Instantly alternatives: 11 options, from other sequencers to done-for-you mailboxes
Instantly alternatives come in two kinds. Other sequencers replace Instantly itself: each is priced below as a full setup with mailboxes and domains, and at 5,000 cold emails a day Instantly comes to $537 a month with our mailboxes or $1,244 with its own done-for-you accounts. Mailbox vendors replace only Instantly's $5 Google, $10 pre-warmed and $4 AirMail accounts, which Instantly keeps the domains of and which work only inside it; at 100 mailboxes that saves $457 a month. Outreach2day is first in both lists: a sequencer with $2.50 mailboxes and warmup, whose mailboxes also sync into Instantly. We make it.
- Warmup and sending included

25 cold emails per mailbox a day and 5 mailboxes per domain: 25,000 a day = 1,000 mailboxes and 200 domains; 50,000 a day = 2,000 mailboxes and 400 domains; 100,000 a day = 4,000 mailboxes and 800 domains; 250,000 a day = 10,000 mailboxes and 2,000 domains; 500,000 a day = 20,000 mailboxes and 4,000 domains; 1,000,000 a day = 40,000 mailboxes and 8,000 domains. A month is 22 sending days, so emails a month = emails a day × 22. Each tool at the published plan that covers the volume; where the vendor publishes no price at that size (a top plan that stops below it, or "contact sales"), the cell says so and the chart leaves it out. Domains at $13 a year, spread over 12 months, are in every total.

Why us
Why Outreach2day tops this list
The domains are yours
Instantly's help center says it retains domain ownership and admin access of done-for-you purchases and can't transfer them. Domains bought in our app are registered with your details.
A lower price per mailbox
$2.50 against $5 for a done-for-you Google account, and $1.50 from 100. Keep the Instantly plan if you like it: at 100 mailboxes the mailbox line drops from $500 to $150 a month.
Mailboxes that leave with you
Ours sync to Instantly and Smartlead by API key and export as CSV to 14 tools. Instantly's done-for-you accounts can't be used anywhere else.
Instantly sells Google accounts, a lead database and a CRM in the same tool. Ours are SMTP/IMAP mailboxes that sync into it.
Cost

How we count: every vendor at the same emails a day, each at its own published emails per mailbox a day (ours 25, Premium Inboxes 15, Maildoso 15, Mailforge 30, InboxKit 40), so a cheap mailbox that sends fewer emails needs more mailboxes. A month is 22 sending days, so emails a month = emails a day × 22. List prices on monthly billing, in USD, excluding domains, taxes and discounts. A mailbox-only vendor cannot send campaigns on its own, so its total is the full sending setup: its mailboxes, domains and the sequencer plan that covers the volume. Instantly is the reference sequencer, on its published plans for the emails and new contacts a month (emails ÷ 3); Smartlead where Instantly publishes no plan; Mailforge with Salesforge, because its mailboxes cannot be warmed in Instantly. The mailbox line is listed on its own in every cell.Outreach2day on comparison pages: $2.50 a mailbox up to 99, $1.50 from 100, $0.50 from 1,000.

Outreach2day: 25 cold emails per mailbox a day, 5 mailboxes per domain, .com domains at $13 a year (1,000 mailboxes and 200 domains at 25,000 a day; 40,000 and 8,000 at 1,000,000). Instantly and Smartlead with the accounts they sell, at the published plan for the volume; mailbox vendors at their own emails-per-mailbox limit with their domains and the Instantly (Mailforge: Salesforge) plan for the volume. A month is 22 sending days, so emails a month = emails a day × 22. Where a vendor publishes no price at that size the cell says so and the chart leaves it out. At this size the main table's flat $2.50 a Maildoso mailbox gives way to its published packs.

