Superhuman Email Review 2025! Say Bye to Gmail & Outlook? 👋

[@efficientapp]

Get 1-Month FREE: efficient.link/r/superhuman 🎁 Are you using an email client like Superhuman? If so, what have you tried and what do you like best about what you're currently using?

[@ASJB79]

sorry guys, the deal link just doesn't work..

[@efficientapp]

UPDATE: It should be fixed now - efficient.link/r/superhuman Thanks for the heads-up! Superhuman is having some issues it seems, is this what you're experiencing: cloud.eff.li/CLMMr91R ? Just reached out to their team to get fixed ASAP-super appreciate you reaching out and will comment once it's fixed!

[@efficientapp]

UPDATE: It should be fixed now, can you try giving it a shot again? efficient.link/r/superhuman just tested it in 2 browsers incognito and it seems to be working now.

[@urka4945]

@@efficientapp yes it does. Just sent this link to my porsche dealer.

[@urka4945]

Im a week into it. Now I can say that I love intuitive keyboard shortcuts. Also whats great it sorts emails based on email importance. My favorite feature is I can unsend emails!!!!

[@scottaltham6189]

All I'd say is that spark email does pretty much the exact same thing as superhuman (its fast, its clean, allows split, has ai, keyboard shortcuts, snoozing, swipe actions, marking as done and can gatekeep your emails) but for a hell of a lot less money per month (effectively 5 a month vs 30)

[@efficientapp]

We've found them to be quite different in more specific ways. Spark is good for individuals, but when truly working with a team, Superhuman is a better experience. We actually did a full comparison on our site here: efficient.app/compare/superhuman-vs-spark If the cost is a major concern though then I get it. That said, for a business to justify the extra $25/mo is a no-brainer in the time savings in our experience.

[@timhill2487]

Try adding 10 accounts to Spark and watch cpu usage. momma mia.

[@Abdullah-zl9ub]

Spark doesn’t have Shortcuts for everything, also there are no rules/smart folders. Also autocomplete AI not there. I have just tested it as I was thinking of checking SH alternatives.

[@efficientapp]

Yeah we have a good friend who uses Spark and he’s always saying he’s quite bummed by the lack of rules/smart sorting of emails! We haven’t found a better alternative to SH to date 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@mr.octopus-plag]

Agree with the comments on Spark lacking some features but there are others I’m not seeing in Superhuman that are great, main one is grouping by sender. This feature only tied me with Spark, too many emails suddenly turning into just a few groups of emails! Dozens of Amazon emails? Done, all archived in one click. AI summary improved every day and give me different ways of doing it. It’s more than enough for me as a better email service, and as I’m working with only two accounts. It’s also super fast. I can’t justify to myself spending 30 bucks per month while Spark is already in my Setapp account, zero extra costs.

[@derekkelly485]

I’d love a video on your whole tech stack as I’ve watched many of your videos. So far I see Motion and Superhuman, but I wonder what else. As an agency owner with multiple different hats and team members, time really matters.

[@efficientapp]

That's a great idea for a video! We're trying to work through some of our backlog based on questions that people were asking at the time (e.g. how does your team set up and use Motion? How does Motion compare to Reclaim?), so that would explain why you're seeing that. That said, to mentally prepare you, we do have another Motion video coming out in a couple weeks answering the "how did you set up Motion" that has been in the works for over a month now (scripting, recording, screen recordings, it has been a lot of work). You missed Copper CRM from the list actually (our stack), this video covers that one efficient.yt/crm - But if you want the full list, you can actually find it on the website here (realizing the page is a bit hidden atm): efficient.app/stacks/efficient Working on migrating our stack to our other site actually where we document more software stacks for companies, but it's missing a few tools that we use: stacks.efficient.app/apps/efficient-app But we'll keep this comment pinned and think about how we can do a video around this... spoiler is that we use a LOT of tools internally for different thing. Most would be shocked to learn, but there's a place for each tool, I promise! 😅 This comment means a lot to us, appreciate you checking out many of our videos, it's super encouraging to read. Excited to see you around more and hope the above helps! Happy to answer any specific questions you might have right here in the comments! Also we might talk more about our stack and software we're impressed by in our newsletter here: efficient.app/access See you around! 👋

[@tomwynn921]

this is a great encapsulation of the features and why you would want them. Good video!

[@efficientapp]

Awe thanks! This means a lot 🙏 so are you using Superhuman? If so, what feature do you like best? ☺️

[@DavidSVega-cu1dv]

Blown away by the quality of your reviews and website! It feels like this is one of the few channels I've seen that really just makes sense, in the way you talk about things. It's not overly hyped, and you really thought of a lot of use cases. I don't think I'll find a better review of this particular product, honestly. Thank you!

