- Emma Chory
- Excellent and finally allows all the features I need while still interacting with gmail.
- Zoltán Szabó
- Works like a charm! Exceptionally GREAT SUPPORT - even for as small language as Hungarian. It can totally replace Superhuman.
- Renez Van Autreve
- Amazing experience! I've been using Superhuman for a long time, so I was hesitant to make the switch. This extension made me realize I was paying a massive monthly subscription just for a clean interface and fast keyboard shortcuts. Simplehuman provides the same "Inbox Zero" experience and speed for a fraction of the cost.
- James Finley
- I love SimpleHuman. It does everything I liked about SuperHuman without the pretentious price. It also doesn't force me to use all of the latest/greatest AI tools that I never wanted or needed. Kind of the best of all worlds. As an added plus, the founder is a kind and thoughtful guy who actually responded to my emails. I know he won't be able to keep that up forever, but for now, it made my transition even more pleasant. Worth a test if you are on the fence.
- Andrew Sung
- Works really well and Phalgun is so responsive to questions and issues! Really happy with my purchase!
- David Slattery
- Great tool with fantastic support. When I enquired about making the extension work in other browsers (like Helium), they were quick to make the edits.
- Ozan Ozdemir
- amazing alternative for superhuman. definitely worth trying if you have a crowded inbox traffic
- Sam McIntire
- Wonderful extension that replicates a lot of the most critical functionality of Superhuman without the crazy price tag. Saves me a decent amount of time each week with inbox management. Plus, the dev is extremely responsive and receptive to feedback. This is what a Chrome extension should be!
- Niveditha
- great product
- Brad Beattie
- This has been a game changer for my email productivity. I made the decision that banging out emails had to be easier, and turned to Simple Human. I could never go back.
- Arushi Gandhi
- I wasn't too convinced to subscribe at first - but after the free trial - my inbox felt so CLUNKY and full of garbage - that I had to come back!
- Rich Graham
- Loving SimpleHuman - once you get a grip on the keyboard shortcuts, you can fly through your inbox pretty easily. Highly recommended, well worth the money.
- Pachev Joseph
- This extension has genuinely transformed my workflow. I was so impressed with how well it worked that I didn't hesitate to purchase the lifetime subscription. I also enjoy how responsive the support team is. They are helpful, and clearly care about their users' experience.
- Pranav Agarwal
- Not an enterprise user, I took Simplehuman for my personal inbox. I have a host of newsletters and get 100s of emails per day and I spend a lot of time and ensure to keep my inbox updated everyday. This works awesome and saves a lot of my time. Pricing is worth the time spent.
- Chinmay Naik
- Highly recommended.
- Matthew Brocchini
- A truly excellent plugin for gmail. I recently sold my company and can't really justify the cost of Superhuman anymore, and this plugin does almost everything (everything I care about anyway) at a fraction of the cost. Many of the hotkeys are baked into my fingers from a couple of years with Superhuman, and it's fantastic that they now work in native gmail with this plugin. Also the developer is very responsive, I've only been using the plugin for a few weeks and he has already released a feature that I asked for.
- Thierry Mathez
- Great tool, replaces 90% of what I've been using with Superhuman for the last 2 years, at 1/5 of the price. You just need some time to get adjusted (reminders and snoozing particularly) but it's still pretty much as efficient as SH.
- Andrey Soloviev
- A super plugin that makes working with Gmail much easier. It simplifies email management and speeds things up. No more switching between mouse and keyboard — everything is done straight from the keyboard.
- Sathwik Pochampally
- great product and even better support. phalgun (the dev) is quick to help out and make fixes.
- Blake Young
- Dev seems like I nice guy. Happy people like him are making the world a better place with their code. Still a bit pricey for what it does, but that's just me as a full time student running a non profit. I like how it's much cheaper than superhuman and lifetime subscription. Would love to see integration with outlook but I like the idea! Keep up the great work! Very pleased so far!
