Gemini in Gmail is Google's assistant inside the email you have open: summarise, draft, polish, suggest times. It comes with Workspace Business Starter (₹270 per user per month) or Google AI Pro (₹1,950 per month). Momo AI runs in the background on your whole inbox and calendar and asks before anything is sent. They answer different questions.

## Pick Gemini in Gmail if

You already pay for an eligible Google plan and what you want is help with the email in front of you: a summary of a long thread, a first draft from a prompt, a tone fix. It is built in, needs no extra permission, and is good at those jobs.

## Pick Momo AI if

You want the inbox worked while you are busy, then handed to you for a decision.

- Threads waiting on a reply, flagged after your window with the nudge drafted.
- Meetings booked over email: free slots offered, the pick booked with a Meet link.
- Promises both ways, closed when delivered.
- A morning brief with drafts already written.
- A tap before every send, with recipients chosen by code.
- Free now, ₹499 per month planned.

## Can you use both?

Yes. Momo AI writes normal Gmail drafts, which you can still edit with Gemini. Detail and sources are on the [Gemini in Gmail alternative page](/alternatives/gemini-in-gmail) and in [what Gemini in Gmail can and can't do](/blog/gemini-in-gmail-what-it-can-do).
