Overview

Grammarly bought Superhuman in mid-2025, then renamed itself Superhuman and folded the email client in as "Superhuman Mail" alongside Grammarly's writing tools and Coda docs. New users only get Mail on the $33–40/month Business tier — no more standalone plan.

RECATOOLS Verdict

Superhuman built its name as the fastest keyboard-driven email client, and that muscle memory is still the appeal: split inboxes, instant send, AI triage and auto-drafted replies pulled from your own writing style. What changed is who owns it and how you buy it. Grammarly acquired Superhuman in mid-2025, then renamed the entire company Superhuman that October, bundling the email client — now "Superhuman Mail" — with Grammarly's writing tools and the Coda workspace into one suite. New signups can no longer buy Mail on its own; it only ships inside the $33-$40/month Business tier, alongside CRM integrations and unlimited automations. G2 reviewers still rate it highly (4.7/5 across 14,000+ reviews) for speed, but flag slower AI performance since the merger and no Android app. Fine from ASEAN, but pricier than ever for solo users.

What people say

Two years is a long time in AI branding. Superhuman launched in 2014 as a $30-a-month, invite-only email client for people who process hundreds of messages a day — split inboxes, zero mouse use, AI triage sorting mail into Important, Other, and newsletters. That product still exists, but the company around it doesn't: Grammarly bought Superhuman in mid-2025, then renamed itself Superhuman that October and folded Mail in alongside Grammarly's writing assistant, the Coda workspace, and a new cross-app agent called Superhuman Go.

Practically, that means access changed. New users can't buy Superhuman Mail on its own anymore — it only comes bundled into the Business tier, $33/month billed annually or $40 month-to-month, alongside CRM hookups for HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive and unlimited automations. A cheaper Pro tier ($12–15/month) exists but doesn't include Mail at all; it's aimed at Grammarly's writing and doc users. Enterprise pricing is custom, with SSO and DLP layered on top.

The reviews still back up the speed claim. G2 shows over 14,000 reviews averaging 4.7/5, and the praise is consistent: keyboard shortcuts, snippets, and thread summaries that genuinely cut inbox time for heavy email users. The complaints post-merger are just as consistent — no Android app, no email preview pane, and several reviewers reporting the AI features got slower after the Grammarly integration landed.

For ASEAN executives and founders already paying for a premium inbox, none of this breaks the pitch — the tool works the same way it always did. But budget for the higher bundled price, and don't assume the standalone $25–30 plan long-time users remember is still on offer; it isn't.

Summary of public user & expert reviews, compiled by RECATOOLS.

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.
