Comparison
Both draft for you. The difference is what they know about you.
Superhuman is a keyboard-first email client with an AI layer that runs on its own — labelling, archiving, summarizing and drafting a reply to every email. Beemy runs a comparable loop, then goes somewhere Superhuman's own pages don't: voice modelled per relationship, an autonomy dial you promote category by category, and your personal life held in a separate silo from your work.
Superhuman A keyboard-first email client whose AI layer runs unprompted — labelling, archiving and summarizing mail, and drafting a reply to every email in the voice of what you've already sent.
Beemy One assistant across your whole life — inbox and calendar today, Slack next — not a faster client for one of them.
At a glance
Eight ways the job gets done differently.
| Dimension | Superhuman | Beemy |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | “Built for teams that use Gmail or Outlook.” | Gmail and Google Calendar live in beta today; Outlook is next as it clears its own safety gate. See what's next → |
| What it is | A keyboard-first email client with an AI layer that runs unprompted — Auto Labels, Auto Archive, Auto Summarize, Instant Reply and Auto Follow-up — plus Ask AI on request. | An assistant that runs the same kind of loop across your inbox, calendar and Slack as it rolls out, plus one tuned digest for the newsletters and feeds you follow. |
| Drafting | Instant Reply aims for “an inbox where every email has a draft reply,” and its AI “matches the voice and tone in the emails you've already sent, applying that to everything it creates.” | Models your voice per relationship — how you write to a client versus your co-founder — so each draft is tuned to the recipient rather than to one sent-mail voice. |
| Triage | Auto Labels “automatically separate marketing, cold pitches, and social network updates,” Auto Archive clears them, and Auto Summarize puts “a 1-line summary above every conversation.” | Weighs every message by relationship and urgency — a live map of who matters to you, not a category split — and gets sharper from every correction you make. How triage actually works → |
| Follow-ups | Auto Follow-up reminds you when a thread goes quiet: “We'll even write the email for you, so all you need to do is hit send.” | Drafts the nudge in your per-relationship voice, and holds it in the same approval flow as everything else it does. |
| Control | Drafts are prepared for you to “simply edit, then send” — you're the send gate on each one. | An explicit autonomy ladder: read-only first, then approve-before-send, then a dial you promote per category — with anything ambiguous escalated to you with a reason. How the approval ladder works → |
| Work and personal | Built around the work inbox, alongside the rest of the Superhuman suite (Docs, Grammarly, Go) and CRM integrations. | Personal and work held in strictly separate architectural silos, so a work draft is assembled from work context alone. How the silos hold → |
| Price | Superhuman Mail is included from the Business plan at $33/member/month billed annually, with Enterprise custom; the Free and Pro ($12/member/month) tiers cover Grammarly, Docs and Go (their plans page, checked 1 Aug 2026). | $29–49/month, free to start. See plans → |
The real difference
Both write your drafts. Only one of them writes differently to your sister.
Superhuman is explicit about how its drafting works: the AI “matches the voice and tone in the emails you've already sent, applying that to everything it creates.” One learned voice, applied across the board — and for a work inbox, that's often exactly right. Beemy models voice per relationship instead, because the register you use with a client isn't the one you use with your co-founder, and neither is the one you use with family. That per-relationship map is also what drives triage: not a category split, but a running model of who actually matters to you.
See everything it handles →Control
A draft to edit, or a dial you promote.
Superhuman's model is clean and predictable: it prepares the draft, you “simply edit, then send.” You stay the gate on every message, every time. Beemy's autonomy ladder is built to move: read-only at first, then approve-before-send, then — once a category has earned it — a dial you promote yourself so routine decisions stop coming back to you at all. Anything ambiguous or high-stakes is escalated with a plain-language reason instead of guessed at. More oversight than a script, less repetition than approving every send forever.
How the autonomy ladder works →Work and personal
Every named tool in this category is a work-inbox tool.
Superhuman's breadth runs sideways into the rest of its suite — Docs, Grammarly, Go — and into CRM integrations for sales-heavy teams, which is genuine reach Beemy doesn't have today. Beemy's breadth runs the other direction: the same triage, voice modelling and autonomy ladder across your calendar and, as it rolls out, Slack, with your personal life held in an architecturally separate silo from your work rather than as a second account in the same fast inbox.

Looking for a Superhuman alternative?
Superhuman isn't the only way to get faster at email — here's the honest field, including tools that aren't Beemy.
- ShortwaveYou're Gmail-only and want an AI agent for scheduling and search built the same way.
- Fyxer AIYou want an assistant layer that drafts and triages for you, on Gmail or Outlook.
- Gemini in GmailYou want AI help writing and summarizing without paying for a separate client.
- BeemyYou want the triage and drafting done for you across email, calendar and (soon) Slack — not just faster tools to do it yourself.
A fair word
When Superhuman is the better tool.
Superhuman is a mature, generally-available product, and its AI layer does more unprompted than most of this category — Auto Labels, Auto Archive, Auto Summarize, a draft waiting on every email, and a follow-up it will write for you. If keyboard speed is your metric, or you want Gmail and Outlook both supported by a shipped product now rather than a private beta expanding provider by provider, Superhuman is the safer pick — and its CRM integrations go further than Beemy's. Beemy's case rests on narrower things: voice modelled per relationship, an autonomy dial that moves, calendar on the same loop with Slack next, and a real wall between your work and personal life.
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Does Superhuman work with Outlook?
Yes — Superhuman states it is “built for teams that use Gmail or Outlook” (superhuman.com/mail, checked 1 Aug 2026). Beemy's Gmail and Google Calendar are live in beta today; Outlook is next as it clears its own safety gate — see the roadmap.
How much does Superhuman cost?
Superhuman Mail — the email product compared here — is included from the Business plan at $33/member/month billed annually, with custom Enterprise pricing. The Free and Pro ($12/member/month billed annually) tiers cover Grammarly, Docs and Go rather than Mail (superhuman.com/plans, checked 1 Aug 2026).
Is Superhuman worth it?
If you want a fast, shipped client whose AI already labels, archives, summarizes and drafts replies on its own across Gmail or Outlook, Superhuman delivers that today. Beemy is worth comparing if what you want is voice modelled per relationship, an autonomy dial you promote over time, and your personal life kept in a separate silo from your work.
Can I use Superhuman and Beemy together?
There's no technical conflict, but they overlap heavily — both draft replies and sort your inbox for you. Most people pick one. The question worth asking is whether you want one learned voice across a fast work inbox, or a per-relationship voice and an autonomy dial spanning work and personal life in separate silos.
