Where Superhuman falls short, per the models
- GPT Its premium price is hard to justify unless email consumes a substantial part of the workday.
- Claude Lower the ~$25-30/mo price or add a real mid tier — the cost keeps most individuals and small teams on free built-in alternatives
- Gemini Extremely expensive subscription model and requires full migration to a new standalone email client.
- Grok Higher price (~$25-33/mo) makes it less ideal for typical users not dealing with extreme volume; overkill for lighter inboxes.
