What Gmelius is built for

Gmelius turns Gmail into a collaboration workspace. It adds shared inboxes and labels, kanban boards, email templates, sequences, automation rules, round-robin assignment, and SLA rules, all accessible from inside Gmail. Its AI assistant drafts replies, classifies mail, schedules meetings, and automates follow-ups. It suits teams that want many workflow tools without leaving Gmail's interface.

What Tutti is built for

Tutti is narrower, and deliberately so. It does one loop extremely well: mail arrives, AI files it, AI drafts the reply, a person approves, the reply sends. That loop is what communications teams run all day across press, partnerships, and events.

One shared inbox for every Gmail account your team uses.
AI labels every conversation using your own label definitions, including what belongs and what does not.
AI drafts from the entire thread, and leaves unknowns as [placeholders] rather than guessing.
Nothing sends without approval. Members submit drafts for review, and owners and admins approve and send in one click.

Review built in, not bolted on

Gmelius offers notes and mentions so teammates can discuss a draft. Tutti makes review a first-class step. Drafts from members land in an approval queue, reviewers see the full thread and recipients next to the draft, and they can approve and send, or request changes with a note. For teams where one message can shape a partnership or a headline, that structure is the point.

Pricing for a five-person team

Five users on Gmelius cost $105 per month on Meli, $165 on Growth, or $250 on Pro when billed monthly. Tutti is $250 per month per workspace for up to 5 teammates, and that single plan includes everything: AI labeling and drafts, templates, contacts, search, approvals, Gmail label mirroring, and roles with fine-grained permissions. The first workspace gets a 14-day free trial with no credit card.

Privacy and data handling

Tutti imports only threads that match one of your labels, and the rest of your mailbox is never stored. AI runs on zero-data-retention providers, so your mail is never stored or trained on by the model provider. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and every workspace is isolated.

Setup and switching

Connect each Gmail account with one Google click, name your labels, and Tutti sorts and drafts your unread backlog without sending anything. Labels are mirrored back to Gmail, so the organization Tutti creates is visible to anyone still working in Gmail.

The bottom line

Gmelius is a strong pick if you want boards, sequences, and SLAs inside the Gmail interface. Tutti is the better fit when the priority is a clean AI triage and drafting loop with a real approval step, on one predictable plan.
