Superhuman is a slightly faster GMail, while Hey (https://hey.com/features/) on the other hand seems like a rethinking of the fundamentals of email starting from "Anyone can email you".

I've tried inbox zero etc. but they all fail in the long run for me (I'm one of those folks with the red badge of shame with literally 40,000 unread emails on my phone), so I'm eager to give Hey a try which gives you a workflow of how to do email: screen, reply-later, focus mode bulk reply.

I got into the "beta" last night only to find out it was a 1 week trial and the cost was $100/year. (Also when claiming emails short addresses costs even more money per year).

Right off the bat it put a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm helping you test your product. Changing your email is a really big commitment, I can't imagine this is the way to convince people to try it.

Wait, don't they allow custom domains? I think this lock-in, even if it is for reinvented email, ought to be a big "no".

No no, you see, you must be _brave_, be _bold_ and irrevocably tie yourself to our product.

I believe that it on their TODO list.

It was explicitly a rollout of a release, not a beta. They weren’t expecting any testing from you. You never saw any beta language on hey.com or your signup email.
