Compare/ Sektra vs Missive
The Missive alternative that keeps your mail where it is
Missive blends email and team chat into one new app. Sektra keeps mail in Gmail or Outlook, syncs with it, adds WhatsApp, and builds the layer chat cannot: a durable memory of every client.

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
We are on Missive today. What changes?
The team keeps a shared inbox with assignments, mentions and notes, and mail stays in Gmail or Outlook for anyone not on Sektra. What is added is the assistant, the memory of every client, and action items that follow through.
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 have team chat?
Internal notes and mentions live on the thread, which is where most team chat about a client belongs. Sektra does not replace Slack or Teams; it sends what matters into them.
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.
