Leave Me Alone lists the mailing lists you are on and unsubscribes you from the ones you pick. Inbox Hero takes a different approach: it sorts every new email as it arrives, so the newsletters you sometimes want wait in a folder and scam emails never sit in your inbox. Updated November 10, 2026.

Where Leave Me Alone is better
- Unsubscribing is the whole product. If your only problem is too many lists, it shows them all in one place and gets you off them.
- Pay once if you want. The $19 seven-day pass lets you clean up without a subscription.
- Low price for many inboxes. Its unlimited yearly plan is $99, the same as Inbox Hero's price for one mailbox.
Where Inbox Hero is better
- It keeps working after the cleanup. New senders appear every week. Inbox Hero sorts every new email, so the inbox stays clear without another sweep.
- Scam protection. Phishing emails are written by AI now, so typos no longer give them away. Inbox Hero checks who really sent each email, where its links go and what its attachments are, and quarantines the clear scams.
- You keep the mail you sometimes want. Receipts, shipping notices and newsletters you like are filed, not cut off, and one tap brings anything back.
- More than cleanup. An AI-written score on each email, reply drafts in your voice and plain-English answers about your inbox.
Can you use both?
Yes. Use Leave Me Alone once to drop the lists you never read, then let Inbox Hero file what is left and check every new email for scams. Inbox Hero works in the background on Gmail and Google Workspace, and connects iCloud, Yahoo, AOL and other IMAP mail with an app password.
Gmail access reviewed and approved by Google after an independent security assessment.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good Leave Me Alone alternative?
If you want more than unsubscribing, Inbox Hero files newsletters and promotions out of your inbox, checks every new email for scams and phishing, shows how likely each email was written by AI and drafts replies you approve. It is free for 14 days with no card, then 27¢ a day ($99 a year) or $10 a month. If unsubscribing is all you need, Leave Me Alone is simpler.
How much does Leave Me Alone cost?
As listed on leavemealone.com in November 2026: 10 free unsubscribes with no card, then $48 a year for one inbox, $72 a year for three or $99 a year for unlimited inboxes, monthly plans from $15, or a one-off $19 seven-day pass.
Should I unsubscribe from newsletters or filter them?
Unsubscribe from lists you never read: it stops them for good. Filter the ones you sometimes want, like receipts, shipping updates and a few newsletters, so they wait in a folder instead of your inbox. Many people do both.
Does Leave Me Alone block phishing emails?
Leave Me Alone is built around unsubscribing and blocking unwanted senders. Inbox Hero adds a scam check on every new email: it verifies the sender, checks links against known phishing lists and inspects attachment types, then moves clear scams into a Fraud folder where one tap brings a message back.
