Dodosend vs Superhuman

The keyboard-first Gmail workflow, without the $30 a month

Superhuman made email you drive from the keyboard famous. Dodosend brings that way of working to Gmail on Mac, Windows and Linux, free for one mailbox. Here’s how the two compare, including where Superhuman is still the better pick.

Free for one Gmail mailbox. Invites go out a few at a time, for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Which one is for you

Pick Dodosend if…

  • You’d rather not pay $300 a year for email

    Dodosend’s Free plan covers one Gmail mailbox with every feature: the palette, reminders, scheduled send, the calendar. You only pay to connect more mailboxes.

  • You’re on Linux

    Dodosend has a Linux desktop build, as an AppImage, a .deb and an .rpm, next to macOS and Windows. Superhuman’s desktop apps are for Mac and Windows.

  • You want the keys, not the AI

    AI in Dodosend is one short suggestion while you write, and Tab is the only way it gets into your draft. Everything else is keys and commands.

  • You don’t want to relearn Gmail

    Dodosend keeps Gmail’s keys where it can (C, /, E, R, F, S, Shift+I) and Gmail’s search operators, so what your fingers know carries over.

Pick Superhuman if…

  • You use Outlook

    Superhuman works with Outlook and Microsoft 365 as well as Gmail. Dodosend is Gmail and Google Workspace only, for now.

  • You triage on your phone

    Superhuman has iPhone, Android and web apps. Dodosend is a desktop app; on your phone you’d still use Gmail.

  • You want AI to do the writing

    Superhuman’s AI writes, summarizes and drafts replies for you. If that’s the point, it goes much further than Dodosend does.

  • You need it today

    Dodosend is in private beta, and invites go out a few at a time. Superhuman is open to everyone.

Switching from Superhuman

There’s nothing to export. Both apps work on your Gmail account itself, so your threads, labels and drafts are there the moment you sign in to Dodosend with Google. The core keys are the ones you know: E archives, R replies, C composes, / searches, H sets a reminder and ⌘K (Ctrl+K) opens the palette. Moving between threads is on the arrow keys.

Questions

Is Dodosend free?

Yes, for one Gmail mailbox, with every feature: the command palette, reminders, scheduled send, the calendar. The Multi-mailbox plan, billed monthly or yearly, is only for connecting more mailboxes.

Does Dodosend work with Outlook?

Not yet. Dodosend supports Gmail and Google Workspace accounts, connected through Google sign-in. More providers are on the roadmap.

Is there Superhuman for Linux?

Can I use Dodosend and Superhuman side by side?

Yes. Both work on top of your Gmail account, so what you archive or send in one shows up in the other.
