Set up your survey
Get started by collecting data from your users.
The product/market fit engine is powered by user feedback with a lightweight survey. Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up your own version.
A. Create your survey
In our survey, we used 6 key questions. You might want to add more questions if you want to dig deeper on certain topics. We ran our survey with because it has great keyboard shortcuts, but you can use any good survey tool like .
We sent the survey only to users who had been using Superhuman for at least a few weeks, and who had sent a minimum number of emails. At the time, we had just 100-200 users to poll, but the survey also works at smaller scale. You start to get directionally correct results around 40 respondents — much fewer than most people think!

Very disappointed
I'm at least 2x if not faster at processing email with superhuman. And the experience is far more pleasurable than any other email client I've used up to this point.
Back to Gmail web client. :-(
Speed.
People who naturally gravitate towards hot-keys (keyboard shortcuts)
gripes: printing is sub-par; attachments such as word .docs can't be "previewed" without downloading first; some emails that are wider than the viewport force a horizontal scrollbar, without the ability to "widen" then screen — bummer. I switch between 4 email addresses throughout the day, and I do miss being able to customize the background for each account to quickly see which account i'm in.

A company leader with a lot of inbound email. Superhuman makes it really easy to manage large volumes or email fast. Not sure if I'd recommend it to someone in an external-facing role like Sales or Support b/c there are more specialized email/automation tools for that.
If there was some way to make it closer to Calendar, because a lot of my email workflow is around scheduling meetings

It's simplified the way I interact with email. Going back to Gmail would be HARD!
Given there'd be no comparable alternatives I'd likely revert back to Gmail
Speed, shortcuts, reminders which all give clarity to my work.
A busy one! I can only speak from personal experience but I'm a designer by trade yet run a design studio. Having Superhuman frees me up from the laborious act of email so i can spend more time at what I'm good at without the fear of not dealing with clients via email in a timely/efficient manner. In short I'd say Superhuman is for multi-tackers.
I'd love to see a mobile and PC version as I'm constantly hopping from multiple devices.

i finally feel able to keep up with email -- and I haven't felt this way in maybe 2 years? It's because I have a tool that's fast enough and intuitive enough for my workflow!
fuck. I don't even want to answer this or think about it - but maybe vanilla gmail / inbox?
Speed + action oriented design. It helps reinforce no distractions and a gtd oriented email approach.
Someone needs to be good at email (and on top of it on a daily basis) to achieve their goals (work/club/school).

I've been able to completely rework the way I do email around Superhuman's features
I would be pretty disappointed. I've spent a lot of time learning how it works and adjusting my workflow to it
Speed and simplicity
Super-users and hyper productive people. Personally I feel that at scale the product may face significant user challenges because it could be quite difficult to onboard people in the fashion that you currently do.
A mobile app!! I'm still stuck on Newton for mobile and it's really really sad :( Mostly because I've become so accustomed to Superhuman, but also because read receipts don't carry over between the two (obviously, since they're different products) and so it becomes a chore to send an email because I have to remember which platform to check the read receipts on

A couple things that have been awesome: I've unsubscribed from more email lists than I ever have using any other tool. The ease of Cmd+K->Unsubscribe is great and I try it on almost every email. The visual interface makes me not hate staring at my inbox, it's pretty low cognitive load. I've begun changing my behavior to really take advantage of snoozing/reminders as opposed to just leaving things starred, feel like that helps me be more decisive in my workflow.

The speed at which I'm able to get things done, esp. due to keyboard shortcuts.
1. Someone willing to pay for a better email experience 2. Someone who sends & receives a boatload of email
\- It was not obvious how to create bullets, but I tried an asterisk (like markdown) and it worked. That was definitely, "they made me think" moment. - I don't know how (or if I can) edit an email address or name that I paste into the send line.

SuperHuman's allowed me to be more efficient with my time, which would be a difficult thing to lose!
I would go back to native Gmail client as I'm confident the other contenders (mainly Airmail) have not improved since my last experience.
I can work through incoming email more quickly, sorting messages accordingly and streamlining my work process.
I've thought about this quite a bit over the past few weeks. I believe Superhuman is most useful to people that (a) have a lot of incoming email, (b) are highly proficient with keyboard shortcuts and (c) are motivated to improve personal productivity. Entrepreneurs are an obvious fit for the product. I could also see others that rely on speed (financiers, etc) taking early interest. I can see that trickling down to other members of their teams. I do have a bit of trouble identifying the natural progression from there...
The feedback loop has been great. I really appreciate the acknowledgement of new feedback and implementation of suggestions.

