    • Your team works from individual inboxes and wants shared conversations, comments and team snippets.
    • You want Ask AI to find answers across your inbox, calendar and the web.
    • You need enterprise controls such as single sign-on on its Enterprise plan.

    • Customers write to a shared address like support@ and several people answer from it.
    • You want Gmail or Outlook to stay exactly as it is, and pay per conversation instead of per member.

    • You want what it learned from your edits written down where you can read and fix it.

What does Superhuman do well?

Superhuman built its name on speed: a keyboard-driven email app for Gmail and Outlook on desktop, web and phone. Its Business plan adds Auto Drafts, which writes a reply for every message that needs one using your inbox, calendar and the web, in the tone you use with each person. Ask AI searches across your email and calendar, and a Knowledge Base takes files and links. For someone whose own inbox runs their day, it is a polished package.

How do Superhuman and ReplyPen prices compare?

Superhuman charges per member per month: its plans page lists Business, the plan with Auto Drafts, at $33 per member billed annually, and Starter at $25. ReplyPen charges €0.25 for each conversation in which you use its Draft, and nothing for the rest, with every feature included.

One Superhuman Business seat costs about the same as 132 ReplyPen conversations a month, before currency conversion. For a support@ address that three people answer from, a per-member price counts each of them; a per-conversation price counts the customer emails. See ReplyPen pricing.

Where does ReplyPen differ for customer email?

ReplyPen starts from your customer’s question and the answers you already published. It reads your help center, your website and the replies you sent before, and each Draft comes with a Check note listing the pages and past emails it used. It connects a shared address like support@ directly and leaves your email app alone, so a team keeps working in Gmail or Outlook, or in Superhuman, with the Drafts already in place.
