The Verdict
Missive is built for agencies and startups, with a focus on shared-inboxes and team-chat. Stormboard targets facilitators and meeting leaders and leads with sticky-notes and templates.
Pricing is close: Stormboard starts at $10/mo versus $14/mo for Missive — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Missive edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Missive has a slight overall edge — but if good for brainstorming matters most to you, Stormboard may still be the right call.
