This site is funny, but I'm more seriously interested in a review from anyone that's been using hey.com for an extended time. At my last job, some coworkers switched over to it around the same time last year, but we went our separate ways shortly after. I wonder what the service's trade offs are from the perspective of someone who is past the honeymoon stage.

One of the best reviews I read was from a person who realized that he was not getting any meaningful personal emails.

On my phone at the moment but I've used it for over a year so it's been at least worth $240 to me. I'll update this comment with more info (both pros and cons) when I'm on a computer.

I trialled Hey.com on a professional domain-based email address. I didn’t use it for any prolonged period - a month. However I found it utterly frustrating and like a fisher price version of email. The interface is obnoxious and intrusive and the “tools” it offers are idiotic. Sadly I returned to Google Workspace. I’m perhaps not the target market because I’m probably an email “power user” by a lot of metrics - lots of filters set up to cut the crap, and lots of labels I can apply to triggers automations. I wanted to love it but hated it quite strongly.

I use it both for personal and business email. It works exactly as advertised for me, to the point where I haven't the foggiest notion what I would do for email if I were to switch off of HEY. (I still pay for Fastmail to handle various aliases and forwarding tasks…but I think their web UI sucks so I'd have to switch back to…Apple Mail? Geez.) I have some qualms about how the company is run TBH, but as a service HEY has been rock solid and worth the money for what I need.