The details
Replace the accounts or replace Instantly as well
List the campaigns that depend on done-for-you, pre-warmed or AirMail accounts before buying a replacement. Keeping Instantly means its sending-plan bill stays, even if the account supplier changes. Compare the mailbox invoice on that basis and check that the replacement can connect to your existing workspace.
Leaving the sequencer as well requires a second handover: campaign steps, remaining contacts, replies and opt-outs must reach the new sender. Preserve the do-not-contact list so a cancelled address does not cause an old contact to enter a fresh sequence. Use new sending domains because the done-for-you domains cannot transfer, and let the replacement accounts finish their own warmup. Cancel the old accounts after live conversations and scheduled campaigns have an owner in the new setup.
What Instantly's accounts cost, and what replaces them
See Instantly pricing 2026 for its plans and account types, or Outreach2day vs Instantly for the full product comparison.
AirMail on its own, with its 20-a-day cap and the full cost at 2,500 to 25,000 emails a day: Instantly AirMail review and Instantly AirMail vs Outreach2day.
Two more sequencers against Instantly: Saleshandy vs Instantly and Reply.io vs Instantly, with the full monthly cost at 1,000 to 10,000 emails a day.
Instantly's accounts: $5 a month for a done-for-you Google account, $10 pre-warmed, $4 AirMail, with domains at $15 a year and at most 5 accounts per domain. The Outreach plan is separate: Hypergrowth at $107 covers 100 mailboxes sending 25 a day.
Keeping Hypergrowth and replacing only the accounts at 100 mailboxes: $500 of done-for-you accounts becomes $150 with ours, $299 with Zapmail Pro or $300 with InboxKit. Pre-warmed accounts at $10 would be $1,000.
Full setup with Instantly's own accounts: $232 at 25 mailboxes, $607 at 100, $2,194 at 400. With ours and our sequencer: $62.50, $150, $600.
Pre-warmed accounts against warming your own
Instantly's pre-warmed accounts send within minutes of purchase but start at 5 emails a day per account and are capped at 20–25. They cost $5 a month more than a done-for-you account for as long as you keep them.
Our mailboxes are ready within 24 hours and warm up for 14 days before the first cold email; they send up to 25 a day from day 14. If you can wait two weeks, the difference at 100 mailboxes is $1,000 against $150 a month.
Need to send this week instead? Our pre-warmed email accounts are SMTP mailboxes warmed before delivery.
Who owns what when you cancel
Instantly's done-for-you and pre-warmed accounts: Instantly keeps the domains and admin access. Cancelling pre-warmed accounts takes effect immediately, and access to the Gmail mailbox ends shortly after. Replies still in those mailboxes go with them.
Outreach2day: domains bought in the app are registered for a year with your details, and support moves them to your own Namecheap account on request. Cancelled mailboxes are deleted and can't be restored, so move campaigns first. There is no charge after the paid month.
Zapmail and InboxKit: their pages say domains bought through them are yours. Maildoso keeps domains registered with itself while it services them and transfers them out for free on request.

Switching
Moving off Instantly's done-for-you accounts
Create mailboxes in Outreach2day on new domains. The done-for-you domains stay with Instantly, so start with fresh ones.
Warmup starts on its own. Send no cold email from the new mailboxes for the first 14 days.
Connect Instantly with an API key; the mailboxes appear in your Instantly workspace.
Move campaigns to the new mailboxes on day 14, when they reach 25 a day.
Cancel the done-for-you accounts last. Cancelling pre-warmed accounts takes effect at once and access to the mailbox ends soon after, so move replies first.
FAQ
Instantly alternatives: questions
What is better than Instantly?
It depends on why you are leaving. For one bill with mailboxes, warmup and the sequencer, Outreach2day: $343 a month at 5,000 cold emails a day against $537 for Instantly with the same mailboxes. For the same model with a refund window, Smartlead; for LinkedIn and calls, lemlist; for a lower plan price up to 150,000 emails, PlusVibe.

Can I use my own mailboxes in Instantly instead of done-for-you accounts?
Yes. Every Instantly Outreach plan allows unlimited email accounts. Outreach2day mailboxes are added to your Instantly workspace by API key.
Can I take Instantly's done-for-you domains with me?
No. Instantly's help center says it retains domain ownership and admin access and can't transfer them, and the accounts work only inside Instantly. Start on new domains.
What is the cheapest alternative to Instantly's done-for-you accounts?
Outreach2day at $2.50 per mailbox, against $5. At 100 mailboxes with our sequencer, $150 a month; with Instantly Hypergrowth kept as the sender, $257.
Are there alternatives that sell Google accounts like Instantly?
Zapmail, InboxKit and Premium Inboxes sell Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailboxes, and the domains are yours. Outreach2day sells SMTP/IMAP mailboxes.
Is this the same as Outreach2day vs Instantly?
No. This page lists other sequencers and other mailbox vendors. The side-by-side of the two products, sending included, is at Outreach2day vs Instantly.
