Email is the backbone of modern business communications. Every day, billions of emails are exchanged inside and between businesses discussing everything from investment decisions, to high-stakes negotiations, to product designs, to major purchases. Email is the one tool that connects everyone — employees, customers, vendors, even the CEO. The biggest decisions are made in the email inboxes of business leaders. And yet, the inbox you rely on every day has not fundamentally improved in over a decade. It lacks the basic tools you need to get organized, and it's full of marketing spam and other junk. Sure, it shows you your emails, but it doesn't help you make sense of them, and it certainly doesn't help you get things done. Artificial intelligence has completely changed what is possible with modern productivity software. What if your inbox didn't just show you your emails, but actually understood them. What if it could give you answers, rather than just running searches? What if it unlocked insights from your inbox that helped you make better decisions? What if it could make intelligent recommendations right when you needed them? At Shortwave, we're leading the way in combining cutting-edge AI technology with world-class design & productivity practices to bring you the world's most advanced email client. We aim to not just save you time, but to actually make you smarter too. Our team previously built products used by millions at Firebase and Google, and we're backed by world-class investors including Union Square Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners. * * * Seller [Shortwave Communications](https://www.g2.com/sellers/shortwave-communications) Discussions [Shortwave Community](https://www.g2.com/products/shortwave-communications-inc-shortwave/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Sophia Seltenreich Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Shortwave. ### Free Free 1 User Per Month ### Pro $18.00 1 User [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/shortwave-communications-inc-shortwave/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Superhuman Mail](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Superhuman Mail") Superhuman Mail 4.8/5(1,281) ](https://www.g2.com/products/superhuman-mail/reviews) [ ![Thunderbird](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Thunderbird") Thunderbird 4.3/5(340) ](https://www.g2.com/products/thunderbird/reviews) [ ![SaneBox](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "SaneBox") SaneBox 4.8/5(241) ](https://www.g2.com/products/sanebox/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/shortwave-communications-inc-shortwave/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 68 real user reviews.

It organises my emails and provides markdown support for composing emails, as well as the ability to pin significant emails/groups to the top of the screen. It groups trivial mails, such as updates from social media and automatic confirmations from retailers such as Flipkart, into one and the threads already tagged for something else, e.g. a project, are automatically placed in another folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Shortwave? It is a paid service, although not extremely expensive. it can access only the past 90 days of mails for free. It also lacks the ability to schedule emailsand folders such such as spam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Shortwave solving and how is that benefiting you? As it sorts my inbox, and there are considerably fewer emails that need my immediate attention. I know which messages can wait, and I can get to the important ones fast. Shortwave's Do Not Disturb setting also delays all emails till later. It allows me to choose the kind of emails I wish to receive and clears my notification panel of unwanted notifications like offers and marketing information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