[@efficientapp]

Your comment just made our day! We definitely try to take our real-world experience with the tools we review and provide as much info as we can in our videos, so it means a lot for you to take notice and leave this comment! 🙌 🥲 Thank you!

[@DavidSVega-cu1dv]

@@efficientapp so glad to hear that! 🥹 It definitely does seem like you guys deeply use the things you review, and the husband/wife duo is honestly inspiring. Best wishes!

[@efficientapp]

Dawww, we just saw this and it made our day! 🤗 Appreciate you!

[@FathomSoundProAudio]

Seconded! This is essentially what I was planning to comment. Your calm nature, clear explanations, and concise delivery are fantastically helpful, useful, motivating, and inspiring in many aspects. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@efficientapp]

Oh wow, the support means a lot 🥹 will have to reference this video for how we do future videos to keep it going then! Curious, did you end up moving forward with Superhuman? Or just in the evaluation stage checking things out?

[@EMPujols]

Any thoughts on Superhuman user experience for Android? I'm considering installing it for my startup but it has a bunch of negative reviews (4.0/5) I watched the video a couple of days ago and don't remember if it was mentioned. Thanks in advance.

[@efficientapp]

Hey hey! Yep, so I use Superhuman on Android (Andra uses Superhuman on iOS), so you actually get both sides with us 😁 I've had no major issues with Superhuman on Android though, it's near identical to the iOS app and they've done a good job with it. Unlike what most companies do (using React Native and shared codebase), it seems they built native for both Android and iOS, so yeah, it's a great experience. Your best bet though would be to just grab a free 30 day trial here: efficient.link/r/superhuman (make sure it has code EFFICIENT at checkout, as that'll give you a free 30 days), and see for yourself. But yeah, I've been a big fan of it on desktop and Android, no problems here!

[@Abdullah-zl9ub]

Hey, what’s a second option to think about if not superhuman?

[@efficientapp]

Have you tried Superhuman? You can get a free 30-days if you haven't yet as I'm sure you might be surprised: efficient.link/r/superhuman - that said, if you've tried it, we've covered other solutions on the video here: efficient.link/yt/help-desk and also have write-ups on our site covering more solutions here: efficient.link/email Those links should help answer your question!

[@bobDotJS]

I wish I would have gotten into superhuman when I had tons of emails.

[@efficientapp]

It sounds like it's better that you got out of a role in which you had a ton of emails instead 😉

[@highlandsjames]

Why doesn't Superhuman have a team chat functionality? i.e. you want to collab on an email that's come in, with Superhuman I see no way of doing this. Isn't this basic functionality for a team-orientated email solution?

[@efficientapp]

What you're describing is more the use-case of a help desk. That said, Superhuman is working on more team collaboration features like this, e.g. being able to share externally with others an email you received, I'm sure being able to comment on it as a team member and such is surely to come. That's where they seem to be headed, hold tight!

[@FreddyVervaet-l1v]

How can y see my onread e mails and reed e mails?😮

[@efficientapp]

It has a tracking pixel in the email sent, it loads when you open the email, which tells the other side that you opened the email. Huge benefit to using something like Superhuman to know when people are opening your emails (if at all). No excuse not to just try it out though since you can get a free 30 day trial here: efficient.link/r/superhuman

[@agoogleuser6937]

6:30 When you type :p, does your computer displays emojis? Or is it superhuman?

[@efficientapp]

That’s Superhuman! : brings up emojis and you just start typing the one you want. We use Raycast for emojis outside of Superhuman!

[@agoogleuser6937]

@@efficientapp i use ms windows 😔

[@efficientapp]

It'll do that for you if you use Superhuman inside of email even on Windows 👌

[@JujoOfficial]

Nice video! Almost makes me want to go back to Superhuman 😂🙏

[@efficientapp]

Haha we hear you! I don't know, I just couldn't get into Hey, it feels a bit too cartoon-y, big buttons/interface, and feels slower in using on the day-to-day. Maybe for more personal usage it could be okay, but for business usage, more just want to get in and out quickly, leveraging speed and shortcuts. What is it that you're missing most from Superhuman since switching to Hey? And is it just for personal usage? Or business usage too?

