What Needle is

Needle is a web-based email tool for inbox triage, thread summaries, AI reply drafting, and follow-up actions. It drafts replies but does not send them automatically. The free Needle Free plan costs 0.00 USD and connects one account, with one Daily Brief per day, 5–10 thread summaries per month, five rewrites per month, three active follow-up reminders, and five snippets. Needle Pro supports 2–3 connected mailboxes, three Daily Briefs daily, 2,000 AI actions per month, and 100 attachment AI actions monthly. Needle Max supports 5–10 connected mailboxes, 6,000–10,000 AI actions per month, and 500 files per month. Annual options are listed for Pro and Max with the same allowances. Enterprise adds an admin panel, organization delegation graph, audit logs, SSO/SAML, a SOC 2 compliance package, GDPR controls, custom AI policies, data-retention rules, and send approval flows. Needle uses a freemium model and is available through the web.
