cloudHQ has no Notion, Airtable, Linear, or Trello. Quicktion does.
Export Emails to Sheets is a Chrome extension that writes Gmail into spreadsheets and cloud storage. Quicktion writes to Notion, Sheets, Airtable, Linear, and Trello. And because it works by forwarding, the mail doesn't have to be in Gmail.
Free plan includes 25 emails/month. No credit card required.
Works with Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Linear, and Trello

Why people switch from cloudHQ
Nothing in the catalog saves to Notion or Airtable
cloudHQ's save-to targets are Google Sheets, Docs, and Drive, plus storage like Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, Egnyte, and Amazon S3, and there's a Salesforce app. But if your work lives in a Notion database, an Airtable base, Linear, or Trello, nothing in the catalog puts email there. Quicktion treats those as first-class destinations with typed property mapping.
It's a Chrome extension, so it's tied to Gmail in a browser
cloudHQ's tools install into Gmail as browser extensions. Quicktion works that way too if you want it — there's a Gmail add-on — but the primary path is forwarding to your own address, which doesn't care what client or device the email came from. Outlook, Apple Mail, or a shared company inbox all work the same way.
Rows in a spreadsheet, not records with a schema
Export Emails to Sheets is built around exporting and backing up: get the messages out of Gmail and into a sheet. Quicktion is built around mapping — it reads the schema of the destination you picked and drops sender, subject, date, body, and attachments into the properties you already defined.
Paid plans start higher, and annually
cloudHQ's paid plans start at $149/year for a single user, with Business at $399/year for three. Quicktion is $12/month, or $120/year, and the free plan is permanent rather than a 15-day trial.
Attention is spread across dozens of apps
cloudHQ ships PDF converters, email templates, trackers, schedulers, and a lot more. That breadth is genuinely useful if you want a toolbox. It also means email-to-spreadsheet is one product among many. Quicktion does one job.
When cloudHQ is the better choice
cloudHQ is the better choice if your destination is Google Drive, Docs, or cloud storage rather than a database, or if you need to archive an entire mailbox rather than route selected emails. It also has a much wider toolbox — PDF conversion, templates, bulk forwarding — and a long track record, with the company citing more than 3,000 organizations. If you want one vendor for a pile of Gmail utilities, that's a real argument.
When Quicktion is the better choice
Quicktion is the better choice if the email needs to become a structured record: a Notion page, an Airtable row, a Linear issue, a Trello card, or a Sheets row with the fields mapped to your columns. It's also the option that works when the mail isn't in Gmail, since forwarding covers Outlook, Apple Mail, and shared inboxes without installing anything.
How to switch from cloudHQ
Migration takes about 5 minutes.
Sign up for Quicktion
Create a free account at quicktion.io. 25 emails/month, no credit card.
Connect your destination
OAuth into Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Linear, or Trello.
Point at your existing sheet, or a database
If you're staying on Sheets, pick the spreadsheet cloudHQ was filling. Quicktion reads its columns and maps email fields to them.
Replace the extension with a forwarding rule
Add a filter in Gmail (or Outlook) that auto-forwards matching mail to your Quicktion address. Or install the Gmail add-on if you'd rather click to save.
Keep cloudHQ for what it's still good at
No need to cancel if you use their PDF or template tools. The two don't conflict.