A few things: - Because I don't have my email constantly opened in a browser window, I'm better at avoiding being distracted by emails and tend to group my email sessions - It does feel as if I'm going faster through my emails - I shared that before but I also feel less rushed going through my emails - I now take the time to reply more thoughtful answers, longer emails
I guess I would have to sadly go back to Gmail

Superhuman is very high-potential, but has not yet provided significant advantages or speed increases relative to my current gmail interface. Some of the feature implementations are a bit clunky (ex: Boomerang being an auto-generated email instead of a tag addition), some functionality requires using core Gmail (ex: filter creation), and some features are just missing (ex: send + archive, archive + return to inbox instead of advance). Also, any scheduling functionality requires a return to GCal, and since that's a bout 30% of my overall emails it makes navigation a bit difficult. Finally, the fact that I can't use both my work + personal email means that I'm using the Gmail interface anyway and can't fully migrate.
Standard Gmail + Gmail Offline. Or maybe Mailplane.
Speed, Offline
Unfortuantely, I think SH is best suited for non-power users of work email or perhaps personal email. Gmail (on web) has more power user features out of the box and is more customizable, and SH does not yet have any 'killer' features that give it an advantage (unless I missed some!).
I tend to send in feature requests as they come to me! One note based on my responses above. I've seen a lot of bugs in the attachment preview pane. I've stopped using the preview feature, and just download the docs + open natively now. Also, frankly, the price is way too high relative to the current quality of the product.

I very much like using Superhuman, but I could get by with other alternatives (e.g., Google Inbox) if it weren't there. It might be because there is no integrated desktop–mobile experience yet, so I am still stuck half-way between a great desktop experience and an average (apple mail) mobile experience.
Google Inbox
Overall, it is faster to process emails on desktop using Superhuman. This is mainly, for me, because of the shortcuts and also the important / other split (vs. Inbox, which is clunkier to use with the many different categories of emails)

I like the snooze UX. Very cool and fast when using Superhuman Control. Also it's fast when switching threads via shortcuts J & K. However the load time is visibly slow when switching from Important to Other (or vice versa), when performing keyword searches, and when opening a new email that hasn't already been cached. Also the Reminders vs Snoozing UX is confusing.

So you can look at this for the perspective of what are the benefits over the previous platform that i use vs the pitfalls. Benefits of Superhuman: - The only real value add I feel is offline mode. The speed component is there but because everything is so minimalist and keyboard shortcut key selection its often negated. Pitfalls of Superhuman: - I hate when email programs mark stuff as read when you didn’t select to open it. Also the trick to just type u after and have that take you back to the inbox with the selected email go back to unread is not a solution because if it was already read from before it would then get marked as unread. I'm slowly getting over this one. - Using arrows instead of n and p. Huge disruption to speed. You can’t do that and stay in the keyboard position. I fine with it not being n and p but pick something our fingers can reach if you’re going to change shorts from accessible ones to making the feature worse. :) - When you send an email in a thread, after you send it the cursor is on the first email instead of the second. You then have to move it down to forward or take action on the most recent email. this wouldnt be as bad as it is but you messed up on the arrows / n p so now i have to move my had to go down. There is another issue here too but would take me too long to explain. - You have to type two letters to up a level instead of one. I think its ridiculous that you’ve changed the functionality of u. Also makes it worse that it performs a seemingly similar task but actually does something totally different. I'm training myself to get over this but I just dont feel is something worth retraining over! - Another pitfall is when composing emails you cant see your inbox in the BG. Which is often so key! This is another example of you removing a feature for the sake of being minimal, right? I have to keep gmail open in another tab to still work fast enough so that this Is not an issue. - Another pitfall: Its pretty annoying that I can only see dates and not times. Have to open and hover for a time #thatsucks #stopremovingfeaturesforthesakeoflookingpretty - There are other pitfalls, like lacking boomerang features, but i know that's coming. Still relevant to this point though as its a pitfall and you lose it right now when you switch. Overall there is so much that i'm missing from gmail that doesnt seem like its a pending feature that you're going to add. I'm fine with not having everything from gmail here, but then if you want to take away stuff the additional benefits should be there to compensate. Thats what i'm missing.

