Senttri vs. Shortwave

Shortwave is an AI email client built specifically for Gmail and Google Workspace — its own documentation confirms it doesn't connect to Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Microsoft 365, or any other provider. Senttri unifies all of those into one inbox instead. Shortwave starts at $30/seat/month; Senttri starts at $14/user/month.

Shortwave is an AI-heavy email client built specifically for Gmail and Google Workspace — by design, it doesn't connect to Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Microsoft 365, or anything else. Its own documentation is direct about this: multiple Gmail accounts get fast switching, not a merged inbox, and reaching anything resembling "unified" requires forwarding other accounts' mail into one primary Gmail account.

If your whole email life already lives in Gmail, Shortwave's AI search and assistant are genuinely strong. Senttri is built for the more common real case: a Gmail account here, a work Microsoft 365 account there, maybe an old Yahoo or iCloud address you still check — actually merged into one inbox, not forwarded into each other.
