Gmailytics is a Gmail cleanup tool that ranks every sender in an inbox by message count and storage use, then trashes or archives hundreds of that sender's emails in a single click, as described on the home page. The free tier covers 2,000 cleanups every 30 days, unlimited newsletter unsubscribes, and full sender and storage analytics, with no credit card required. For anyone who wants to bulk delete Gmail emails by sender without paging through search results fifty at a time, that is the offer.
The problem it addresses is volume. Microsoft's analysis of Microsoft 365 telemetry in "Breaking down the infinite workday" puts the average worker at 117 emails a day, most of them skimmed in under 60 seconds. Personal accounts stack newsletters, receipts, and notifications on top of that, and the mail does not go away on its own. Google's "How your Google storage works" states that every Gmail message and attachment, including items in Spam and Trash, counts toward the 15 GB shared across Gmail, Drive, and Photos.
Gmailytics runs as a web dashboard and as a browser extension, and it supports Gmail only. The sections below cover how the sender ranking works, what Gmail's own bulk tools require, what the plans cost, where the per-action cap sits, and what the tool reads from an account.
How the sender ranking works
The dashboard connects to a Gmail account and builds a table of senders, sorted by how many messages each one has sent and how much storage those messages occupy. The home page describes the core action as trashing or archiving a sender's inbox mail in one click once that ranking is in view, and states that archived mail is not scanned or cleaned. The idea is that a handful of senders usually account for most of the clutter, and dealing with them first clears the most space for the least effort.
Newsletter unsubscribes are part of the same workflow and are unlimited on the free tier above. That matches how people already behave: Optimove's "2025 Consumer Marketing Fatigue Report", a survey of 329 U.S. consumers, found that 70% had unsubscribed from at least three brands in the prior three months because of message overload, and 36% had dropped six or more.
Archive and trash are separate choices for each sender. Archiving removes mail from the inbox but keeps it in the account, so it does not reduce storage. Trashing moves mail toward deletion, with one more step covered below.
Why bulk delete Gmail emails by sender instead of using Gmail search
Gmail can do this manually, and the company's own Delete Thousands of Emails guide walks through it. The catch is that Gmail shows 50 conversations per page by default. Ticking the page checkbox and pressing delete clears those 50 and nothing else, which is why many first attempts at a bulk delete seem to do almost nothing. To reach every match, the guide points to the "Select all conversations that match this search" link that appears in a banner above the results. Only that link, not the checkbox, extends the selection past the visible page.
The guide adds two practical notes. First, raising Gmail's "Maximum page size" setting to 100 conversations per page, found under Settings, then See all settings, then General, makes it easier to review what a search caught before deleting. Second, storage is not freed until the Trash folder is emptied. A bulk delete that leaves thousands of messages sitting in Trash has not recovered any of the 15 GB quota yet.
Gmailytics shortcuts the search-and-select loop by starting from the sender table rather than from a search box. The sender, the count, and the size are already in front of you, so there is no guessing about which "from:" query to type.
Free tier, Pro plan, and the per-action cap
The free tier is described in the first paragraph. The Pro plan costs $7 per quarter or $24 per year, removes the 30-day cleanup cap, and can be canceled at any time. The pricing page also explains part of the reason Pro is paid: the company's annual CASA Tier 2 security audit costs it roughly $550 per year.
One limit applies on both plans. According to the pricing page, each trash or archive action covers up to 5,000 of a sender's inbox emails at a time. If a sender has more mail than that, the action has to be run again for the same sender until the backlog is gone. It is not an unlimited one-click wipe, and anyone with a single sender in the tens of thousands should expect several passes.
For most inboxes, the practical question is whether the free allowance of 2,000 cleanups every 30 days is enough. A cleanup pass on a few heavy senders can consume that quickly, which is where the paid plan above comes in.
What the tool reads and what it never requests
Gmailytics states on its home page that it reads only metadata: sender, date, size, labels, and read status. It does not read subject lines or message bodies. At the permission level, the app requests the gmail.modify OAuth scope, the narrowest Google permission that can trash or archive messages. That scope could in principle read full emails, but every request Gmailytics makes asks Gmail for metadata only and requests just three headers (From, Date, List-Unsubscribe), so subject lines and message bodies never reach its servers.
The privacy policy states that the company does not sell user data and encrypts stored OAuth tokens with AES-256-GCM. The database is encrypted at rest. It lists the third-party providers it relies on: Stripe for payments, Brevo for email, Formspree for contact forms, Neon for the database, and Vercel for hosting.
On the audit side, the extension page states that the app was assessed by an independent third-party security assessor and is Google CASA Tier 2 approved. For context on what that means, Google's developer documentation on "Get your app featured in the Google Workspace Marketplace" explains that apps must pass Assurance Level 2 of the Cloud Application Security Assessment, an OWASP ASVS-based third-party audit, to earn Google's independent security verification badge.
Extension, Outlook, and the Google disclaimer
The browser extension is available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, per the extension page. The Chrome version holds a 5.0-star rating on the Chrome Web Store and opens the dashboard in one click from the toolbar. Its toolbar icon also carries an unread-email badge, so the count is visible before the inbox is opened. That small signal matters more than it sounds: Roberta Phillips's "Email & Work Communications Burnout Study" for EmailTooltester, a September 2024 survey of 1,125 American adults, found an average of 32 work emails per day and that 78.7% of respondents have dreaded opening their work inbox.
Two things the extension page states plainly:
Gmailytics is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Google LLC or Gmail.
Gmailytics supports Gmail only. A companion product called PurgeInbox is listed as coming soon for Outlook users.
The next step that costs nothing is to sign in on the free tier, let the dashboard rank senders by count and storage, and clear the top few. No card is required. If the first pass uses up the 2,000-cleanup allowance before the heavy senders are gone, compare the yearly Pro option against the quarterly one, and remember to empty Trash afterward so the storage actually comes back.
