xNord vs HEY
HEY is an opinionated email client. xNord is an AI agent that runs on your existing Gmail — different jobs, different defaults.
If you are comparing a HEY email alternative, the key question is whether you want to re-platform your inbox or layer AI automation on the inbox you already use. xNord takes the second path: we never ask you to abandon your address. Read more on our features page or start a trial from pricing.
