Gmelius vs Zoho Mail

Gmelius is a Gmail-native platform for creating AI agents that carry out defined team jobs across connected tools. Users describe an agent’s task in plain language, choose the inbox it monitors, connect tools, and decide which actions need approval, without writing code. Meli, described as an AI Chief of Staff, supplies agents with context about a team’s clients, history, and priorities. Gmelius also provides shared Gmail inboxes and labels, shared drafts, email notes and mentions, delegation, templates, analytics, calendar tools, and scheduled sending. Listed integrations include Google Groups, Google Workspace Admin, Meet, Calendar, Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Trello, Nicereply, Zapier, Make, and Relay.app. The Gmail extension supports Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera; listed platforms also include Android, iOS, API, and web. There is no free plan, but a seven-day trial gives access to Growth; afterward, users must choose a paid plan or the account is suspended. Prices start at $19/user/mo (annual).

Zoho Mail provides custom-domain email hosting for businesses, with access through web, desktop and mobile apps. The free plan supports one domain and up to five users, each with 5 GB of mail storage; it excludes IMAP, POP and Active Sync. Paid plans start at $1/user/mo when billed annually, and a 15-day trial is listed. Security features include TLS, S/MIME and AES-256 encryption at rest, while administrative controls include role-based access, custom security policies, audit logs and eDiscovery.
