Agentys vs Superhuman (2026)

Agentys vs Superhuman (2026): honest comparison of the AI email layer vs a fast, keyboard-first email client. Grammarly acquisition, pricing, read receipts, voice learning, and who should choose which.
Superhuman has had a remarkable run — it turned keyboard-fast email into a status symbol and sold to Grammarly for $825 million. It's a beautiful, genuinely fast client, and its $40/month plan now bundles AI drafting too. Agentys does that same job — drafting your replies in your own voice, sorting your inbox — for $23.99/month.
Agentys sounds like you
The hard part of AI email is sounding like you — not a polished stranger. Agentys learns from your last 90 days of sent mail: how you greet your CEO versus a new vendor, your sign-offs, your sentence length. Every draft comes back in that voice.
You stay in control. Drafts wait in your folder — approve, tweak, or rewrite, then send. Nothing leaves without you. By the time you open your laptop, the inbox is sorted and the replies are written, so the work shrinks from composing to clicking.
The Grammarly acquisition
Superhuman first made its name on sheer speed of execution — a keyboard shortcut for every action, built for power users who blaze through the inbox. In October 2025, Grammarly acquired Superhuman for about $825 million; founder Rahul Vohra stayed on as CEO (Wikipedia). A decade of Grammarly's writing-AI research now sits behind the product, which could sharpen Superhuman's drafts.
The open question is direction: does Superhuman keep optimizing for keyboard power users, or drift toward Grammarly's broader 30-million-user base? Worth watching as pricing evolves. For Agentys it changes little — Agentys competes with the *time* email costs you, not with a writing assistant.
What each tool costs
Superhuman. Its voice-matched AI drafting — Auto Drafts — sits on the $40/month Business plan ($33 billed annually). The $30 Starter plan includes the full client and most AI features, but not Auto Drafts or Ask AI. There's no free email tier since the Grammarly deal.
Agentys. Starter is $23.99/month ($16.99 billed annually); Professional is $29.99/month ($24.99 annual). A 7-day free trial, and drafting in your voice, voice learning, and smart sorting are all included from the entry plan.
