CloudHQ is a strong suite of email utilities — sync, backup, export, label/share helpers. Sortd is a different category: an operations layer built so an AI assistant can read team state and act safely.
| CloudHQ | Sortd | |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Sync / backup / export, productivity add-ons | Team email operation: ownership, state, AI |
| AI classification | Not the focus | Status / urgency / sentiment / risk as an API |
| Agent contract | — | REST v2 + MCP + signed webhooks, scoped and audited |
| Work model | Messages / labels | Tasks, boards, assignments, deal flow |
If you need backup/migration/utilities, CloudHQ is the right tool. If you want an AI assistant to run the team's email work, that's Sortd.
