Pros and cons
Front
Pros
- Feels like email for agents and like normal email for customers
- Strong collaboration: comments, @mentions, shared drafts and collision detection
- Scales from a 10-seat Starter plan to Enterprise with SSO, SCIM and custom roles
- AI is optional and priced separately, so you can start without it
Cons
- No free plan, and Starter is capped at 10 seats and one channel type
- Costs climb quickly: Professional is $65 per seat a month billed annually
- Copilot and Autopilot AI are extra unless you are on Enterprise
Missive
Pros
- Lowest starting price of the full shared-inbox apps at $14 per user a month
- Internal chat, tasks and collaborative drafting are built in
- Works with Gmail, Outlook and IMAP, plus messaging channels
- Bring-your-own-key option for AI keeps AI costs in your hands
Cons
- Starter allows only 5 users and has no rules or integrations
- No knowledge base, customer portal or CSAT surveys listed on its plans
- SAML SSO and advanced analytics need the $36 Business plan
