Meet the contenders

Whether you're a freelancer, small business owner, or corporate executive, there's an email app for you. We're here to help you decide.

Let's look at how these two email apps stack up against each other.

Mailspring

Mailspring (formerly known as Nylas Mail) is an open-source email client that supports multiple accounts. Available in Free and Pro versions, Mailspring offers both basic and advanced features suitable for student, personal, and professional users.

Superhuman

Superhuman is a keyboard-focused email client that supports a variety of email providers, including Gmail and Outlook. With more than 100 keyboard shortcuts, Superhuman is designed for professional users and teams who need to collaborate regularly. Although an excellent option for professionals who manage large volumes of messages every day, Superhuman’s robust business and productivity tools may be a bit overkill for casual users.
