SpamGenius vs SaneBox
SaneBox sorts email like it's 2010.
SpamGenius filters email like it's 2025.
Content vs Metadata
SaneBox looks at headers (who sent it). SpamGenius reads the content (what it says). This means we catch "Cold Outreach" that SaneBox misses.
Unlimited Features
SaneBox's "Snack" plan ($7/mo) limits you to just 2 folders. SpamGenius gives you full protection for $5/mo. No "Pick 2" games.
Better Price
To get a comparable feature set on SaneBox, you need the "Lunch" plan at $12/mo. SpamGenius is less than half the price.

The Limits of "Rules"
SaneBox was a revolutionary tool... a decade ago. It works by creating rules: "If email is from @newsletter.com, move to @SaneNews."
But spammers have evolved. Today's "Cold Outreach" comes from rotating domains and personal Gmail accounts. A rule-based system cannot catch an email that says "Hey, saw your LinkedIn post..." because the sender address is new.
SpamGenius is different. We use Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand the intent of the email. We know that "I can get you 10 leads a day" is spam, regardless of who sent it. SaneBox sees a new sender; SpamGenius sees an old trick.
