## Kitsmith's take

Leads with AI triage — categorization, drafting, and thread summaries — on top of email fundamentals like read receipts and one-click unsubscribe. The free plan is a real, usable inbox rather than a crippled trial (unified inbox, templates, unlimited mail accounts on up to 2 devices); Growth adds the AI copilot for $3/mo billed yearly, and Pro+ adds PGP encryption and phishing/impersonation detection for $10/mo billed yearly. Both paid tiers also sell as a one-time lifetime purchase instead of a forced subscription — unusual for an AI-forward email app.

## Features

- **AI copilot:** Drafts replies, summarizes threads, and categorizes incoming mail; the developer states email content isn’t used to train AI models.
- **PGP encryption & SecureSend:** End-to-end encryption and HIPAA-oriented secure sending, on the Pro+ tier.
- **Read receipts & 1-click unsubscribe:** Confirms when a message was read and clears newsletter clutter in one click.
- **Lifetime purchase option:** Both paid tiers can be bought as a one-time lifetime license instead of a recurring subscription.
