SaneBox decides what you read; Fasrad handles what you’d have to answer — its own inbox, triaging, drafting, and following up.

Get your Sanebox alternative now — Live in 4 minutes

An agent with its own inbox that triages, drafts replies, and follows up — not another folder you still have to empty.

Sorting the inbox vs. clearing it

SaneBox is good at one thing and honest about it: it learns which senders matter and moves the rest into SaneLater, SaneBlackHole, and a digest. The unimportant mail stops interrupting you. For a lot of people that single move — fewer pings, a quieter inbox — is the whole reason they pay. It does it without changing your mail client, which is part of why it sticks.

But after SaneBox sorts, the work is still yours. The important thread lands in your inbox and you still have to read it, decide, write the reply, and remember to chase the one that goes quiet. Fasrad starts where SaneBox stops: it has its own inbox, reads the full thread, drafts the answer that references what was actually said, proposes times against your calendar, and logs the interaction the moment you send.

Where the line falls:

Pick SaneBox if your problem is volume and you want a quiet inbox you still run yourself. Pick Fasrad if your problem is the answering — the replies, the scheduling, the follow-ups — and you want something that does that part for you.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fasrad just SaneBox with extra steps?

No. SaneBox is a filter — it decides what reaches your inbox and never writes anything. Fasrad has its own inbox and acts: it drafts replies, sends them, books meetings, and follows up. They solve different halves of the problem. SaneBox makes the inbox quieter; Fasrad clears the work.

Where is SaneBox still the better choice?

If all you want is a quieter inbox inside your existing Gmail or Outlook with nothing acting on your behalf, SaneBox is the cleaner fit. It's lighter, lives entirely in your current client, and never drafts or sends anything — which is exactly what some people want. It also doesn't move your mail to a hosted agent. If you're not ready to let software draft on your behalf, start there.

Do I have to build rules and folders?

No. You tell Fasrad in plain language what matters — 'flag clients, draft scheduling replies, ignore newsletters' — and it learns your senders over time. There's no rule builder and no folder tree to maintain.

Will it send email without me seeing it?

By default it drafts and shows you a triage card to approve. You can open specific lanes — say, routine scheduling confirmations — to send automatically once you trust them. You stay in control of what's autonomous.

Can it move my existing SaneBox setup over?

There's nothing to migrate in the rule sense — Fasrad doesn't use folder rules. You connect the same inbox and describe how you triage. If you keep SaneBox running, the two don't conflict; Fasrad reads whatever lands in the inbox SaneBox left there.

How much does it cost?

$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime. SaneBox bills per inbox on tiered plans; Fasrad gives you an agent that drafts, books, and follows up rather than only sorting. Setup is about four minutes and it's in public beta.
