- €10/mo flat
- Missive
- From $18/user/mo
Choose Trupeo for a low-cost shared inbox that works with Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Microsoft 365, and IMAP. Choose Missive if you want a broader collaboration app with chat, tasks, AI, and a free plan for a tiny team.
Competitor prices come from public pricing pages and exclude conversion, taxes and possible changes. Native Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 features assume the organization already pays for those suites.
Overview
Missive is one of the best-known collaborative inbox tools for small and mid-sized teams. It combines shared email, team chat, tasks, SMS, comments, and AI assistance in a single workspace. Teams that want email to sit inside a broader collaboration app can get a lot from Missive.
Trupeo focuses on the shared mailbox itself. It helps a small team assign emails, avoid duplicate replies, keep internal notes next to the message, and connect the providers they already use: Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Microsoft 365, or IMAP.
Both tools are for collaboration, but the product philosophy is different. Missive can become the team’s communication hub. Trupeo stays closer to the mailbox and keeps pricing flat.

Pricing
Missive’s Starter plan is listed from $18 per user per month when billed annually. A team of five would therefore start around $90/month. The free plan can be useful for a very small team testing the workflow, but teams that need more history, integrations, or users will move to paid tiers.
Trupeo is €10/month flat. The cost does not change when a third, fourth, or fifth person joins the shared mailbox. If the feature set you need is email collaboration rather than a complete communication workspace, that difference is substantial.
Who It’s For
Choose Trupeo if:
- Your shared inbox is mainly email.
- You want no per-user fees.
- You need broad provider support, including IMAP.
- You prefer a focused tool that is easy to explain to the team.
Choose Missive if:
- You want email, chat, tasks, and comments in one app.
- You value AI writing or summarization features.
- Your team is comfortable adopting a new communication workspace.
- The free plan or per-user pricing matches your size.
Verdict
Missive is a capable collaboration product, especially if your team wants more than email. It can replace several small tools and gives power users a rich workspace.
Trupeo is better when you do not want email to become a project. It keeps the core shared inbox jobs visible: who owns the message, what has been said internally, and whether someone is already replying. If simple and flat-priced matters most, Trupeo is the cleaner choice.
