The short answer
Choose Fyxer if you want your whole inbox sorted and a draft reply waiting on every email. Choose Emily if you'd rather not give an assistant your mailbox, and want one that actually sends, books and chases for you when you delegate.

Where Fyxer is better
- Inbox triage. Fyxer labels every incoming email and lifts the important ones to the top. Emily doesn't touch your inbox at all.
- A draft on every email. Fyxer writes replies to the mail you receive, in your tone, inside your own inbox. With Emily you forward the emails you want handled.
- Meeting notes. Fyxer takes notes on your calls; Emily doesn't join meetings.
- Replies come from you. Fyxer's drafts go out from your own address when you send them. Emily writes as your assistant, from her address.
Where Emily is better
- She acts, not just drafts. Emily sends emails, books meetings end to end and chases people until they reply. Fyxer says it never sends.
- No mailbox access. Emily connects to your calendar only, so an assistant never reads everything you receive.
- Any email provider. You delegate by email, so it works from Gmail, Outlook, iCloud or your own domain.
- Pay for what you use. £5 a month includes 50 actions, then 10p each; quiet months cost little.
- Texting. On a UK mobile you can text Emily as well as email her.
Which should you choose?
If your problem is volume - too much email arriving and not enough time to read it - an inbox assistant like Fyxer is built for that. If your problem is follow-through - meetings to arrange, people to chase, emails you keep meaning to send - Emily is built for that. Some people use both: one to tame the inbox, the other to get things done.
Questions
Is Emily a Fyxer alternative?
For some people. If you want an assistant that sends emails, books meetings and chases people for you - without reading your inbox - Emily is an alternative. If you want your inbox triaged and a draft on every email, Fyxer does that and Emily doesn't.
Can Fyxer send emails for me?
No. Fyxer's own FAQ says it only drafts and never sends. Emily sends as your assistant when you ask her to.
Which is cheaper?
Emily's list price is £5 a month including 50 actions, then 10p per action. Fyxer lists $22.50 per user a month billed annually for Starter and $37.50 for Professional, which adds scheduling. Your cost with Emily depends on how much you use her.
