Key Takeaways
Both tools respect your privacy and never sell your data. The difference is how they charge and how much setup they require.
- Leave Me Alone is a paid tool: 10 free unsubscribes, then a $19 seven-day pass or a subscription ($9/mo or $16/mo). It connects to Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and more.
- Unsubscribetool scans your inbox free, then charges a one-time $19 Cleanup Pass (or $39/yr Pro with monitoring). It supports Gmail and Outlook.
- Pick LMA if you want the widest provider coverage. Pick Unsubscribetool if you want a free scan and a one-time cleanup with no ongoing subscription.
What Is Leave Me Alone
Leave Me Alone is a well-established, privacy-respecting unsubscribe tool launched in response to the Unroll.me data-selling scandal. Its business model is the opposite of "you are the product": you pay with money, not data. It scans your inbox, lists subscriptions, and lets you unsubscribe in bulk across multiple providers.
As of 2026 it remains actively developed, with a pricing page last updated in July 2026. It supports Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and other providers — broader than our current Gmail + Outlook coverage.

Unsubscribetool (Free Scan, Pay Once)
Unsubscribetool is built for people who want to see everything they are subscribed to for free, then pay once to clean it up — no weekly pass, no monthly subscription unless they want monitoring.
- Free inbox scan: See every subscription in about 30 seconds, no card required.
- One-time Cleanup Pass ($19): Unlimited unsubscribes, no expiry.
- Pro Audit ($39/yr): Optional ongoing monitoring for new subscriptions.
- Gmail & Outlook: The two providers most people use.
- Zero data retention: Credentials in memory only during the scan.
Leave Me Alone (Paid Credits)
Leave Me Alone is a strong pick if you want the broadest provider support and don't mind a subscription or short pass.
Pros
- Wide provider support: Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and more.
- Clear privacy stance: No data sales, no inbox monetization.
- Established product: Actively developed since the Unroll.me era.
Cons
- Small free tier: Only 10 unsubscribes before you pay.
- Recurring cost: The subscription model adds up for ongoing use; the $19 pass expires after 7 days.
- Narrower than us on one-time cost: A single cleanup with us is $19 with no expiry.
What to Look For in a Leave Me Alone Alternative
- Pricing shape: One-time cleanup vs subscription vs short pass — match it to how often you clean.
- Provider coverage: If you use iCloud or another non-Gmail/Outlook mailbox, LMA covers more today.
- Free discovery: A free scan that shows everything you are subscribed to is worth more than a 10-email teaser.
- Data stance: Confirm the tool never sells your data — both of these do.
