Superhuman
The fastest email client with AI features for executives and high-volume email users
From $30/mo
What is Superhuman?
Superhuman is the email client that has built a cult following among executives, founders, and high-email-volume professionals by making email genuinely fast. The interface is keyboard-first, designed to process emails at the speed of thought. The onboarding includes a personalized 30-minute training session with a Superhuman expert — a white-glove experience that reflects the $30/mo price point.
The AI features include AI-powered email drafting, response suggestions, and a Superhuman AI that can summarize email threads, draft replies, and identify follow-up actions. The Split Inbox feature uses AI to prioritize incoming email into important vs. less critical categories, reducing cognitive load from inbox volume. Read Statuses show when recipients have opened your emails without needing a separate tracking extension.
Superhuman works with Gmail and Outlook accounts — it is a premium client layered on top of your existing email, not a separate email address. The $30/mo price is a premium for UX and speed optimization, not raw email functionality. For professionals who value deep work and want their email tool to be as fast as their thinking, Superhuman is worth the premium.
