Meet the contenders

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

Superhuman

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.
