looking for a SaneBox alternative?
SaneBox runs $9.49–$42.99/month with no free tier — and it's built to filter your incoming mail, with backlog cleanup as a side tool. If the actual problem is 30,000 old emails and a full Google storage bar, Gmailytics attacks that directly: bulk delete by sender, one-click unsubscribe, storage analytics. Free for 2,000 cleanups/mo, then $7/quarter or $24/year.

How much does SaneBox cost?
SaneBox has three meal-themed plans: Snack at $9.49/month (one email account, a couple of features), Lunch at $15.99/month (two accounts, more features), and Dinner at $42.99/month (four accounts, everything). Paying yearly brings them to $65, $109 and $319, so the cheapest realistic price is $65/year — and a power user on Dinner pays $319/year.
There's no free tier — just a 7-day trial, after which every plan is paid.
Gmailytics is free for 2,000 cleanups a month, then $7/quarter or $24/year — cancel anytime — with pricing published on /pricing.
The real difference: filtering vs cleaning
SaneBox and Gmailytics solve different halves of the email problem. SaneBox is a filter: its AI watches incoming mail and shunts the unimportant stuff into folders like SaneLater, so your inbox stays calmer from today forward. It's genuinely good at that.
Cleaning isn't its core job. Its Email Deep Clean tool can move old mail from senders you pick to Trash, but day to day SaneBox sorts mail rather than clearing it. The newsletters keep arriving — SaneBlackHole hides senders rather than actually unsubscribing you from their lists.
Gmailytics is the cleanup half: it ranks every sender in your Gmail by volume and storage, bulk-trashes or archives thousands of emails per sender in one action, and sends real unsubscribe requests. Many people need one big cleanup, not a $9.49–$42.99/month forever-subscription.
When SaneBox might be the better pick
If your problem is ongoing volume — hundreds of legitimate emails a day that need triage, across Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, or any IMAP account — SaneBox's AI filtering is the right shape of tool, and it has a long track record. Features like SaneLater, reminders, and snoozing are aimed at busy professionals living in email.
If your problem is a bloated Gmail inbox — years of newsletters, receipts, and notifications eating your storage — you don't need a $9.49–$42.99/month filter. You need one good cleanup and an unsubscribe pass, which Gmailytics does free to start.
