# Email vs Superhuman Mail

Email and Superhuman Mail both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 66% of Email's written reviews are positive against 41% of Superhuman Mail's. Email also leads on ratings volume (79K vs 3.7K) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Superhuman Mail's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly).

Both are free to download. Email sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Superhuman Mail sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
