Which one is for you
Pick MailMaestro if
- Fits if you answer lots of similar emails in Outlook or Gmail
- Works for teams that want shared templates and one bill, from two seats up
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 3 AI requests a week runs out by Tuesday
- Pricey if you want inbox agents, labels and follow-ups, which are Pro-only at $12 a seat
- Skip it if you want a full email client, as it only adds to Outlook and Gmail
- Watch out: annual plans can't be refunded after purchase, according to the pricing FAQ
- Watch out: the name is in flux, as Flowrite was folded into MailMaestro and its old team moved to a separate product
Pick Superhuman Mail if
- Fits if you get a high volume of email on Gmail or Outlook and want to work through it from the keyboard
- Works for teams that share and comment on threads instead of forwarding them
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you get twenty emails a day, as Gmail's own app costs nothing
- Tight if you want to try before you buy: there's no free plan and the pricing page mentions no trial
- Pricey if you mainly want AI drafts or CRM links, since Auto Drafts, Ask AI and HubSpot need Business at $33
- Not for you if your email isn't on Gmail or Outlook, as no other providers are listed
- Watch out: both plans stop at 25 seats, SSO and SCIM are Enterprise only, and Enterprise has no published price
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAMailMaestroFair | 2.2GPASuperhuman MailFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $12 a seat a month on annual billing ($15 monthly), which sits near the dear end of email tools: the middle is about $8 and the cheaper quarter starts at $3. | D$25 a member a month on yearly billing, $30 monthly, which is exactly where this category's dearest tenth begins, against an $8 middle. Unless email is most of your job that's hard to justify, and Auto Drafts and Ask AI need $33. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree forever with no card, but only 3 AI requests a week. That's a taste, not a plan you can work on. The Pro trial is 14 days. | FThere isn't one. No free plan, and the pricing page doesn't mention a trial, so you pay to find out. |
| Features | CWrites, replies, rewrites and summarizes, with templates and shortcuts. It lives inside Outlook and Gmail, and the listing shows no standalone client. | BSplit Inbox, a shortcut for everything, Snippets, no-reply reminders, snooze, send later, AI writing and summaries, shared threads and a calendar with booking links. Auto Drafts, Ask AI and the CRM hook-ups sit on Business, and both plans stop at 25 seats. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You add it to your mailbox and connect your account, then learn the templates and shortcuts. | B4.6 from about 3,700 App Store ratings, just under our bar for the top mark. One reviewer says the shortcuts took ten minutes to learn, but you do have to learn its way of doing things before it's any quicker. |
| Platforms and integrations | CA browser and Outlook add-in for one job, with Teams, Zoom and Google Meet listed. No phone or desktop app of its own. | AMac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension for the web, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoom, Meet and Teams wired in and an MCP server on Business. It's only for Gmail and Outlook accounts, mind. |
| Best for | AI replies inside Outlook and Gmail | people who live in their inbox |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
