⚡ Quick Comparison

Missive: Team email + chat, $18-45/user/mo → expensive for teams
HeyRobyn: Unified inbox + AI phone assistant, $25/mo flat → unlimited team members

Why Choose HeyRobyn Over Missive?

✅ Flat Pricing (No Per-User Fees)

Missive charges $18/user/mo ($216/year per person). A 5-person team = $1,080/year. HeyRobyn is $25/mo flat ($300/year) — save $780/year with unlimited team members.

✅ AI Phone Assistant (Not Available in Missive)

HeyRobyn includes an AI phone agent that autonomously handles calls, screens spam, takes messages, and logs everything — all on-device. Missive has no phone automation.

✅ 100% Private (On-Device AI)

All AI processing happens on your Mac (Apple Silicon optimized). No cloud uploads, no third-party AI APIs, no data sharing. Missive stores data on their servers.

✅ True Unified Inbox

HeyRobyn consolidates email, Slack, GitHub, iMessage, WhatsApp, and Telegram into ONE inbox. Missive focuses on email + SMS/WhatsApp but lacks deep developer tool integration (GitHub, Linear, Jira).

✅ Mac-Native Performance

Built specifically for macOS with Swift + native APIs. Missive is cross-platform (Electron-based), which means slower performance and higher memory usage on Mac.
