People look for a Superhuman alternative for three different reasons: the price ($25 to $40 per user per month), the switch to a new client, or because they wanted the work done rather than done faster. Each reason points to a different tool. Prices read on 11 October 2026.

## 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.

## The alternatives, compared

## 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](/blog/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](/alternatives/superhuman) 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](/ai-chief-of-staff) that prepares the work and hands you the decision. [Momo AI vs Superhuman](/compare/momo-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](/alternatives/shortwave) for the differences from Momo AI.

## Questions

### What is cheaper than Superhuman?

Everything on this list. Momo AI is free in early access, Shortwave and Fyxer have free tiers, Inbox Zero starts at $18 per month annual.

### Is there a Superhuman alternative that works inside Gmail?

Yes. Fyxer and Momo AI work on top of your existing Gmail. Nothing to migrate.

### Is Superhuman worth it?

If you spend hours a day in email and value speed inside it, many people say yes. If your problem is follow-through rather than speed, an assistant fits better.

### Does Momo AI replace Superhuman?

Not as a client. It replaces the work around email. Some people use both; Momo AI's drafts show up in Superhuman as Gmail drafts.