- Abhishek Yadav
- This tool has made my work life easier in so many ways! I’ve been using Simplehuman for a few weeks now and honestly, it’s the first Chrome extension that made Gmail feel fast again. If you’ve tried Superhuman but found it too expensive or bloated, this is a solid alternative. The UI is clean, everything loads instantly, and the shortcuts just work. It doesn’t try to reinvent email, it just makes it smoother and faster without getting in your way. As someone who spends hours in their inbox every day, this has been a huge productivity boost. Plus, since it’s built as a lightweight Chrome extension, you don’t need to install a full app or change your workflow. Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for a Superhuman alternative that’s actually simple, fast, and useful.
- Yesouicom
- A must-have at an affordable price, I can't do without it, it saves me a lot of time every day. Bonus: top-notch support with a very sympathetic founder
- Sean Murphy
- This is a lower-cost replacement for the Superhuman application, bringing in a lot of the same keyboard shortcuts directly into the Gmail web application. It isn't a 100% replacement for Superhuman, but it keeps getting closer and closer and has a super responsive founder! Given that Superhuman was bought by Grammarly, I expect a lot of people to turn to this app who just wanted a faster, keyboard shortcut focused email experience.
- Lyle F
- This is a great app, I use it along with GOAT summarizer and its amazing for my productivity
- Ashish Jha
- Started using Simplehuman recently after dreading clearing my inbox for almost 2 years. Simplehuman helped me nuke almost 7k emails that I didn't bother about in just a few minutes. Love it!
- Alexandre Taillandier
- Amazing tool, love it!
- Dane Witbeck
- I'm a subscriber and it's great! I was on the more expensive product that we all know, and I just couldn't justify that level of expense. This fits in gmail. Does the basics that I actually use really well... great work!
- stefan ketola
- 0 Stars. Reading the description makes it sound like there is a basic 100% free plan - there isn't this is 100% paid ONLY. Sharp practice, removing immediately.
- QarthO
- Edit: After communicating with the dev, they have updated the description. I have updated my rating, because I do believe its a good extension. However I will not modify the below review as a reminder for them to do better, and for others to be aware of what's happened. Old Review: Great extension, but misleading advertising. This a paid and premium extension that requires a subscription to use. You're not made aware of this until the free trial runs out. In the extension description they have: "It brings the Superhuman experience right inside Gmail, without costing you $30/month. " Yet SimpleHuman does have a price tag at $5/month. https://www.simplehuman.email/pricing I do believe their pricing is very reasonable, and if they were upfront about this, I would be happy to pay. But, I am unable to trust a company who operates like this. Unfortunately have to give a 1-star review.
- Leonardo Cozendey Crespo
- By far the best extension on my google chrome. A must have for gmail users!!! Remend to have it and to buy it to support the developer. About the developer, he is very supportive and answer all the contacts instantly. Can't recommend more. Great work!
- Jed McCabe Bickford
- Incredibly useful, especially for those migrating from Superhuman. Highly recommend.
- Andrew Kirpalani
- Simplehuman gets me everything that was valuable about Superhuman without the cost or opacity. Everything Simplehuman does is built on top of the native Gmail functionality so my inbox is usable even if something goes wrong or I'm stuck on mobile. I recently had a small but weird issue and Phalgun was quick to respond and work though it with me. He also was quite open to feedback and adjusting features to make them even more useful.
- Rene Sierra
- The app is no longer active and is experiencing compatibility issues with the latest version of Chrome. There has been no response from the developer, and app removed from the Chrome Web Store. :/
- Fabien David
- I switched from Superhuman to Simplehuman two years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Simplehuman helps me power through my Gmail inbox much faster and at a fraction of Superhuman’s cost. It’s efficient, straightforward, and keeps me organized without the heavy price tag. The only thing I wish it had is a mobile app—but even without it, the value is unbeatable.
- Jordan Labelle
- What an outstanding tool, does such a great job of tackling a problem that can waste SO much time if not dealt with. I love using it, the developer is so engaged and responsive, I can't imagine using gmail without it anymore.
- Sami El Solh
- This tool is elite - allows you to stay in gmail interface, not pay $30 a month, and just works. Thank you.
- Danny Nielsen-Lentz
- 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.
- Brent Maxwell
- This is aweeeeesome. It massively speeds up and simplifies usage of GMail. The original shortcuts are so unintuitive, and this levels up the whole experience massively. Great pricepoint too, and the developer is super active and amazing at feedback and improvements.
