Google Inbox Alternatives

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
