Missive

What it is for

Missive is a hosted Team Inbox desk: you open a shared thread, and Starter is $14/user/month yearly. Use it when the job is a shared inbox you start at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is Missive’s official Team Inbox (Support 3 / Sales 3, Karl Hertz “Same deal for this year?”, Philippe conference email disney.com / philippe@conferencebadge.com, Jessell Da Costa, Antoine Meunier) from the blog still — not a pricing card. The threads themselves are ops of Team Inbox.

Key features

• Team Inbox — a shared mailbox you assign and comment on (cover still; pricing). One desk. Cover Support / Karl Hertz sit here. Assign to me / Search sit here as CTAs, not a sixth desk.
• Individual Inbox — your own Inbox next to Team Inboxes (cover chrome). A personal list, not the Support / Sales shared boxes.
• Chat — a team thread under the mail (cover “Chat with your team”). A chat, not an email row.
• SMS / social accounts — channels you add beside email (pricing Starter: “Email, SMS, social accounts”). A channel, not a Team Inbox row.
• Conversations and tasks — work items on the same thread (pricing). A task, not the Support list.

Assign to me / Search / compose on the cover are CTAs (not desks). Starter / Productive / Business tiles are the meter. Integrations and SAML sit on Productive / Business — plan gates, not a sixth desk we fold into Team Inbox.

Who it's for

Best fit: 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).

Limitations / costs

• No permanent $0 tile. The public start is the 30-day Productive trial, then $14 Starter yearly.
• Productive caps at 50 users on the printed tile. Larger orgs are Business.
• A Team Inbox desk, not Resend’s send API. For transactional send see Resend.

Alternatives

• Resend — a send API when you want Resend’s public $, not a shared Support inbox.
• Postmark — transactional mail when you want Postmark’s public $, not Karl Hertz in Sales.
• Linear — issue reviews when you want Linear’s Free $0 / Basic $10, not a Team Inbox.
