Common Questions

Superhuman does not offer public discount codes or coupons. The only way to reduce the price is annual billing ($25/mo instead of $30/mo) or getting a referral link from an existing user for one free month. If the price is a concern, CMDK offers the same core features starting at $9/mo with a $169 lifetime option.

Superhuman's cheapest option is $25/mo on annual billing ($300/year). There is no student discount, no startup plan, and no way to negotiate. CMDK offers the same productivity features (command bar, shortcuts, read receipts, reminders) for $9/mo, $79/year, or $169 for lifetime access.

Nice app. I like Gmail UI, but the shortcode options of Superhuman. So your app is the best of both worlds!

Literally the best email extension you could get. Amazing alternative to Superhuman. Super clean and just works. Definitely worth the price and they are super responsive to feedback.

Solid extension that provides many of the key benefits of MUCH pricier tools. Even better that this lives in Gmail, so you can use other extensions as well.

Great - simple as it says, but adds a bunch of convenient time saving features. I don't need a full on client, I just need my Gmail to be fast, and this does it.
