Spark is the most provider-flexible app in this list. It connects Google, Outlook, Exchange, iCloud, Yahoo and any IMAP account, and the free plan already includes the Smart Inbox and unlimited accounts. Spark +AI adds a writing assistant, thread summaries and translation, and the AI Assistant can find, summarize and act on mail when you ask. Plus, at $10 per user per month on the US pricing page, adds advanced productivity tools, team collaboration, templates and 40 AI Meeting Notes. Pro at $20 adds Auto-Drafts, Autopilot, read statuses and a HubSpot integration. Focus features such as Gatekeeper for new senders, Group by Sender and Set Aside are a strength. The catch is that the feature most buyers associate with AI email assistants, drafts waiting for review, sits on Pro, and Readdle does not publish an integration count.
