Sales & support
Let them put their money where their mouth is.
Put a cover charge on your inbox.
Strangers pay. People you trust get through free. Put a cover in front of shared hello@ and support@ before the firehose becomes tickets.
The sift
Three outcomes. One handle.
People you trust pass free. Strangers pay the cover. Noise never arrives.
Trusted
Passes freePeople you trust — and domains you allowlist — reach you with zero friction.
Stranger
Pays the coverUnknowns put money where their mouth is. Settled covers go to you.
Noise
Never arrivesBlocked senders and unpaid covers never touch your real inbox.
Why it fits
An outer gate for the inbox you already staff.
You are not replacing your helpdesk. You are deciding who earns a slot in it.
Shared inbox, public gate
Publish a sift handle; forward approved mail into the mailbox your team already works from.
Known accounts free
Allowlist customer and partner domains so revenue and retention traffic never pays a cover.
Low-intent pays or drops
Anonymous long-tail pitches either put money where their mouth is—or expire in quarantine.
Team reality
Fewer fake tickets. Same tools.
SEO pitches, fake partnership emails, and repeat tire-kickers burn agent hours. A cover charge changes the economics before a ticket is born.
