Pros & Cons
Pros
- Genuinely the fastest inbox experience available — sub-50ms interactions feel instant
- Keyboard-first design lets power users process hundreds of emails in minutes
- AI Triage and AI Write meaningfully reduce time spent on routine reply writing
- Beautifully designed iOS and Android apps with one-handed gestures
- Split Inbox keeps VIPs, calendar items, and newsletters out of your main flow
Cons
- Expensive — $25-$33/user/month is 5-10x typical email tool pricing
- Only supports Gmail and Outlook (no IMAP, no Apple Mail, no Fastmail)
- Steep learning curve — the keyboard-shortcut workflow takes weeks to internalize
- No way to keep messages 'snoozed' organized — limited folder/label automation compared to traditional clients
