The difference

Inbox tools organize. Sektra runs the inbox and remembers the client.

Commitments and open questions

Every promise and unanswered question, tracked per client across email and WhatsApp. Nothing is lost when a thread is archived.

Quiet-account flags

Sektra learns each client's normal rhythm and says when it breaks, while a check-in still reads as care.

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.

Common questions

Can Sektra and Intercom coexist?
Yes, and many teams keep Intercom for in-product support while moving client relationships to Sektra. If the relationships primarily live in email and WhatsApp, Sektra alone is usually enough.
Can we run both during a trial?
Yes. Your mail stays in Gmail or Outlook underneath either tool, so connecting Sektra changes nothing about the current setup. Every new workspace starts with 14 days of Pro, no card required, which is enough to run the two side by side on the same inboxes and decide.
Is there anything to migrate?
No. Sektra connects over OAuth to the mailboxes you already run and reads the history that is already there, so the memory of each client is complete from the first day.
Does Sektra deflect conversations with an AI agent?
No, by design. Sektra's assistant briefs, drafts, reminds and acts on the inbox for your team; a person always sends. Deflection is the right tool for anonymous volume and the wrong one for named accounts.
How does pricing compare?
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 rather than an add-on, and each seat adds credits to a pool the whole team shares, so one heavy assistant user never becomes a line item.
