What is Spike?

Spike brings your entire workspace into your Inbox: email, chat, calendar, calls, team collaboration, tasks to one modern Inbox. Spikes conversational email fuses traditional email with instant messaging eliminating cluttered email threads. With real-time conversations and live collaboration, Spike allows for better interactions and a more human communication experience.

Spike works on top of your existing email and is available on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows & Web. This gives you a single, unified, and fully functioning workspace for all your and your team's tasks.

Benefits of using Spike

Conversational Email: Email headers, signatures, and quoted text are automatically hidden to present conversations in simplified flows, and users can revert to original email formatting with a click.

Live Collaboration in Notes & Docs: Create, collaborate and share documents without leaving your Inbox. Use the built-in chat to discuss ideas, leave comments and collaborate with anyone.

Tasks & To Dos: Spike makes managing your tasks a breeze. Organize and prioritize your tasks, projects, and even your grocery list. Create, manage, track, set reminders and complete tasks all from your Inbox.

Priority Inbox: See important conversations first. Non-priority messages are sorted into a separate inbox to avoid distractions.

Real-time Awareness: View when someone in a conversation is typing, and when the recipients have seen their messages.

Unified Inbox: Multiple email accounts can be combined in a single inbox, and multiple calendars can also be consolidated into a single screen.

Email Triage: Users can send built-in rapid responses or create their own, and access shortcuts by swiping, to archive messages, delete messages in bulk, and more.

Customization: Notifications can be customized for each user, allowing for muting threads, setting unique notification sounds for each contact, and switching off notifications for non-priority messages.

Team Chat: Group chat within your inbox! No logins, no links, just everyone on the same page, all from your inbox. And the best part is that all you need to join, is your email address.

The Fastest, Search. Ever: Stop wasting your time on endless searches. Search all messages, files and contacts instantly, across all your inboxes and cloud storage accounts. Spike’s Super Search is the fastest way to find and attach anything.

See Through Walls (or files): Visually preview all attachments without having to download or open files one by one.

Pros

I really like the clear and clean interface, I love simple and non-confusing things. It has everything it takes to get into the toolbox of marketing.

Raffaele B.

Owner

The incredibly fast customer service - The CS team is really fast (and personable, and friendly and helpful) when I have an issue. And I feel super well-taken-care-of.

Michael H.

Managing Partner

I love the way it takes out the extra elements in a mail like images and branding, and makes it 100% text. Which helps you get to the point and understand what need to be understood.

Aury F.

Project Manager & Architect

Cons

Not that if one person viewed it, I'll have the impression that everyone else did which is false and feels misleading.

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

The organization got very confusing when one person wrote to more than one of my accounts. It got worse when I wanted to write a new email to a person who wrote me at more than one account.

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

Their business approach is misleading - they actually alter the contents of your emails without clearly stating they will do so.
