ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Superhuman Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superhuman Mail has 3.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Compose's written reviews are positive against 41% of Superhuman Mail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
