Does anybody recommend a similar mail client for Mac? I've just been using Mail's flags to maintain inbox zero but am always looking out for a better alternative.
I sincerely hope not. I think the problem is the way the App Store makes companies race to the bottom in price. Why can't they charge me (and the other 1M users on the waitlist) $1 a month as a subscription fee? I realize things will not even out completely (not all 1M users would pay $1/month), but I really do think it would be enough to sustain a true business. When these companies get bought their true feature set (and thus user base) dies out. Just look at what happened to Sparrow...
That's because it's not possible to make money with email clients.

And this is just Sparrow 2.0.

There's no way for these guys to make money. The only option is an exit, which is why it's a free product.
