Missive vs Spark Mail

Our take

Pick Missive if support / sales teams who will start the 30-day Productive trial (no card), then Starter at $14/user/month yearly when the team is small, or Productive at $24 when they need integrations (cap 50 users on that tile). Pick Spark Mail if teams who will stay on Free while they clear a first Focused Inbox — then Plus at US$10/user/mo (or US$99/yr) when they want Gatekeeper / extra productivity, not
