Why I Landed on Shortwave for Email and Stuck with It
Over the past six months, I’ve been on a costly quest for a better email solution that started with Superhuman and continued with Shortwave. Both are powerful email services designed to help users process a lot of email quickly, and there’s enough overlap between the two that I thought it would be useful to highlight why I ultimately decided on Shortwave over Superhuman.
One inescapable downside of both services is their cost. Superhuman’s Business plan comes in at $396/year if you pay upfront; otherwise, it’s $40/month. Shortwave costs even more at $432 for a full year upfront or $45/month for its Premier tier. Both services have lower tiers with fewer features, including a free tier for Shortwave, but it’s the most advanced AI features of both services’ top tiers that I’ve found to be more valuable than other email apps and services.
