RECATOOLS Verdict

Superhuman Mail is still the benchmark for processing a heavy inbox from the keyboard, and its AI layer of triage labels, drafts in your own style and Ask AI is tightly built into that flow. It works on top of Gmail and Outlook, with iOS and Android apps, so it is usable anywhere in ASEAN.

It is expensive: $25 a month billed annually for Starter, $33 for Business with CRM integrations and the rest of the Superhuman suite. There is no free plan for Mail. Worth it for founders, salespeople and executives who live in email; hard to justify for light users.

What we found

Superhuman Mail is the keyboard-driven email client for Gmail and Outlook that Rahul Vohra, Vivek Sodera and Conrad Irwin built, sold for years by invitation at $30 a month and, until 2025, simply called Superhuman. Grammarly announced its acquisition on 1 July 2025 and on 29 October 2025 renamed itself Superhuman, keeping Grammarly as a product name. Mail is now one of four products in the Superhuman suite, beside Grammarly, the Superhuman Go assistant and Docs, which was Coda until July 2026. Superhuman Labs LLC still makes Mail, under Superhuman Platform Inc.

An earlier version of this page said Mail could no longer be bought on its own. The Mail pricing page says otherwise: Starter costs $25 a month billed annually, or $30 monthly, with Superhuman AI, team collaboration, and calendar and scheduling. Business, at $33 annually or $40 monthly, adds auto drafts, Ask AI, custom auto labels, CRM integrations and a Mail MCP server, and the suite page shows the same Business plan bundling Grammarly, Docs and Go. The cheaper suite tiers, Free and Pro at $12, do not include Mail. Enterprise adds single sign-on, team analytics and admin controls.

The pitch is still speed: shortcuts and a command palette, split inboxes, AI triage into labels, and replies drafted in the sender's own style. Superhuman claims this saves four hours a week, which is its own figure. This page also used to say there was no Android app; Superhuman Mail is listed on Google Play, updated on 6 October 2026.

The suite has had one reputational stumble. Grammarly's Expert Review feature framed AI suggestions as feedback from real writers, Stephen King among them. After writers objected, chief executive Shishir Mehrotra shut it down in March 2026 and apologised, and Julia Angwin filed a class action that the company calls without merit. None of it touched Mail. At $300 a year at minimum, it is a deliberate spend.

Notable facts

  • Superhuman's onboarding includes a personal 30-minute 1:1 call with a team member to teach users the keyboard shortcuts — unusual for a SaaS product but central to their premium positioning.
  • The company was profitable from relatively early, prioritising high ARPU over growth — each user pays $360/year with reportedly very low churn.
  • Superhuman's founder Rahul Vohra is the pioneer of 'product-market fit' measurement, creating the 40% rule that became standard in the startup world.
