Microsoft Copilot
- +Deepest integration into tools people already live in, grounded in org data via Microsoft Graph
- +A genuine agent platform with open MCP and A2A interop and multi-model choice (OpenAI, Anthropic, in-house)
- +Enterprise-grade controls, with licensed-user agent usage zero-rated in M365 apps
- -Layered, confusing pricing: the $30 seat is an add-on on top of a base license, and agents bill in separate credits that were renamed in 2025
- -The flagship in-app experience is assistant/copilot, not autonomous, so agent marketing can overstate it
Superhuman
- +Fast, keyboard-driven email with AI drafting, summarization, and triage that genuinely speeds up inbox work
- +Superhuman Go adds a proactive assistant and an Agent Store of first- and third-party agents
- +Backed by Superhuman (formerly Grammarly), unifying Grammarly, Coda, and Superhuman Mail
- -Premium pricing for an email client, and Superhuman Mail sits in the higher Business tier
- -Pricing and packaging shifted after the rebrand, which can be confusing