[@JujoOfficial]

@@efficientapp Oh yes, I agree! The cartoon-y design and how slow it is are by far the biggest drawbacks. I actually use a mix of Hey & HubSpot for business, so what I’m missing the most from Superhuman is definitely the speed, shortcuts & AI. What I love about Hey is the focus on privacy and the fact that I feel much more in control of my inbox, it’s also much cheaper 😂 I really thought that Superhuman’s speed would solve my problems, but unfortunately it didn’t really help me deal with my emails, it just made it faster to go through the mountains of junk I get everyday. I think that what I really want from my emails is to simply not have a ton of random bs and be able to focus on what really matters to me.

[@efficientapp]

Sounds like you my friend actually need more of a tool like Mailman - efficient.link/r/mailman or Inbox Zero - efficient.link/r/inbox-zero to help solve your email junk problem from right within Gmail/Superhuman instead of using a totally separate tool. That said, the problem will always be that the best tools integrate with Gmail/Google Workspace, they will never integrate with Hey, so you're actually giving up quite a bit of future integration potential by using something like Hey. Same with tools like Motion, they need to connect into your Google Workspace/Gmail/Outlook/iCloud account to use the calendar, so you're giving up being able to even really use those tools effectively when you choose something like Hey. There's a lot you're giving up, and I don't see any of these tools integrating with Hey (they don't even have an API available, and knowing the team behind them, don't see that coming any time soon if ever). So it's more about "who is the ICP (ideal customer profile) of Hey?" and that it's really not business owners or founders at all.

[@joshuasaposnekoo1421]

Happen to know how many emails I can load onto one superhuman account?

[@efficientapp]

You can add as many as you'd like. I use it for my work, personal, and VC emails (all separate emails), even used to have my school email as well. So while they might have a technical limit, I haven't been able to hit it (all included in the same monthly cost). Why not just try giving it a shot with a free 30 trial to see: efficient.link/r/superhuman Are you trying to just connect a mixture of personal and work accounts?

[@joshuasaposnekoo1421]

@@efficientapp yes multiple brands

[@efficientapp]

Got it, yep! You can definitely do that 👌 give it a shot and let us know how it goes! efficient.link/r/superhuman

[@truefirstmagic]

If it supported iCloud mail, it would be a no-brainer for me to try. While the majority of my email is through gmail accounts, I'd say a good 25-30% of my email is through iCloud. Not sure if I want to run two different mail clients simultaneously until Superhuman supports iCloud.

[@efficientapp]

Completely and totally fair-yeah I'm not sure if they are focused on integrating with iCloud, as it did take them a while to support Outlook. Totally understand not wanting to use multiple mail clients though. Definitely a tough scenario, wish there was a better option for you!

[@jaywolin]

How many split inboxes can superhuman have

[@efficientapp]

You can have as many as you'd like! That said, we wouldn't recommend overdoing it (I have) 😅 Andra is better about it. She has maybe 2-3 + "Important & Other", I'm at 10 + "Important & other" 🤭 Sometimes less is more, but yeah you can have as many as you'd like. If you're considering it, just a heads-up that the 60-day extended free trial expires in 2 weeks, so if you want to lock it in, sign up here: efficient.link/r/superhuman

Very helpful review! Does Superhuman handle Contacts as well, or does it strictly handle email? After using Outlook for so many years, I'm not even sure how to separate email and contacts. Thanks!

[@efficientapp]

Good to see you again! It just does email-you shouldn't need to do much with contacts though. That said, for a limited time you can actually get a free 2 month trial of Superhuman using this link efficient.link/r/superhuman (It's normally 1 month & the extended trial expires July 30th). Maybe give it a try and see if it's worthwhile? There's never been a better time to try it 🚀

[@judygranado5794]

Hello! Are there any ways to make Folder and Subfolders? Thanks!

[@efficientapp]

Yep, you got it! So they are referred to as Labels, so create a new label (CMD + K) then type "Create Label", from there type the label name. If you'd like to create a sub-label (subfolder) you'd simply add a / for the next level and that'll create the subfolder. e.g. Support/Unresolved would be a folder called "Unresolved" inside of the "Support" folder. Does that help?

[@thomaskoenig5199]

Absolute interesting tool, but for my own business unusable as we don't use Gmail or Outlook but a small German Mail provider because of the very low standards on data security with US located providers 😕

[@efficientapp]

Ah yeah, bummer-if you're not using one of the big providers your options dwindle quite heavily. Sorry my friend! Appreciate you checking out the video and leaving a comment nonetheless 🙏 hope you find something that can work for your unique situation!

