When it comes to the best email app for professionals, there is a clear winner that comes up on top for most people—and that's Superhuman.
Gmail & Outlook are great foundational email clients, but if you significantly want to upgrade your email experience, Superhuman is going to give you the most value (and yes, it's the most expensive also, although you can use this link to try it for free for 30 days).
Why do hundreds of thousands of professionals opt for Superhuman?
It's the same reason anyone chooses any Apple product like an iPhone or MacBook Air. It's got great minimal design, it's fast, and it's features will dramatically improve your email experience.
Take it from me—someone who refused even the idea of paying for email. Then, Alex dared me to try it for only one month. I did, and now 5 years later I am still paying for a subscription. So yeah, it's that good.
We also evaluated Superhuman's main competitors, Spark, Missive, and Hey.
But despite their lower price tags, they didn't come close to the improved efficiency we get from Superhuman.
While Spark offers a better email experience that Gmail or Outlook, it doesn't have automatic email sorting like Superhuman for email, so you're still triaging your email the same old way. The interface is also still very much like regular email.
Where Missive stands out is that they allow you to delegate emails from your inbox to other team members (without needing to share your password), which why certain Founders with exploding inboxes tend to enjoy it.
Hey, another popular email app, is more so for...well (trying to find a way to put this politely 🙃) folks who like really big buttons as a part of the interface and a super simple email experience. Less techy folks. I'd love for my grandmother to use Hey. But as a professional, it just doesn't give you that same sleek/speedy experience.
