# Spike

> Chat-style email app with team chat, notes, tasks and video calls

Spike shows email threads as chat-like conversations grouped by person, while recipients outside Spike still get ordinary email. It comes in two forms. The Email App sits on top of an existing Gmail, Microsoft or other account, and Teamspace gives a team its own addresses along with channels, groups, collaborative notes and tasks, video calls and a shared inbox. Both have a free tier and run on mobile, desktop and the web.
