Superhuman Pricing: What It Costs Per User

Superhuman Mail costs $25 per member per month on Starter and $33 per member per month on Business, both billed annually, with Enterprise quoted on request. Those are the prices the Superhuman pricing page showed on August 23, 2026. Annual billing is advertised as 17 percent off, which puts the month-to-month rates at roughly $30 and $40. There is no tier that costs nothing.

The number most people are looking for is the second one, because a lot of articles published this year state that the Starter plan was retired for new customers after Grammarly bought Superhuman. On the live pricing page today, Starter is still there, still $25, and still has its own sign-up button. That matters if you are a single user, because it is the difference between $300 and $396 a year.

How much does Superhuman cost?

Two details on that table are worth pulling out. The monthly figures are marked "about" on purpose: Superhuman publishes the annual price and advertises the annual toggle as 17 percent off, so $30 and $40 are what that discount implies rather than numbers printed on the page. Second, Business carries a badge offering a further 15 percent off for teams of five or more, so a larger team should not assume the sticker price is the price.

Verifying any of this is more annoying than it should be. The Superhuman pricing page renders entirely in JavaScript, so fetching the URL returns an empty shell and you have to load it in a real browser to see a single number. That is common enough across SaaS pricing pages that turning a rendered page into clean structured data has become its own tool category, and it is the reason so many of the roundups quoting Superhuman prices are quietly a year out of date.

Is Superhuman free?

No. Superhuman has never had a permanently free tier and does not have one now. Every plan on the pricing page is paid, starting at $25 per member per month on annual billing. Historically Superhuman ran an onboarding call and a trial period rather than a free plan, and the company has always positioned the product as a premium tool for people whose entire job runs through their inbox.

That is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight. Superhuman sells speed, and speed is hard to demonstrate in a feature-limited tier, so the company would rather charge everyone and keep the experience whole. If a plan that costs nothing is a requirement, this is the wrong product to be shopping for, and the honest answer is Thunderbird or Apple Mail.

What is the difference between Superhuman Starter and Business?

The split is AI depth, not mailbox count. Starter gets you the client itself: the keyboard-driven interface, Split Inbox, calendar and scheduling, team collaboration, and the baseline Superhuman AI. Business is where the newer AI features live, and it is a meaningful list: Auto Drafts, which writes replies in your voice before you open the message, Ask AI across your mail and calendar, custom auto labels, CRM integrations, and Superhuman Mail MCP for connecting the inbox to other AI tools.

So the question to ask yourself is whether you want a very fast email client or an AI assistant that works your inbox for you. If it is the former, Starter at $300 a year is the plan. If you are buying Superhuman specifically because you read about Auto Drafts, you are buying Business at $396 a year, and it is worth budgeting for that from the start rather than discovering it after you have committed.

Did Superhuman pricing change after Grammarly bought it?

Grammarly acquired Superhuman in July 2025 and later took the Superhuman name for the combined company, so the email client is now branded Superhuman Mail and sits alongside the Grammarly writing tools. The pricing structure that exists today, Starter, Business and Enterprise, reflects that reshuffle, and the product URL itself has moved under a mail path.

What did not happen is the thing most widely reported. Several 2026 articles state that email access is now locked to the Business plan and that new users cannot buy Starter. That is not what the pricing page shows. Starter is listed first, priced at $25, and has an active sign-up button, exactly as Business and Enterprise do. If you are budgeting from a blog post rather than from the vendor page, check the vendor page.

Does Superhuman have a student or education price?

No student or education tier appears on the pricing page. The three plans shown are Starter, Business and Enterprise, and none of them carries an academic discount, a nonprofit rate, or a reduced student price. The only published discounts are the annual billing reduction of 17 percent and the additional 15 percent for Business teams of five or more.

If you need a lower price as a student, the realistic route is annual billing on Starter, which is already the cheapest way into the product at $300 a year. Asking sales about an academic arrangement is free, but nothing on the public page suggests one exists.

What is Superhuman Enterprise pricing?

Enterprise is not priced publicly. The plan card says to contact sales, and what it adds over Business is the usual enterprise set: admin security and controls, single sign-on, a named customer success manager, team analytics, and priority support. In practice that means the price depends on seat count and on what the security review turns into, so there is no useful number to quote.

The rule of thumb for budgeting is to start from the Business rate and treat Enterprise as that plus a negotiation. With the teams-of-five discount already knocking 15 percent off Business, a mid-size team has a reasonable amount of leverage before Enterprise is even on the table.

What does Superhuman cost for a team over a year?

Those figures are arithmetic on the published per-member rates, not quotes. The point of laying them out is that per-seat pricing compounds in a way a monthly sticker price hides. Ten people on Business is close to four thousand dollars a year, and that is before anyone asks whether all ten of them actually needed the advanced AI tier.

The cost that is not on the pricing page

Price is the easy part of this decision. The constraint that catches people out is reach, and no plan removes it. Superhuman connects Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook and Microsoft 365, and nothing else. There is no generic IMAP support, so a mailbox on iCloud, Yahoo, AOL, Fastmail, Zoho or your own domain cannot be added on Starter, on Business, or on Enterprise.

The second one is subtler. Superhuman does not have a true unified inbox. Its own help documentation describes running several accounts as a tab-based arrangement rather than one merged board, so if the reason you are shopping is that you are tired of switching between addresses, paying $396 a year does not solve it. We wrote the full comparison on the Superhuman alternative page, including where Superhuman genuinely wins, which is speed on a single account.

This is the pattern across the AI email category rather than a Superhuman quirk. Fyxer AI is Gmail and Outlook only and says so in its own help center, and Shortwave is Gmail and Google Workspace only. If you are comparing several of them at once, the AI email assistant page has a table of which assistants can actually reach which mailboxes, which is the row most vendors leave out of their own comparisons.

How do I cancel a Superhuman subscription?

Cancellation is handled in the billing section of your Superhuman account, or by contacting Superhuman support if you are on a team or Enterprise plan where an administrator owns the billing. Annual plans are paid up front, so cancelling stops the next renewal rather than refunding the remainder of the term, which is the standard arrangement for annual SaaS and the main reason to think carefully before taking the 17 percent discount in month one.

If you are cancelling because the reach limit is what bit you, the alternative worth looking at is any client built on IMAP rather than on the Gmail and Microsoft APIs. An IMAP email client can hold accounts from every provider at once, and a browser-based one does it without an install on each machine.

The short version

Superhuman Mail is $25 per member per month on Starter and $33 on Business when billed annually, roughly $30 and $40 monthly, with Enterprise quoted on request and no tier that costs nothing. Starter has not been discontinued despite what several 2026 roundups claim. Business is where Auto Drafts and Ask AI live, so most people shopping for the AI features are really pricing Business. And whichever plan you pick, the mailboxes you can connect are Gmail and Microsoft only, which is a bigger constraint than the price for anyone whose mail is spread across providers.

Inboxes takes the opposite trade. It bills per account rather than per seat, $29 a month covers five mailboxes on the entry plan with larger tiers above it, it connects anything that speaks IMAP, and it runs in a browser on any operating system. It cannot connect a managed Microsoft 365 mailbox, it has no native desktop or mobile app, and it is not as fast to drive as Superhuman. Those are real trade-offs, and which way they fall depends entirely on whether your problem is speed on one inbox or order across many.
