Gmail inbox cleanup, $1.2K in 30 days: scheduled sweeps
MailSweeper is a Gmail inbox cleanup service with unsubscribing, deletion, labeling, and scheduled cleanup sweeps. Its $1.2K in the last 30 days is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.
What it actually sells
MailSweeper sells automatic Gmail inbox cleanup, including bulk unsubscribe, deletion of old promotions and large attachments, labeling, and scheduled sweeps. The product also protects starred emails, important emails, and emails in the primary inbox by default.
Users connect through Google login and can trigger cleanup for years of inbox clutter. MailSweeper presents itself as a tool for keeping a Gmail inbox tidy through recurring cleanup actions.
How it charges
MailSweeper lists an Annual plan at $24/year, a Lifetime plan at $99 once, and a Family plan at $49/year for up to 5 inboxes. The yearly subscription is flexible and cancelable anytime; the lifetime option has no recurring charges. The site also shows “Lifetime” and “Family” pricing options.

Where it sits in the data
MailSweeper's $1.2K in the last 30 days is higher than 77% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Productivity” category (1,856 projects) it is higher than 83% (category median $102). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
My view is that demand would come from Gmail users who want a smaller, tidier inbox without handling unsubscribe and cleanup manually. The buyer is an individual inbox owner, while the Family plan is aimed at households with up to 5 inboxes.
My view is that distribution could come from a blog, affiliates, and the signup surface around Google login. Building it would require handling Gmail permissions, automated actions, default protections, account support, and competition from other inbox tools.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
MailSweeper shows a product built around a narrow inbox task: removing old promotions, unsubscribing from lists, and scheduling cleanup. Its pricing combines a low yearly option with a one-time lifetime payment and a household plan.
