They are competing for each other by offering more other free or paid services like Cloud storage for various documents, Applications to make daily life easier. And also some of them already have an Operating system for computing devices that make us use their products synchronizing with their email account. But there is no restriction for having multiple email accounts from them for multiple purposes. For using maximum free cloud storage, we can go for Yahoo 1 TB cloud storage. On the other side, if we are looking for the same facilities as Google, Yandex is their best competitor according to their search engine, app store, cloud storage. Yandex is also stepping forward with their own operating system called Yandex.kit. But don’t forget about Microsoft! most of the computer in this world is operated by Microsoft OS called Windows and their applications can be accessible with outlook.
After all of these differences, if we talk about compatibility, the Gmail account is considered the best email service. We can use a Gmail account for Android devices. When we use mobile devices, mostly these are based on Android and iOS. If we use Android Devices which is the biggest number of mobile devices in this world, we don’t need other email accounts.
