Alternatives to Superhuman
Speed-obsessed premium email
Superhuman ranks #19 of 22 in Email clients, with an Alt Score of 55. It is proprietary, sold by subscription from €40/month and available on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Web. 7 of 11 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Busy professionals and teams with high email volume — such as founders, salespeople, and executives — who use Gmail or Outlook and want to spend less time in their inbox.
A fast, keyboard-driven email client with 100+ shortcuts and a Cmd+K command palette so you rarely need a mouse. Split Inbox auto-sorts messages into categories like Important, VIP, and Calendar, while AI features draft replies, summarize threads, and triage incoming mail. Other features include read receipts, scheduled send, follow-up reminders, and snippets for common responses.
Superhuman connects to your existing Gmail or Outlook account as a client, syncing your mail rather than replacing your provider. An onboarding session teaches the keyboard shortcuts and workflow, after which you triage, reply to, and manage email primarily through keystrokes and the command palette instead of clicking.
