Meco Alternative
Meco gives you a separate inbox just for newsletters, with its own app (iOS and web). The free tier covers a dedicated mailbox, groups, bookmarks, and audio summaries; Meco Pro ($34.99/year or $3.99/month) adds linking up to three Gmail/Outlook accounts, AI summaries, offline reading, and audio roundups. It's a genuinely well-built reader - the tradeoff is that it's another app to open, separate from your actual inbox.
| Feature | Summaries | Meco |
|---|---|---|
| Core approach | AI-summarized digest delivered to your existing inbox | Full newsletters read inside a separate app |
| Where you read it | Your own inbox — no new app to check | Meco's own app (iOS/web) |
| AI summarization | Yes, on every plan | Yes, on Meco Pro only |
| Custom email aliases | Yes — disposable aliases per newsletter | Dedicated mailbox address, tied to the Meco app |
| Multi-account linking | Not needed — aliases work independently of your inbox provider | Up to 3 Gmail/Outlook accounts (Pro) |

Free tier available; Pro is $34.99/year ($3.99/month).
Who Meco is for
Meco is for people happy to make newsletter reading its own dedicated habit in a separate app, especially if they want offline reading, audio roundups, or highlights. If you'd rather everything just show up pre-summarized in the inbox you already check, Summaries skips the extra app entirely.
