About Missive

Missive is an email client built for teams who share inboxes such as support@ or sales@ addresses. Conversations can be assigned, commented on privately, drafted together and moved through rules, and the same app handles personal email, internal chat, SMS, WhatsApp and social messages. It connects to Gmail, Microsoft 365, IMAP and custom domains, and adds calendars, canned responses, integrations with tools like Shopify or HubSpot, and analytics on higher plans. Apps run on the web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. Pricing is per user per month in tiers that differ by team size limits, integrations, rules and analytics, after a free trial. It sits between a regular email client and a help desk: lighter and cheaper than Front, but without the full ticketing and knowledge base features of support platforms. Individuals who don't share inboxes will find it more than they need.

Best for: Small teams that share email addresses and want to collaborate on replies.
