Review in detail
eM Client is an email client developed by eM Client s.r.o., a limited liability company established under Czech law. The company has its registered seat at Thámova 166/18 in Prague 8 and is registered in the Commercial Register of the Municipal Court in Prague under number C 178930.
The eM Client home page describes eM Client 11 as email powered by AI, with an AI Assistant in the sidebar. The pricing page lists a free licence, subscriptions and one-time payments, and the app is offered for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.
What eM Client covers beyond email
eM Client combines email, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes and chat in one app. The contacts page says contacts can sync with Gmail, iCloud and other services and show the communication history for every contact.
The paid plans list unlimited email accounts, Snooze and Quick Actions. The AI Assistant can search old emails, tidy a folder or write a first draft of a reply, according to the home page.
eM Client prices and licences
The Free licence costs 0 €, requires registration, is limited to home use on 1 device and allows 2 email accounts. Personal costs 49,95 € per year for one person on up to 3 devices, with the AI Add-on included.
Personal is also sold as a one-time payment of 74,95 € with lifetime upgrades to future major versions. Business costs 59,95 € per year or 89,95 € once, per device, with a commercial licence and volume discounts.
eM Client compared with Superhuman
Superhuman Mail lists $25 USD per member per month on Starter, billed annually. eM Client costs 49,95 € for a whole year on Personal, so the price gap is large for a single user.
Superhuman is a subscription service with team features and unified billing. eM Client is a local desktop client, so it offers fewer team workflows on the pages we read.
Known limits
eM Client is a desktop-first client and the pricing page names Windows and macOS licences, so Linux users are not covered. The pages we read do not describe shared inbox or team collaboration features like Superhuman's team plans. Hosting and data location are not stated, and AI features use an add-on that the Free licence does not include. For a free Android option see FairEmail.
Best suited to users of eM Client
Individuals and small businesses on Windows or macOS who want one desktop app for mail and calendar, and who would rather pay once than rent a subscription.