It's really great for my morning inbox cleanup. It's really fast and easy. For the rest of the day it's easier to use Gmail because of gchat, calendar, number of pending emails on different buckets.

I'm enjoying using Superhuman *A LOT*, but it hasn't permeated my daily habits yet. I suppose it takes a long time to do that, since I've been using the same email tool for the last 15 years (!!). But anyway, as much as I enjoy it, my fallback is tolerable.
Back to Apple Mail.
Zen. Superhuman hides all the other distractions, and remind me that the trick to tackling email is one-at-a-time.
ADD folks. And people who are trying to be more productive.
Still just one thing: I treat my inbox as a task list. Sometimes I leave a single email in a thread because there is something I need to act on it. But the thread continues. Since Superhuman collapses threads into a single object, it isn't possible for me (or I can't figure out how) to identify which emails in a thread are still in my inbox, and which are fluff. Worse: since you put the latest email in a thread in my view, I've accidentally marked a thread as done, when there was an outstanding task in the thread that I forgot I left in my inbox.

There are certain cases that are not covered for me, and I have a feeling that I am missing something. In terms of my inbox, I feel confident and Superhuman provides really amazing experience. But I have some stuff to track that doesn't go to my inbox and I have to check some other buckets to not lose anything. Having the number of emails in each bucket would be really helpful.
Gmail
It's really fast and easy to use
Executives and also advanced computer users that like interacting with the computer as fast as possible.
Would be great to have a mobile version. Also, handling the problem of monitoring other than inbox bucket would be awesome. The simplest solution would be having the number of unread emails next to each bucket.

Speed of work
Anyone whose professional (or personal) life involves a lot of email
Better 'traceability' of what I've done. It would be useful to be able to see a high-level history of what I've done so that if I do something by accident (e.g. hitting a keyboard shortcut I didn't know) and I miss it at the time (so can't just hit Z) I can go back and trace my steps. Also, sometimes it doesn't register people with my domain as 'Team' so the Team inbox doesn't always work.
Investment Manager

The keyboard shortcuts for everything make me so much more efficient. Some of the best touches: booking meetings and cal auto shows up and can change days (so clutch), tab to accept meetings, staying within message previews when archive (rather than go back to main inbox), snippets (though haven’t used a ton yet, it brings me so much joy when I can), the Cmd shift I to move to bcc (so clutch)
Gmail, and I would try to find extensions to try to get me close to what superhuman offers. And undoubtedly would be very disappointed.
Can action emails far quicker. Massive throughput increase.
Person who is highly needed by others (Product, BD, Sales). Many responses are consistent, and also booking meetings is frequent. Superhuman excels on both.
Does this sync with Salesforce? I actually have completely ignored that and my org would be pretty frustrated if it didn’t... Otherwise, offering attachment previews (like GMail does) would be a big benefit. A colleague who was considering using superhuman called that a huge miss.

I wish I could swipe left or right on the iOS app to move emails into folders. Also, it would be nice if emails would auto-label based on how I've moved/labeled previous emails. I realized I mostly move emails into folders, but I could switch to labels+marking as complete if the auto-labels were correct all the time. Because the web/Mac version is so great with all the shortcuts, the iOS app seems much slower as I go through email, although I imagine it's hard to get the iOS app on the same level as the desktop version in terms of productivity.

Having SOMETHING to do with an email, regardless of the situation. Whether it's remind, reply, etc., I rarely feel like I need to leave an email in the inbox.
Someone who knows and cares about tech or is passionate about productivity or the busy professional who cares about design. I don't think someone who's just busy will care, it has to be a progressive individual who wants to find better ways to work.
Anything at this point is truly a random wish list. Calendar integration would be fantastic. Macros would be excellent and helpful. Other clever, insightful ways of helping people answer email better that distinguish you in the market.

Superhuman has some features that I really like - it’s fast, search is better than with the Gmail app, and I like the keyboard shortcuts. That said, it’s not $30/month better (even in an ideal state) and it also doesn’t integrate well with my existing Sanebox flow. I find myself stuck between either going full bore with Superhuman and leaving a lot of the work that I’ve done with Sanebox behind or going back to Gmail and losing a lot of the features I like with Superhuman.
Gmail + Sanebox
Speed, better searching, keyboard shortcuts
A person who loves tech and technology, but is still using a lot of the “basic” Gmail functionality either for work or personal e-mail.
My Sanebox filtering is “better” for me than the Superhuman filtering and there is really no way for me to access it and use it without junking all of it. If you make Superhuman more Sanebox compatible, then I would use it.

