## Key features

- **Shared inboxes and team spaces:** Team inboxes sit next to personal accounts, grouped into team spaces. Conversations can be assigned to a person or a team, with controls over who sees what.
- **Internal discussion in threads:** Teammates talk about an email in an internal conversation attached to the thread, so nothing has to be forwarded or CC'd.
- **Collaborative drafting:** Several people can write the same reply together in real time before it is sent.
- **Rules and automations:** Automate repetitive handling such as assigning or tagging with up to 1,000 rules. Rules are available from the Productive plan.
- **Multi-channel inbox:** Email from Gmail, Microsoft 365, iCloud or any IMAP account appears alongside SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and live chat conversations.
- **AI assistant and integrations:** An AI assistant drafts and translates replies and can pull context from connected tools over MCP. It comes with Productive, along with 25+ app integrations and the API.

## Good for

- Small teams sharing addresses such as support@ or sales@
- Teams that want to discuss emails internally instead of forwarding them
- Businesses that also talk to customers over SMS, WhatsApp or live chat

- Starter is limited to 5 users and leaves out integrations, rules, API access, the AI assistant and analytics.
- SAML single sign-on and IP restriction are only available on Business.
- Missive says it offers no discounts for students, nonprofits or schools, and yearly plans are not refundable.
