Spike
Conversational email client that turns threads into chat-style conversations, with teams, tasks, and calls built in.
About
Spike (SpikeNow Ltd., Israel) converts traditional email threads into a chat-style interface while external recipients keep getting normal email. It connects to existing Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, and IMAP accounts with no migration. Beyond mail it bundles collaborative notes, tasks, and audio/video calls into one workspace; teams get a shared inbox with assignment, status tracking, and internal comments. AI features include an AI Feed that ranks messages, Magic Summary for threads and files, and Magic Reply drafts.
A free plan covers personal email addresses; paid plans for custom-domain users start around $4 per user per month billed annually. Spike's pitch is consolidation: fewer apps for email, chat, and light collaboration.