Someone who gets +200 emails a day and almost uses their inbox as an organizer. I'm going to recommend a few friends.
Being able to book meeting directly from suggesting it in an email would be out of this world. I might pay $30 just for that feature. I was told this might be in the works? Lastly, I understand the colour choices for the platform from a high level but they definitely don't meet accessibility contrast minimums. The carbon look and feel is much better than the default but I'm sure that Teresa can help you with that. ;)

Folders and labels stack are just one level but I use multiple levels. I use My Mac menu on the left side so it conflicts with superhuman. Get all inboxes together...

Overall, superhuman has made my life much easier & I no longer dread having to go through my email.
Back to good old Gmail... :(
A simple to use interface & an organized inbox. The organized inbox makes my life much easier.
I see this as best for people in a work or business setting. I do not use it much for personal emails.
Key commands are difficult to remember when getting started. It would be helpful to see keycommands for every hover / mouse action. Also, PDFs when oped do not show the standard Red / yellow mac buttons it just says "button"

It makes life easier, but it's not an essential thing to do my job. I can find other tools for cheaper to supplement things, and also not having the Asana integration that is baked into email really hurts.

it's really fast, and I never was using keyboard shortcuts before. I love being able to do everything on desktop that I can on mobile.

It's definitely helping me get through email faster so I'd miss that. There are some features still missing that I miss in Gmail.

Something about using keyboard shortcuts for all of this seems to not only make things functionally quicker but triggers me to make faster and clearer decisions about what to do with each email. Other than archive, I wasn't using many keyboard shortcuts in Gmail before.

Superhuman is the best desktop experience I've ever had. I would definitely miss it. The mobile app is good, but doesn't stand apart from other mobile apps I've used as much as the desktop app does so I wouldn't have as much trouble replacing it

The Keyboard shortcuts are absolutely amazing

I only just started using Superhuman (Thanks, Peter!) and really like it; however there are a couple of features I need for my job that are not available. I feel much more zen in Superhuman than Gmail and would definitely prefer to keep using it .
Gmail
Peace of mind and productive email flow. Love not seeing the number of unread emails and scary bolded messages in my inbox, and also love the separation of Important and Other. I'm getting through everything much more quickly than before.
Anyone with a desk job!
I'm having performance issues making the speed very slow. In addition the main feature I need for my job in marketing is the ability to send messages from aliases and change my signature. Currently I can't send from google groups that I'm a part of or aliases that I've been given access to, and I can't see my signature to check and make sure it's the right one and/or edit it. In addition I wish Drafts went into a draft folder. I often need to keep an email open for most of the day to check in on tasks, but I dislike that when I'm going through my Important folder and I get to that draft, I have to hit Escape and then manually go around it to the next message.

It's great but the status quo wasn't terrible
Spark
Faster and more intuitive UI, better keyboard shortcuts, Split Inbox to organize by topic
busy professional
Switching between accounts is a bit too much like entering a different universe.. I would rather think of each account more like a different set of Splits than a whole separate place to go to. And the Ctrl+# shortcuts are a bit awkward finger position. I'd also like to be able to Tab between links in the message (e.g. to "click" on the 'tell us about your experience' link in the email that got me here) If I could easily switch an email from one account to another would be useful -- ie. change the "From" address on an email. Often I'll hit Compose and _then_ realize I want this message to come from another account, so I have to back out, go somewhere else, and do it again, which sucks. Super minor annoyance: I keep seeing my own LinkedIn profile and it's not the one I want to show.. I have multiple current positions and the one it lists is not my primary job (even though I have my primary set properly in LinkedIn) -- I wish I knew what was driving that...

I am getting into the groove of the keyboard-nav and efficiency gains (specifically, archiving bringing up the next message, where in the gmail interface I still have to advance messages). Not higher score because my unique world doesn't map perfectly to the SH logic, and some of your efficiency gains don't apply to me
Ask why, see what I could do to make the keyboard controls in Gmail behave like SH
lowers the amount of administration / consideration *between* tasks and decisions. Good filters make change costs lower, but the ease of navigating within those contexts is high in SH
Busy, efficient, stubborn, brilliant folks.

