Loop Email vs Serif

Loop Email is a team email and customer operations platform built around shared inboxes for customer and internal conversations. Teams can assign conversation owners, mention colleagues, send direct messages, and chat privately on email threads. Shared and personal rules automate inbox workflows; other response tools include SLA reminders, notifications, shared templates, collision detection, and round-robin or workload assignment. Loop connects to Gmail, Outlook, Exchange, and IMAP, and provides customizable, automated reports with team productivity metrics. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Starter costs $18.75 a month, billed monthly per user, with a minimum of three users and three shared inboxes. Pro costs $375 a month, billed monthly per user, with a minimum of 10 users and 10 shared inboxes. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card, and charges begin only after subscribing to a paid plan. The provider is identified as Nito d.o.o.

Serif places an AI employee in shared email addresses such as info@, support@ and billing@ to handle routine messages. It connects to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, or can work with an address of its own. The assistant can qualify and route inquiries, answer common questions, collect paperwork, send quotes and follow up on unpaid invoices. Ambiguous or sensitive messages are escalated to the team, and users can approve replies before allowing independent operation. The shared inbox page offers $100 in free credits without a credit card, and each plan includes a 7-day free trial with full access. Listed plans include Lite at $30 a month, Standard at $50 a month, Pro at $200 a month, and Team at $50 a month per user; each is billed monthly. Serif says it is SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and HIPAA compliant, and that emails are neither used to train general AI models nor stored on its servers. Apps are listed for web, macOS, Windows and iOS; Android is coming soon.
