What is the best Superhuman alternative?
If you want another fast client, Shortwave. If you want to keep Gmail and have AI sort and draft, Fyxer. If you want to keep Gmail and have follow-ups, scheduling and a brief handled with your approval, Momo AI, free in early access. If you already pay for Workspace or Google AI Pro, try Gemini in Gmail first.
We make Momo AI, so read our placement of it with that in mind. Prices are from each vendor's own pricing page on 11 October 2026 and change often.

If the problem is price: Gmail's own features first
Before paying anyone, turn on keyboard shortcuts (Settings, General), nudges (Settings, General, Nudges), multiple inboxes (Settings, Inbox) and schedule send. That covers a surprising share of what people pay Superhuman for. How to write emails faster walks through it.
If the problem is the switch: stay in Gmail with an assistant
Superhuman asks you to live in its client. Fyxer and Momo AI leave Gmail alone and work on top of it. Fyxer sorts and drafts, and supports Outlook. Momo AI sorts and drafts, then tracks follow-ups, books meetings over email, tracks promises and briefs you each morning, with a tap before every send. The Superhuman alternative page has the full comparison.
If the problem is that you still do all the work: Momo AI
Superhuman makes you a faster typist. It does not notice that six people never replied or that a meeting has been stuck for a week. That is the gap Momo AI is built for: an AI chief of staff that prepares the work and hands you the decision. Momo AI vs Superhuman is the short version.
If you want another client: Shortwave
Shortwave is the closest like-for-like, with AI search and summaries and a free plan. Gmail only. See the Shortwave alternative page for the differences from Momo AI.
