Read comparison →Best Gmail Alternative for Privacy
Gmail is free because Google monetises your data. Marco connects to your @gmail.com address over IMAP, so you keep your address and your mail, but Google loses the interface that tracks your behavior. No ads, no content scanning, no data monetisation. $4/month.
Read the full breakdown →Superhuman Alternative at $4/mo
Superhuman is fast and polished, but $30/month and limited to Gmail and Outlook. Marco offers broad IMAP provider support, full offline capability, and the same triage-first philosophy at $4/month. The keyboard gap is real; the price gap is bigger.

Spark routes your email through Readdle's servers for collaboration and AI features. If you use Spark as a solo user, you may be paying a privacy cost for team features you don't need. Marco processes everything locally — no server-side content analysis.
Read the full breakdown →Looking for a Hey Alternative?
Hey requires a new @hey.com address and a $99/year commitment. Marco works with your existing email addresses, costs $40/year, and supports any IMAP provider. If you want better email without changing your address, Marco is the shorter path.
