Superhuman
Premium AI email client for Gmail and Outlook focused on speed, keyboard workflows, summaries, and drafting for high-volume professionals. Grammarly renamed itself Superhuman in October 2025 and sells Superhuman Mail as one product in its suite alongside Grammarly, Coda and Superhuman Go.
Founders, executives, and sales professionals who live in Gmail or Outlook and will pay for a faster client with AI triage and drafting.
Support or ops teams that mainly need shared assignees and internal comments across a company mailbox, or buyers who refuse premium per-seat email pricing.
Verdict
Superhuman is a good fit when email volume is high and Gmail or Outlook still feels slow for power users. Published Starter and Business seats are easy to budget, and AI features such as Ask AI and Auto Drafts are part of the Business story. Practitioners praise keyboard speed and split inbox habits; teams that need shared company-inbox ops may still prefer Missive, and buyers who only want cheap triage may land on SaneBox first.
