Comparison
Troppus vs shared Gmail
Gmail is excellent email. It is a weak support queue once more than one person is responsible for replies.
Choose Troppus if
Any team that already shares a support label, alias, or inbox and keeps dropping balls.
Stay with Gmail if
Solo founders still answering every message themselves with no need for assignments or history by customer.
Quick take
Shared Gmail fails on ownership. Troppus gives each conversation a ticket, an assignee, a status, and a customer profile while still sending from your domain.
Troppus
$10 / agent / month, billed annually
Gmail
Mailbox cost looks cheap until missed replies and CC threads cost real hours

Why teams switch to Troppus
Stop the double reply
Assignments make it obvious who owns the thread before two people answer the same customer.
See what is waiting
Filters and statuses beat digging through labels when the queue gets noisy.
Keep the address, lose the chaos
Point support mail at Troppus with DNS and keep your public address the same.
Where Gmail still wins
Zero new software
If one person handles everything, Gmail may still be enough.
Ad-hoc personal mail
Gmail remains the right tool for ordinary personal and founder email outside a support queue.
Questions
Do we replace Gmail entirely?
No. Agents keep their own mail. Troppus is for the shared support address and ticket workflow.
Will customers email a new address?
Not if you keep the same support address and publish the MX and authentication records we show you.
How long does setup take?
Most teams create a workspace, verify DNS, and take their first ticket the same day DNS propagates.
Ready to leave Gmail complexity behind?
Create a workspace, connect your domain, and run support for $10 per agent a month when billed annually.
