Ellie vs MailSome

Ellie is an AI email assistant that drafts replies in a user’s writing style using email-thread context. Connected to Gmail or Outlook, it can read incoming messages, categorize them, and save draft replies for review; it does not send messages without the user reviewing and sending them. Ellie learns tone, sign-offs, and writing patterns from sent mail. Users can add website URLs and upload PDF, TXT, DOCX, PPTX, or MD files to provide factual context, while roles set different personas, knowledge bases, and tones for different email types. Ellie supports connected Gmail and Outlook accounts and on-demand drafting in Gmail Web and Outlook Web. It is available on the web, Windows, and through Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge extensions, as well as a native Outlook desktop add-in. The free plan allows 10 draft replies per day but has no auto-drafts. Paid plans start at $19 a month. A 7-day trial is listed. Ellie says email content is processed by OpenAI and/or Azure OpenAI and is not used to train general models.

MailSome is an AI email writer for Gmail, available through a browser extension and the web. It reads the current email thread and places contextual suggestions in Gmail’s reply field. You can choose neutral, friendly, critical, formal, or casual tones, then correct, rephrase, or translate text. Replies are available in German or English, while the PRO plan is described as multilingual. The free service provides five emails each day without signup. A 14-day PRO trial is available without commitment. PRO costs €9 a month and includes unlimited AI replies, multilingual support, updates, and priority support. The homepage says registration and storage are not required and describes user data as private and secure. MailSome appears automatically in Gmail after installation. It is made by Campus IT Consulting GmbH in Grünwald, Germany.
