Sektra vs Gmelius: the Gmelius alternative that does the triage for you
Gmelius adds collaboration and automation to Gmail. Sektra is its own workspace syncing with Gmail, Outlook and WhatsApp, with an assistant that does the triage and a memory of every client.
Sektra and Gmelius at a glance
Gmelius prices and features from its public pricing page, verified October 2026.
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 Gmelius, and what stays the same.
We use Gmelius for sequences. Does Sektra do outreach?
No. Sektra is built for the conversations that come back, not for sending campaigns. Teams that run outreach keep a sequencing tool and run the replies and relationships in Sektra.
Is Sektra a Gmail extension?
No. It is a separate workspace that syncs two ways with Gmail and Outlook. That is what lets it add WhatsApp, a record of every client and an assistant that acts on the inbox.
What happens to our Gmelius boards and rules?
Gmelius boards are a kanban view over Gmail labels. Sektra has no boards. It orders the inbox by what each thread would cost to leave and filters by intent, owner and state. Round robin or workload-based assignment replaces hand-built rules. Your Gmail mail and labels are untouched, and Gmelius boards and sequences stay in Gmelius.
Gmelius vs Hiver: which Gmail shared inbox is better?
Both live inside Gmail as extensions. Gmelius leans toward sequences, boards and automation; Hiver toward help desk statuses, SLAs and reporting. A team that has outgrown Gmail's interface, or that needs Outlook or WhatsApp in the same inbox with a record per client, is the team Sektra is built for.
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.
How does pricing compare with Gmelius?
Gmelius runs $19 to $40 per user monthly on annual billing across Meli, Growth and Pro, with a custom quote for Enterprise. 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.