I haven't been this impressed with a new software product for as long as I can remember. It's become ingrained in my daily workflow to help me deal with email faster than ever before.
I'd go back to a combo of Gmail on web and Mail on Mac / iPhone
The speed and reassurance of the experience - it just feels so solid.
Founders
It's insanely fast, but I guess my one quibble is that it doesn't feel very "native" on Mac – it's definitely not "A Mac AppTM" – it's an awesome web app in a light wrapper. I am not sure how to describe this better unfortunately, but if the app could feel more genuinely Mac-like, without losing the speed that would be amazing.

I've been able to tackle email better with Superhuman. Not sure if it's the software or the behavioral change it ensued, but I've become a slightly better version of myself with it.
I've been told there are some Chrome extensions that allow injecting shortcuts into gmail. I'd try that.
Productivity and a sense of more control over my inbox.
People that are open to learning and using more of the keyboard shortcuts are the obvious choice. My mom certainly wouldn't be one.
Most html newsletters, that usually have a white background, are rendered weirdly in the carbon theme (white on a carbon background). Not sure how to solve it but there's a source of small anxiety.

Where do I start? It's the perfect email client. It's quick, got all the capabilities I need (which with extensions on Gmail slowed down the email experience tremendously), has the best search out there. It's changed the way I work in but a few days.
Gmail+Gmelius+Clearbit
It has all the super-power email capabilities and yet it's incredibly fast
Everyone who spends more than 30 seconds a day on email
Well it truly is the best product I could ask for - it would be great if: a. on the right bar, in the history of messages I have with a contact, there'll be more emails. b. Mutual LinkedIn connections with that contact. c. a "Translate" button (like Gmail has) to translate emails in other languages. d. As you are stating you like making the impossible happen, it would be amazing if you could miraculously connect to other instant-message protocols (e.g. SMS, Whatsapp, etc.) and be the user's 1-stop-shop for anything textual.

I'd stick with Outlook on iOS, and be a bit stuck on desktop. I've used gmail in the browser for years, but it's not ideal. I'd keep exploring other desktop applications like Spark or Polymail.

I've very recently become addicted to the speed of it, and then to a much smaller degree, the little bits & pieces of tasty features, e.g. the unsubscribe links and the "opened by..." stuff.
I'd go back to Gmail
Speed. Not just executional speed, but the way the flows are designed (e.g. closing one mail auto opens the next). I've gotten very used to it
Someone who receives bursts of emails and gets chunks of time to get through them. So probably leadership & C-level people. Basically anyone for whom email is their job
iOS app - it'll stop me changing gears and make me more used to Superhuman as a way of life. Also, minor UI thing that I know you all care about. Fitt's law, etc. http://d.pr/i/g31fV0 - in this screenshot I want to use the mouse to follow the red line, but in doing so I accidentally deselect the mail I was highlighting. So I think some delay or better grasp of that flow would be nice. (This genuinely happens to me everytime I try to use the right hand bar)

Superhuman has given me something I have lacked for a long time in my workflow - control over my inbox. I now control it, instead of the other way around. I'm more responsive to people who email me, I email out quicker, I have less decision fatigue, and I'm more organized. It would be painful to go back to Gmail.
Gmail
Speed, heavy bias towards taking decisions, keyboard shortcuts
Executives, founders, sales, anyone who spends most of their day in email.
I noticed I need to go into Gmail to delete old labels or create new ones - that sucks. Just opening Gmail and waiting for it to load is anxiety inducing. If there was a way to bring the same level of thoughtfulness to an iOS product that would be amazing. It would need to be as optimized for mobile use as Superhuman is optimized for desktop/web interface use currently.

better sorting/navigating parts of my inbox. sorting of important emails is better than gmail's sorting, and is especially valuable for mobile notifications -- my phone isn't flooded with garbage every time i get out of a meeting
my sense is that salespeople could, although lots of companies compete there. yesware is similar, but there's also outreach and other automation tools. there's less stuff for recruiting, which is where i find superhuman to be superior. i guess i would say it's faster for creating and sending highly personalized emails.
already gave this feedback, but certain things could be better highlighted visually. like if i'm in a long email chain, highlighting my draft in a way that distinguishes it from the rest of the thread would be very helpful.
