How they compare.
The differences are scope, price, and how your personal time is treated. Where Superhuman's specifics matter, we link to their site rather than quote it, so nothing here goes stale.
| Feature | Pensova | Superhuman |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A to-do list that blocks time for each task around your Google Calendar or Outlook. | An email client with AI features for triage, drafting and summaries. |
| Who it is for | One person who wants their to-do list given time in their own week, at home as much as at work. | People whose problem is the inbox: volume, speed and replies. |
| Auto-scheduling tasks | Yes. Priority first, then duration, then due date, into the earliest free gap inside working hours. Long tasks can split into blocks of at least 30 minutes. | Not its category. See their site for calendar features. |
| Treats personal calendars as commitments | Yes. Anything on a calendar you subscribe to is a commitment it plans around, including busy-only and holiday calendars. | Not its category. |
| Calendars supported | Google Calendar or Outlook and Microsoft 365, one account. Apple Calendar in development, expected Q1 2027. | See their product page: superhuman.com. |
| Ways to add a task | Type it, say it into the microphone, photograph a schedule or appointment card, forward an email, or say "Hey Siri, capture this" from the lock screen or the car. Typed, spoken and photographed tasks come back as a draft you check. A task said to Siri is added straight away, and Siri tells you where it landed. | See their site for capture options. |
| Weekends and evenings | A task due on Saturday is given time on Saturday. Anytime tasks can go from 8 am to 9 pm on any day; everything else stays inside working hours. | See their site for how hours outside work are treated. |
| Meeting notes to tasks | Yes, on Pro: paste notes from any tool, or forward the notes email to a private address. Review the drafts and accept the ones that are yours. | See their site. |
| Teams and projects | Not today. Workspaces, projects and assigning tasks to others are in development, expected Q1 2027. | Team email features exist; see their site. |
| Data it stores about your calendar | Your events are never copied into its database. Pensova checks when you are busy each time it blocks time, then forgets it. It keeps only a short code that shows whether your schedule changed. | See their privacy policy. |
| Pricing model | Lite $9 and Pro $29 a month, or 10% off paid yearly, billed by Stripe. Pricing. | See their pricing page: superhuman.com/pricing. |
| Trial | 7 days free on either plan, card at checkout, nothing charged if canceled in time. | See their pricing page. |
