| Fact | InboxSweeper | Sender Sweep |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | The product uses a scoped Gmail or Yahoo app password over IMAP rather than OAuth or Google Sign-In. | Users sign in with Microsoft and do not need a separate Sender Sweep password. |
| Privacy | The tool runs on the user's computer and says mail, credentials, and tokens are not uploaded; anonymous usage counters can be disabled with INBOXSWEEPER_NO_TELEMETRY=1. | The maker says email does not go to its servers and that its backend sees only plan and usage counts, never email. |
| Purpose | InboxSweeper bulk deletes old promotions and newsletters and unsubscribes from mailing lists. | Sender Sweep helps users see which senders fill their Outlook inbox, then bulk-delete, archive, or unsubscribe. |
