Reeva vs Tuta
Tuta (formerly Tutanota) is a Germany-based encrypted mail provider built around end-to-end encrypted messages between Tuta users. Reeva takes a different bet: privacy on top of open standards — JMAP, IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV — so every client just works. Here is how they compare.

When Reeva is the better fit
- You need IMAP / JMAP / SMTP — for Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, mobile clients.
- You want a single subscription that bundles encrypted mail, calendar and a file cloud.
- You prefer using existing clients over a single proprietary app.
When Tuta is the better fit
- End-to-end encryption between platform accounts is your top priority.
- You're comfortable using only the Tuta client (no standard IMAP / SMTP).
