Mailin alternatives: mailboxes with warmup and sending included, and the inbox vendors next to Mailin
Mailin sells SMTP, Google and Microsoft accounts in monthly packs from $299 for 200, leaves warmup and sending to a sequencer you pay for, and refunds nothing after activation. Outreach2day is the alternative with mailboxes, warmup and a sequencer in one bill: $2.50 a mailbox, $1.50 from 100 and $0.50 from 1,000. We make Outreach2day and list it first; the other six follow with the same facts for each.

Why each one is a Mailin alternative
We make Outreach2day and list it first.
1. Outreach2day: mailboxes, warmup and the sequencer in one bill
SMTP/IMAP mailboxes on your domains with what Mailin leaves out included: warmup for the life of the mailbox and a sequencer with steps, schedules, stats and a reply inbox. Bought one by one from 12, month to month, so 120 mailboxes bill as 120. Our mailboxes run on our own infrastructure and land in the inbox. Keep Instantly or Smartlead if you like: they sync by API key, and EmailBison takes our CSV.
Per mailbox a month
from $0.50
1,000+ mailboxes
2. Maildoso: SMTP packs at 300 and 1,000
The closest pack model to Mailin's SMTP plans: 30 mailboxes for $75, 300 for $225 and 1,000 for $499, with an API and an MCP server. It caps cold sends at 15 a mailbox a day, so the same volume takes more mailboxes, and warmup is an outside tool.
Per mailbox a month
from $0.49
3. ScaledMail: managed SMTP, Google and Microsoft
Like Mailin, all three mailbox types from one vendor, with the team doing setup and monitoring and adding the accounts to your sequencer. Google is $3.50 a mailbox, Outlook $50 a domain of 25 and SMTP $3.75 a domain of 4; domain prices are not published.
Per mailbox a month
from $0.94
SMTP, $3.75 per domain of 4
4. Mailforge: shared-IP SMTP sold per slot
SMTP slots from $3 a month, falling to $2 with volume, with no pack to fill and the Forge MCP server. Mailforge mailboxes cannot be warmed in Instantly, so warmup and sending run in Warmforge and Salesforge, two more subscriptions.
Per mailbox a month
from $2
monthly, above 1,000 add-on slots
5. Zapmail: Google and Microsoft with warmup handled
If you were weighing Mailin's Google tab: Zapmail sells Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 at $39 for 10, $99 for 30 and $299 for 100, says warmup is handled for you and documents an MCP server. No refunds either.

from $2.99
Pro, monthly
6. InboxKit: no minimum and webhooks
Google or Microsoft from a single mailbox at $3 a month, paid from a wallet, with a REST API and webhooks next to Mailin's. Warmup is a $3 add-on and wallet top-ups are not refunded; Mailin's API can import InboxKit domains.
Per mailbox a month
from $3
7. Premium Inboxes: Google and Microsoft built and uploaded for you
A Google and Microsoft reseller at $3.50 an inbox under 250, $3.00 to 1,249 and $2.80 above, that uploads the inboxes to your sequencer. Warmup starts in the sequencer; no refunds.

Compared at the same emails a day, each vendor at its own published emails per mailbox a day: a cheap mailbox that sends 5 a day costs more per email than one that sends 25. Every option at 2,500 a day · 55,000 a month (22 sending days). Mailin and its alternatives at the same mailbox count. Mailboxes = emails a day ÷ each vendor's emails per mailbox a day; monthly list prices on monthly billing, with the cheapest plan of the sequencer named in each row that covers the volume (Instantly unless the vendor's mailboxes need another; both include warmup). Domains at each vendor's published price spread over 12 months; "from" means a domain price is not published. 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: 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.

At the same 2,500 cold emails a day, each vendor at its own emails per mailbox a day: Mailin publishes no SMTP limit, so it is counted at 25, the same as ours. 100 accounts bill as the $299 Solopreneur pack, and Instantly Hypergrowth adds $97 for sending and warmup: from $396 a month before domains, whose price Mailin does not publish.
Outreach2day sends the same 2,500 a day from 100 mailboxes for $171.67 with domains, warmup and the sequencer, or $268.67 if you keep Instantly and only buy the mailboxes from us. Every Mailin plan and term is in the Mailin review.

Switching
Moving from Mailin to Outreach2day
Keep your sequencer
Connect Instantly or Smartlead in Outreach2day with an API key and the warm mailboxes are added to your account; other tools take a CSV in their import format, or SMTP/IMAP logins. How the export works
Or move the campaigns
Our sequencer runs campaigns with steps, a send schedule, stop on reply and one inbox for replies; import the contacts as a CSV and recreate the steps. The mailbox price stays $2.50.
Warmup and the overlap
New mailboxes warm for 14 days before cold email, and warmup keeps running after that. Keep the Mailin mailboxes sending during those two weeks, then shift the volume and cancel Mailin for the end of its billing period.
Mailin plans renew automatically and payments are final, so cancel before the next billing date once the new mailboxes are warm. Domains transferred into Mailin can be pointed at the new provider.

Choosing
Why Mailin buyers look for an alternative
The reasons on Mailin's own pages: packs that bill 200, 500 or 1,000 accounts whatever you use, warmup and sending that need a second subscription, a terms page that makes every payment final, and no legal entity or address named anywhere on the site.
Price per account is rarely the problem: the SMTP packs work out at $1.50 an account and $1 past 1,000. Count the whole bill instead. At 25,000 cold emails a day 1,000 Mailin accounts plus Instantly are from $2,201 a month before domains; Outreach2day is $716.67 with domains, warmup and the sequencer included. The Outreach2day vs Mailin page sets the two side by side.
Moving off Mailin
Order the new mailboxes 14 days before you stop Mailin, so warmup finishes while the old accounts still send. On Outreach2day warmup is already running when the mailboxes appear, and each sends the full 25 cold emails a day from day 14.
If you keep Instantly or Smartlead, connect the new mailboxes by API key and pause the Mailin accounts campaign by campaign. Then cancel the Mailin plan in the account page before it renews.

FAQ
Mailin alternatives: questions
What is the best Mailin alternative?
Outreach2day if you want mailboxes with warmup and a sequencer in one subscription: $2.50 a mailbox, $1.50 from 100 and $0.50 from 1,000. Maildoso for SMTP packs of 300 or 1,000, ScaledMail for managed SMTP, Google and Microsoft, Mailforge for SMTP slots, Zapmail and InboxKit for Google and Microsoft accounts.
Which Mailin alternatives include warmup?
Outreach2day includes it for every mailbox for as long as you keep it, and Zapmail says it handles warmup. Maildoso, ScaledMail and Premium Inboxes leave it to your sequencer or an outside tool; InboxKit sells it as a $3 add-on and Mailforge as Warmforge.
Is there a Mailin alternative without packs?
Yes. Outreach2day, InboxKit and Mailforge bill per mailbox, so 120 mailboxes cost 120 mailboxes. Mailin, Maildoso and Zapmail sell fixed packs.
Is there a Mailin alternative with refunds?
Few vendors in this market refund. Outreach2day bills month to month with no yearly plan needed, so you can stop at the end of any month; Maildoso has a 30-day guarantee limited to outages it causes.
