Aero vs. Gmail

Getting the mail is solved. Deciding about it isn’t.

Gmail is the most capable mail service ever built, and Aero runs on top of it.

It is very good at making sure everything reaches you.

Aero is for what happens after it arrives.

Same address, same history, same contacts. Aero changes the inbox, not the account.

Comparison

Delivery or decisions?

Gmail is a mail service: storage, search, filters, labels, and tabs that sort messages once they are already sitting in your inbox.

Aero is a layer on top of that account. New senders wait in Screener, newsletters and receipts each get their own place, and what’s left is a short list of things that actually need you.
