Overview

InReply connects to Gmail or Outlook via OAuth and answers customer email from knowledge you upload — FAQs, PDFs, CSVs, terms or your website. It classifies and routes incoming mail, then either saves each reply as a draft (Ghost Mode) or sends it automatically when confidence passes a threshold you set. Emails it cannot answer are raised to you.

Best for
Small businesses handling customer email in Gmail or Outlook who want replies sent, not just drafted.
Pricing
No free plan beyond a 14-day trial; paid plans are £39, £79 and £149 per month by email volume, with a contact-sales Business tier.

How this score is made up

Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

  • MCP support

    Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.

  • Documentation

    Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.

  • Agent friendliness

    How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.

  • Pricing transparency

    Whether real prices are published, self-serve signup exists, and usage costs are knowable without a sales call.

  • Changelog

    A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.

  • Marketing site structure

    Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, performance and accessibility.

  • Operational trust

    Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

Measured, but not part of the score

Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

  • Openness

    Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.

  • Maintenance

    Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
