Our take
Pick Canary Mail if people who will stay on Free while they unify a first Gmail + IMAP inbox — then Growth at US$36/yr when they want Copilot, or Pro+ at US$100/yr when they want PGP / SecureSend, not Spark Plus US$10/mo first unless they want Focused List collab, and not if they need Front’s $25 shared support queue. Pick Missive if support / sales teams who will start the 30-day Productive trial (no card), then
