Question 1

What is the difference between Fluxmail and SaneBox?

Accepted Answer

Fluxmail is a complete email client that replaces your inbox with a fast, AI-native one. SaneBox is a filtering service that sits on top of the email you already use and sorts it into folders like SaneLater and SaneNews, mainly using headers and behavior signals. So the real question is whether you want a new inbox built around AI (Fluxmail) or a filter that tidies your existing one (SaneBox).

Question 2

Is Fluxmail cheaper than SaneBox?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you want. SaneBox's Snack plan is $9.99/month, or $5.99/month with annual billing, but it only lets you pick two features and covers one account. To unlock everything SaneBox does, you need Dinner at $44.99/month, or $29.99/month with annual billing. Fluxmail is $15/month, or $12.50/month billed annually, with every feature and up to five accounts included, so for the full experience Fluxmail is cheaper.

Question 3

Does SaneBox have AI like Fluxmail?

Accepted Answer

Not the same kind. SaneBox uses AI and machine learning to sort mail by importance, and its docs list beta AI features for summaries and reply drafts. Fluxmail's AI is built into the email client itself: it can read the full thread when needed, draft in your voice, summarize, search, answer questions, and archive or label mail on command.

Question 4

Is SaneBox more private than Fluxmail?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you're looking for. SaneBox says its core sorting analyzes headers and behavior signals, not message content, and that optional features may retrieve email bodies without storing them. Fluxmail processes message bodies to power its AI, but it never stores them on its servers (they're cached on your device), it encrypts the metadata it handles, it only uses AI providers that don't retain or train on your data, and it's CASA Tier 2 certified. If you want a tool that mostly works as a server-side filter, SaneBox is simpler. If you want AI that can read and write email without your content being stored or trained on, that's Fluxmail.

Question 5

Can I switch from SaneBox to Fluxmail?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and there's nothing to migrate. Fluxmail works on top of Gmail, so your email, labels, and history stay exactly where they are. Sign in with Google and your inbox shows up in Fluxmail right away. You can try it free for 7 days without a credit card. If you cancel SaneBox, it's worth tidying up its folders (SaneLater, SaneNews, and so on), since those are just regular labels.

Question 6

Does Fluxmail work with Outlook like SaneBox does?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. SaneBox works with almost any provider (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and any IMAP account) because it operates at the mail-server level. Fluxmail currently supports Gmail and Google Workspace accounts. If you'd like Outlook support, email hello@fluxmail.ai. It helps us prioritize.

Question 7

What can Fluxmail do that SaneBox can't?

Accepted Answer

Fluxmail is a full client rather than a folder filter. It gives you an AI agent that can search, draft, summarize, and take actions on command, a rules engine that matches on sender, subject, or a natural-language prompt, a priority triage queue you swipe through one message at a time, tasks you can create from any email, a dedicated newsletter shelf grouped by publication, email bundles, and a true unified inbox across accounts. SaneBox focuses on sorting your existing inbox into folders, with beta AI add-ons for summaries and reply drafts.
