Superhuman vs Sistava
Superhuman is the fastest email client, built on keyboard shortcuts, aggressive performance work and AI drafting, triage and follow-up reminders. Founded in 2015, it raised over $114M at an $825M valuation before Grammarly acquired it in July 2025; by October 2025 the parent company had rebranded as Superhuman and launched a suite spanning writing, workspace, mail and a proactive assistant. Sistava does not compete on inbox speed. It competes on whether a human needs to be in the inbox at all for a given piece of work.

What is Sistava?
Sistava is an AI workforce platform where you hire AI employees and work with them through conversation. Tell an employee what you need in plain language, and Sistava handles the setup behind the scenes, including the tools, context, and team coordination needed for the work. You do not need to learn AI configuration or build workflows first. You can start with the work you want done, stay involved in the decisions that matter, and see how your team is moving forward.
