Smart. Focused. Email. Fast, cross-platform email designed to filter out the noise - so you can focus on what's important.
Spark is an email client that is designed to help you get through your inbox faster. Spark has a mixture of both Superhuman and Hey features, with a tiny bit of Missive for team collaboration.
Spark is miles better than Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, both on desktop and on your phone and we can't think of a reason why someone wouldn't use Spark—they even have a generous free tier.
While we can't say Spark wins the category for the best email client (our top pick is Superhuman as they put slightly more TLC into their features and design), Spark is certainly the best email application that offers a free version.
The truth of the matter is that while Spark and Superhuman seem to have similar features on the surface, Superhuman does go that extra mile with TLC into each feature and is built more for professional use. There's a reason why we've been using Superhuman here at Efficient App for 5+ years, and can't imagine using anything else.
While Spark's interface is miles better than Gmail or Outlook, it still feels—well—like email. Superhuman gives your entire email app a facelift with its beautiful minimal design, consistent colors, fonts, and automatic resizing of emails to make them readable no matter your screen size.
Overall, if you're a professional who wants the best email client, doing a 30-day free trial of Superhuman is probably worth it alongside Spark, to really compare the two tools and see which one you get the most out of.
Spark took one of Hey's most popular features, "The Screener," and made their own version of it called "The Gatekeeper." It's the same idea, giving users the ability to thumbs up or thumbs down a sender, indicating if you want to allow emails from this sender in your inbox or not.
If email delegation or team collaboration is the main reason you're looking for an email client, we'd say Missive might be the best to check out. The reason? Missive allows you to have a central inbox for any business-related messages (beyond email) — from social media apps, to SMS, to WhatsApp. Missive's collaborative features are also more established than Spark's, so you'll get a more reliable experience.

Outlook is an email client and calendar for companies and individuals built by Microsoft
If you're a larger enterprise, you're likely using Outlook instead of Gmail (Google Workspace), to manage your email and calendar for work.
That said, most startups and quick growing companies use Google Workspace, so if you're looking into Gmail vs Outlook, we believe Gmail is the clear winner here. It just has a more user-friendly experience all-around, and has significantly more integrated tools (the most modern tools integrate with Gmail over Outlook).
In addition, you'll get deep Single-Sign-On with Google that you don't get with the Microsoft 365 suite, which just makes logging into many other tools significantly easier.
With that, Microsoft did acquire the beloved Sunrise calendar back in the day before killing it off and rolling it into Outlook. So the Outlook calendar should be quite decent in theory, although they seemed to strip some of the best things we miss about Sunrise from Outlook. We've looked elsewhere to fill our Sunrise void, now with Motion.
