Front – Centralize all your company communication in one place

If you’re looking for a professional yet user-friendly tool to handle emails and customer inquiries, Front is one of the most effective solutions on the market. It brings all company communication together in one place so your team can collaborate directly on emails, chat internally, and ensure nothing is missed.


A single shared inbox with full visibility

Overview in Front: a classic email list and reading pane plus smart fields where tasks can be assigned, tagged, and routed to people or teams.

Front makes it easy to consolidate all your company’s emails and messages in one shared inbox accessible to the whole team.
We tested the app on a standard Windows 11 PC and found it to be lightning fast and intuitive. For example, you can:

  • Assign emails directly to specific teammates
  • Write internal comments on messages
  • Set up automatic replies and workflows
  • See who is already working on a customer request

That means goodbye to CC chaos, messy email threads, and misunderstandings — everything is handled right inside the app.


Free trial and pricing

Front offers a free 7‑day trial, so you can test every feature with no commitment.
Then choose between three plans:

  • Starter – about $19/month per user (2–9 users)
  • Growth – for mid-sized teams with automation and CRM integration
  • Scale – for larger organizations with advanced workflows and analytics

Pricing is competitive compared to Zendesk and Intercom, especially considering Front’s ease of use.


Benefits of using Front in daily work

Assign a responsible person to a specific email. The task is delegated, the message jumps to the top of their inbox, and action is required before it leaves their queue.

Many companies use Front for customer service, IT support, and internal coordination. The platform works seamlessly with Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Asana, and more.

Front feels like a blend of email and project management — you can pull tasks straight from emails into to‑do lists.
This helps you save time replying, coordinating, and keeping track of who owns what.


Alternatives and similar software

If you’re digitizing your workflow, consider pairing Front with:

  • Lunatask – a task manager for personal productivity
  • Monday.com – a powerful project management platform that also offers a free trial
  • Heimdal Security – Danish security software that can protect your company’s communication
