The best Leave Me Alone alternative
Most comparison pages start by explaining why the competitor is terrible. This one cannot, because Leave Me Alone is a genuinely good product built by people who care about privacy. The difference is in how much you need and how much you want to hand over.

|---|---|---|
| Account required | ✓ None, not even an email address | Sign-up required |
| Price to clear a full inbox | ✓ €4.99 once, no time limit | $19 for a 7 day pass, or a subscription |
| Free tier | ✓ Free scan, full list shown | 10 free unsubscribes |
| Where the scan runs | ✓ Entirely in your browser | On their servers |
| Sells or analyses your data | ✓ Never, there is no database | No, it is paid for that reason |
| Scope of the product | ✓ Unsubscribing only | Rollups, screener, spam blocker, aliases |
The real difference is where the work happens
Leave Me Alone connects to your mailbox and does the unsubscribing from its own servers, which is what makes features like rollups and shielded addresses possible. That is a reasonable design, and they are open about it. It does mean your mail passes through infrastructure you do not control, and that you have an account there until you delete it.
in-boxed made the opposite trade. The scan runs in your browser tab, talks to Gmail or Microsoft directly, and sends each opt-out from your browser to the sender. Our servers see a payment and nothing else. There is no database, so the promise is not that we will not look, it is that there is nothing to look at. You can open your network tab while it runs and confirm that yourself.
The cost of that choice is that in-boxed cannot offer anything that needs an ongoing server-side relationship. No digests, no forwarding addresses, no screening of future mail. It does one job.
One payment, no clock running
Leave Me Alone offers ten free unsubscribes, then a seven day pass at $19 or a monthly or yearly plan. That fits someone who wants to keep managing their inbox over time.
in-boxed costs €4.99 once. Scanning is free and shows you every sender before you decide anything, so you know what you are buying. There is no pass to expire and no subscription to remember to cancel, because for most people this is a job you do twice a year, not a service you rent.
Which one you should actually pick
If you want a permanent layer between you and your inbox, with digests, a screener and alias addresses, Leave Me Alone is the better product and we would tell you to use it. If you want the newsletters gone for a few euros, without creating an account and without leaving anything behind, that is what in-boxed is for.
Questions
Is Leave Me Alone a bad tool?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Leave Me Alone is a paid product precisely so it does not have to monetise your inbox, and it says it does not store email content unless a feature requires it. If you want rollups, a screener and shielded addresses, it does more than in-boxed does.
What does in-boxed do differently?
Two things. There is no account, not even an email address, so there is no profile to create or delete. And the scan runs entirely in your browser: your mail and your access token never reach our servers, and there is no database, so there is nothing to store, leak or sell.
How do the prices compare?
Leave Me Alone lets you unsubscribe from 10 senders free, then sells a seven day pass at $19 or a monthly or yearly subscription. in-boxed charges €4.99 once, with no subscription and no time limit on the result. Scanning is free and shows the full list before you pay.
Which one should I choose?
If you want ongoing inbox management with digests, screening and alias addresses, Leave Me Alone is the fuller product. If you want to clear the backlog once, pay a few euros and leave nothing behind, in-boxed is the simpler and cheaper route.
