Sektra vs Drag: the Drag alternative that remembers the client
Drag turns Gmail into boards. Sektra turns your team's mail into an inbox that sorts itself and a record of every client relationship, across Gmail, Outlook and WhatsApp.

What Sektra keeps that a shared inbox tool leaves behind
Commitments and open questions
Every promise and every unanswered question, tracked per client across email and WhatsApp. Archiving a thread does not lose it.
Silence watches
Ask Sektra to watch any client and it tells you the day they go quiet. The morning digest lists everyone who owes you a reply, so a check-in lands before the renewal call.
An assistant that acts
Ask what was promised and get a cited answer. Hand it the work and it assigns, drafts, reminds and watches for you.
Questions, answered
What changes when a team moves from Drag, and what stays the same.
We think in boards. Does Sektra have them?
No. Drag's boards are columns over Gmail labels that a person moves cards across. Sektra orders the inbox by what each thread would cost to leave and lets you filter by intent, owner and state. It explains why each thread is where it is, with the client's record behind it.
Is Sektra more expensive than Drag?
Per seat, yes. Drag runs $12 to $24 per user monthly for boards and shared labels inside Gmail, with its AI included on Plus and Pro. Sektra Standard is $29 per seat billed annually ($35 monthly) and Pro is $59 annually ($69 monthly). Every AI feature is in the plan price, and each seat adds credits to a pool the whole team shares. The price covers the assistant, the record of every client, Outlook and WhatsApp.
Do we need Outlook or WhatsApp to get value from Sektra?
No. A Gmail-only team gets the triage, the record of every client and the assistant on day one. Outlook and WhatsApp are there when a client or a new hire needs them.
Can we run both during a trial?
Yes. Sektra syncs two ways with the Gmail or Outlook mailboxes you already run, so connecting it changes nothing about your current setup. Every new workspace starts with 7 days of Pro and no card is required. That is enough to run the two side by side on the same mailboxes and decide.
Is there anything to migrate from Drag?
No. Drag lives inside Gmail and so does your mail. Connect the same mailboxes to Sektra through Google sign-in and it reads the history that is already there. Drag's boards stay in Drag.
