Our Verdict

The best shared inbox for teams that live in email, pricey once you scale past a few seats.

Pros

  • Collaborative comments without CC hell
  • Solid API and integration marketplace
  • Good analytics for email-heavy teams

Cons

  • Pricing escalates quickly with seats

  • Mobile apps less polished than web
  • Learning curve for full workflow power
Best for: Ops, success, and sales teams handling high-volume email collaboratively. Not for: Classic helpdesk workflows better served by Zendesk or Intercom.
