Fluxmail vs Canary Mail
Canary Mail is a budget-friendly native email app whose AI Copilot runs on weekly credits. Fluxmail is an AI-first Gmail client where the agent, triage, and drafting are included in one plan with a monthly usage allowance instead of weekly credits.
No credit card required. Cancel anytime.
AI included in the plan
Flux AI comes with your plan and a monthly usage allowance. Canary's Copilot draws on weekly credits with unpublished limits.
An agent, not a beta
Flux AI archives, labels, and drafts from chat. Canary's Chat Assistant is still in beta and answers, but doesn't act.
Deep Gmail focus
Fluxmail is built for Gmail: instant server sync and real-time triage. Canary spreads across every provider and four native apps.
