Google Inbox Alternatives

By

With the closure of Google Inbox, you’ve got a few options to consider as replacements:

  • Gmail – the most obvious replacement
  • Help Scout – simple email helpdesk for solo or team
  • Front – email + socials + team
  • Spark – email + team features
  • Consider – minimalist email client
  • Superhuman – fast email (invite only for now)
  • June – a little AI with your email

Some of the main considerations for choosing email providers are:

  • Design & usability
  • Transferring current data
  • Transitioning across to a new system
  • Training costs
  • What features you need
  • Costs

Some features that you might need but don’t have:

  • The ability to see client contact details alongside emails
  • Reporting on response times
  • Customer satisfaction surveys built in
  • Customer review requests built in
  • Email signatures
  • Workflows so that emails from specific people can be routed, tagged, forwarded or auto-responded to
  • Integration with other apps to add to email marketing lists, see customer lifetime value from accounting software etc
