## What's the real difference between Mojobase and Missive?

Missive is a communication hub for teams. Shared and personal inboxes for email, SMS, WhatsApp and social sit beside internal threads, collaborative drafting, assignment, team chat, tasks and a calendar, with rules and auto-assignment to keep the queue moving. Contracted and professional services, sales and support teams use it.

Mojobase starts from the same idea, that email and the team's conversation about it belong together, and extends it to the rest of the business. The people you email become customers, with their meetings, tasks and invoices on one page; a support address feeds its own Inbox; documents, the Handbook and the store's numbers are in the same place. The AI drafts with all of that in view.

## How does the AI compare?

Missive's AI assistant drafts replies, searches email and calendar across connected accounts, looks up contacts and finds canned responses, and AI rules can draft, translate and summarise; it's powered by OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini. It needs the Productive or Business plan, with credits at a 25% markup or your own API key.

Mojobase's AI is in every plan, with the model chosen from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Hermes or your own setup. It sorts new mail as it lands, drafts replies from the customer's history and your Handbook, turns requests into suggested tasks and prepares briefs before meetings. A morning run does the first pass on the day, and you set per kind of change whether it waits for a click.

## Which one costs less for a team of five?

Missive costs less. Starter is $14 a user a month billed yearly, $70 for five; Productive, with AI and MCP, is $24 a user, $120 for five, plus AI credits or your own key. Mojobase for five is $139 a month, or $105 for the first 10 companies, for life, with AI, a CRM, a support inbox, documents and Stripe invoice tracking included.

## Where is Missive the better choice?

Missive is the better choice for teams whose customers write on many channels. SMS through Twilio, Quo or Dialpad, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger in the same inbox, up to 1,000 rules, auto follow-ups, SLA and team performance reports, and an MCP server that can draft and send are its strengths. Mojobase has no SMS, WhatsApp or social channels. Choose Mojobase when the inbox is the front door to customers, tasks and invoices that should all live in one place.
