Comparison
Protime vs Superhuman
Two AI tools for your inbox. Two different bets. An honest comparison from the team building Protime.
Choose Protime if
- You live in Outlook (or both Outlook and Gmail).
- You want a daily news briefing bundled, not just inbox triage.
- You need Swiss data residency + Schweizer Recht jurisdiction.
- Your team is 5+ users and pooled pricing matters.
- You want calendar, tasks, and chat in the same product as the inbox AI.
Choose Superhuman if
- You live in Gmail exclusively and Outlook is irrelevant.
- You value keyboard speed above all — Superhuman is the gold standard.
- You don't need news briefing, calendar prep, or task sync.
- You're fine with US data residency and US contract law.
- You're a solo power user who does 200+ emails/day.
