Should I Use Sortd for Gmail?

sortd.com·Analyzed 8 hours ago··Based on 12 sources

Turns Gmail into a shared inbox and visual workflow: owners, statuses and boards for support@, sales@ and orders@ — inside Gmail.

Depends

Depends

Buy it if your small team lives in Gmail and shares support@, sales@ or orders@ and wants assignment without a separate help desk.

Gmail-native shared inbox for small teams; skip if you're off-Gmail or need real ticket queues and security docs.

Pros

  • Works inside Gmail — no new app, forwarding or ticket numbers¹
  • Shared inboxes get owners, statuses and deadlines via boards
  • Free to start; 2-minute setup claims
  • Unlimited inboxes and users from the Business tier³
  • Mobile app runs shared inboxes, boards and tasks on the go

Cons

  • Boards, not ticket queues — no classic help-desk structure³
  • Rival Drag claims to ship newer AI features at $12–$24/seat12
  • Outdated jQuery 1.11.1 flagged with potential vulnerabilities
  • No dedicated security page found on the vendor site

Gotchas

  • highGmail/Workspace only — Outlook or mixed-email teams cannot use it at all.
  • mediumAnnual vs monthly gap is steep: Starter is $10 annual vs $14 monthly (~40% premium).²
  • mediumUnlimited inboxes and users are locked behind the Business tier at $22/user annual.³
  • mediumGuess: boards and workflow data live in the add-on; exporting out may be manual and lossy.

Best for

  • Small teams on Google Workspace
  • Shared inboxes: support@, sales@, orders@

  • Visual, Kanban-style email organizers

Not for
