Choose RelayRow if…
- Your email is spread over many domains and you want every address on them in one inbox, without mailbox accounts per address.
- You want seats included in a workspace price instead of paying for every person.
- You want more than three AI providers — OpenRouter, Groq, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI and any OpenAI-compatible API — with a different model per feature and automatic fallback.
- You want each workspace’s AI spend metered and capped in credits, with an exportable usage log.
Missive may suit you better if…
- You want to keep working in existing Gmail or Outlook accounts and add collaboration on top.
- Internal team chat, calendars and native desktop and mobile apps matter as much as the inbox.
- Your team is small enough that per-user pricing stays low.