[@Joris-KarlHuysmans]

This is always the same story with privacy-first providers such as Tutanota or Proton. I personally have the latter for my core email account (the important one) and would not go back to Gmail, but sometimes it really is frustrating. Due to zero-knowledge encryption, it’s either a bridge that manages encryption-decryption, or the available mail client that the provider has. In case of Proton it’s a decently good application, but the calendar app just sucks. Always remember that the more privacy and security measures you include into your workflow, the more inconvenient it gets. Sad but true. Wish there was a middle ground.

[@Powerstroke98]

Then, there are those of us 'retiree's' that have to watch our budgets, so 'free' is our only choice unfortunately. I find $30. to be overzealous, no matter how helpful it is, as retiree's do tend to have time to go through our barrage of e-mail, it's just that we don't like to do so. I tend to do the copy/paste where I can delete e-mails in bunches, as most are ad related, or something I wanted to look at online, but you had to give your e-mail to go any further on a particular site. So, then there is the 'unsubscribe' feature, of which I make good use of, which works for most, but not all. Thanks for your own great video, but this is one I'll have to pass on, when there are many other free alternatives, including Mac Mail app, at least in my case.

[@efficientapp]

Totally get it! Appreciate you watching the video and for appreciating the work we put into the video. Our channel is more focused on businesses and B2B software, where pricing concerns are often quite a bit lower due to the potential value gain had from software. There's other channels on YT that are more productivity and individual-focused that can probably address your concerns more. Appreciate you being here though and for leaving the thoughtful comment 🙏

Definitely understand where you’re coming from, it was hard for me to get my head around paying for it, but then after I used it, I thought there’s no way I can go back haha. Our link currently gets you 2 months free if you want to try it and see how you like it without having to pay anything for a while: efficient.link/r/superhuman (the free 2 months will expire in July and go back to 1 free month after that)!

[@glukoagkalitsas]

those eyes...OMG

[@efficientapp]

Yeah, but what about Superhuman? Did you see it? 👀

[@laughingvampire7555]

so you don't know how to use gmail. to solve the problem of slowness you can install it as an app in chrome. Also always sleep your computer, don't turn it off because that means that every time you will have to restart everything. Triage can be done with labels and filters in gmail. you can put yourself away in the chat to avoid the distractions. You can also snooze email.

[@efficientapp]

Hmm, did you watch the full video? Gmail is slow and clunky in general, curious if you've actually tried Superhuman because I get what you're addressing, but the experience of actually using Superhuman will make you see how Gmail is actually slow. And triaging via labels and filters is manual and painful. Genuinely, just try Superhuman, it's free for 30 days and you can see first hand and maybe you'll even have your mind changed: efficient.link/r/superhuman

[@gabrielbastin8282]

wait , what ? there is no free version and it is quite expensive :( so sad...

[@efficientapp]

It’s an email tool for professionals/businesses. It’s definitely worth it if you get many emails, you can give it a shot for a free 30 days to see if it makes you more productive: efficient.link/r/superhuman Trust me, I was in your boat and literally said I would never pay for the tool, yet here I am 4 years later and can’t live without it! It’s that good 😄 For personal use or if you’re not on email often, yeah, can understand that paying for the tool isn’t ideal!

[@Rshawokc]

Not sure that this is worth $30 per user a month and the pretty UI isn't enough of a selling point. This software doesn't seem to be for people who actually manage their email either. The review video was well put together at least.

[@efficientapp]

Thanks for the comment! 🙏 Curious, what makes you say that Superhuman doesn't seem to be for people who manage their email? We have used it for 4-5 years and it's helped us a ton, but what features you are looking for specifically? We might be able to recommend another tool 👌

[@arnolfinilmf]

Beautiful but no way I pay a subscription for an email

Wait, you use folk AND Copper? Tell me more 👀

[@lisaparis2800]

I love superhuman so much …. #gamechanger …but your other video just convinced me that folk was the crm ive been desperately needing…. But they cant be friends?…noooo….😢

[@efficientapp]

Hahaha believe us, we are in the same boat... We use Superhuman but also Copper. On the plus side, they are still friends! Well, in that emails sent from Superhuman (e.g. Gmail in the background) still sync over to Copper & folk no problem (and vice-versa). All you're missing is the Gmail sidebar functionality for Copper and folk within Gmail. As much as we love that for people, we have found that we enjoy Superhuman more than we like the sidebar functionality of folk and Copper. So it's okay! You can be like us and use both! If you're to even be considering folk or Copper as your ideal CRM, then going with a CRM that Superhuman integrates with (e.g. Salesforce or what's coming soon 👀 AKA another CRM we don't recommend), you're going to be making the wrong CRM decision for your business which is a worse decision to make. So yeah, use Superhuman and folk/Copper, we fully support it!
