Gmail vs Gmail with Sortd: what your inbox is missing

Gmail is where your business already lives — and it was never designed for teamwork. Forwarded threads, “did anyone reply to this?”, labels that mean different things to different people, follow-ups that live in someone's memory. Sortd doesn't replace Gmail. It turns the Gmail your team already uses into a shared workspace: shared inboxes without forwarding chaos, visual boards, follow-up tracking, Sortd AI triage — and, when you're ready, AI agents working under your supervision.

Trusted by 400,000+ professionals · voted #1 for Gmail on Product Hunt · featured in TechCrunch, Forbes and Fast Company · Google Launchpad alumni · verified Google Workspace app

In one sentence: keep everything you love about Gmail, add everything it's missing for working with other people — with nothing to migrate and nothing new to learn on day one.

Assigning an email to a teammate in Sortd for Gmail

Why not just use Google Groups or a shared login?

Google's own answers to shared email — Groups as collaborative inboxes, or a shared login — break down fast: no ownership, no statuses, no view of what's overdue, and in the shared-login case, a security problem. Sortd gives every mailbox a workspace: emails become cards, cards carry owners, notes, deadlines and custom fields, and automations plus Sortd AI keep the board honest. Your customers still just get email from your real addresses — no ticket numbers, no “do not reply.”

For individuals and professionals too

Sortd started as the smart skin for Gmail — and the personal experience is still the foundation: a private board and day planner, drag-and-drop prioritization, follow-up reminders, grouped emails and tasks in one place. Solo professionals use Sortd to run client work entirely from Gmail; teams grow into the shared features when they're ready. Nothing about Sortd requires you to start with a team.

And when you're ready for AI

Sortd AI is built into the plans — Smart Status from Essentials, urgency, sentiment and content-based assignment on Business, complaint alerts arriving on Business Plus — governed by a plain-English fair-use policy, never a credit meter. And when your team wants an AI agent working the mailbox, Sortd for Agents connects the agent you already use through a full API and MCP server: drafts-for-review by default, graduated send permissions, full audit trail.
