Instantly AirMail review: $4 inboxes that send 20 a day and live only inside Instantly
AirMail is Instantly's own SMTP inbox: $4 a month, at most 20 campaign emails a day, bought with $15 domains in the Instantly dashboard and used nowhere else. Warmup is in Instantly's premium pool, and the accounts pause without an Outbound plan. 2,500 cold emails a day take 125 AirMail inboxes and cost $628.25 a month with domains and Hypergrowth; 100 Outreach2day mailboxes send the same for $171.67 with warmup and our sequencer, or $268.67 inside the same Instantly plan.

Overview
What Instantly AirMail is
AirMail is Instantly's native sending infrastructure. Its help center calls it a private SMTP product: Instantly hosts the servers and IPs, groups customers into pods by sending pattern, and sets SPF, DKIM and DMARC on every domain. There is no AirMail login page or inbox outside Instantly; the accounts appear in the Email Accounts dashboard and send from Instantly campaigns.
It sits next to Instantly's two other account products: done-for-you Google accounts at $5 a month and pre-warmed Google accounts at $10. All three are bought with secondary .com or .org domains at $15 a year, up to 5 accounts per domain, and all three need an active Outbound plan after the 14-day trial.
Instantly pitches AirMail as an addition to Google and Outlook rather than a replacement. Its own best-practice answer is a 50/50 split between AirMail and Google inboxes, and AirMail drops any mail sent to personal addresses at gmail.com, outlook.com or yahoo.com.
Instantly's own SMTP inboxes on its servers and IPs, bought with domains inside Instantly and used only there; Instantly also sells done-for-you and pre-warmed Google accounts source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)

Add-ons and extra costs
- The AirMail subscription covers only the domains and accounts: an active Outbound plan is needed after the 14-day trial to keep them sending and warming source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
- Accounts bought from Instantly pause automatically when there is no active Outbound plan source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
- Domains $15 a year, .com and .org only; they renew while at least one account on them is active source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
- Availability is limited to 5,000 AirMail accounts a week, first come first served source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
The inbox is $4 a month, but the inbox alone cannot send. Instantly's plans overview says AirMail, done-for-you and pre-warmed subscriptions "only provide domains and email accounts"; the sending and the warmup come from an Outbound plan: Growth $47 for 5,000 emails, Hypergrowth $97 for 125,000, Light Speed $358 for 500,000, and $87 add-ons above that.
The 20-a-day cap sets the count. At 20 campaign emails per inbox a day, every 1,000 cold emails a day takes 50 AirMail inboxes and 10 domains: $200 in inboxes and $12.50 in domains a month before the plan. Every plan, add-on and account type is in Instantly AirMail pricing.
Instantly's terms make every fee non-refundable and non-cancellable, AirMail included. A cancelled AirMail account stops at once, and its Unibox conversations are deleted after 24 hours.

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. Mailboxes = emails a day ÷ emails per mailbox a day (Instantly AirMail: 20, the AirMail maximum; Outreach2day: 25). A month is 22 sending days, so emails a month = emails a day × 22. Monthly list prices on monthly billing; the Instantly plan is the cheapest one that covers the volume. Instantly AirMail domains at $15 a year, 5 mailboxes per domain; Outreach2day .com domains at $13 a year, 5 mailboxes per domain. Domains spread over 12 months. Outreach2day mailboxes on comparison pages: $2.50 a mailbox up to 99, $1.50 from 100, $0.50 from 1,000; larger volumes on the Enterprise plan. 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, full setup per 1,000 emails
- $3.12
- All in: $171.67 a month, sequencer and warmup included. Mailboxes alone: $1.50 ÷ (25 × 22) = $2.73

2,500 cold emails a day (125 Instantly AirMail mailboxes, 100 of ours), 22 sending days. Instantly AirMail sells mailboxes only, so its full setup adds the sequencer that sends them; every line is in the cost table.
- Outreach2dayOutreach2day: 25 a day
- Instantly AirMailInstantly AirMail: 20 a day
At 2,500 cold emails a day AirMail needs 125 inboxes ($500), 25 domains ($31.25 a month) and Hypergrowth ($97): $628.25, or $11.42 per 1,000 emails. 100 Outreach2day mailboxes in the same Instantly plan come to $268.67, and Outreach2day on its own to $171.67.
At 25,000 a day the gap is wider: 1,250 AirMail inboxes and 250 domains with Hypergrowth and 7 add-ons are $6,018.50 a month. 1,000 Outreach2day mailboxes are $0.50 each from 1,000: $1,422.67 inside Instantly, $716.67 all in.
What Instantly AirMail does well
- No separate vendor: inboxes appear in Instantly the moment they are bought
- Premium warmup pool with no extra invoice
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC set automatically on every domain
- One support team for the sequencer and the inboxes
Verdict
AirMail is the easy button for a team that will stay on Instantly: no second vendor, warmup handled, inboxes live in under a minute (Instantly still recommends 3 weeks of warmup). You pay for that with $4 inboxes capped at 20 a day, $15 domains, an Outbound plan on top, no export and no refunds.
Outreach2day mailboxes cost $2.50 a month, $1.50 from 100 and $0.50 from 1,000, send 25 cold emails a day from day 14 and include warmup. Keep Instantly and sync them in, or send from our sequencer and drop the plan. Our mailboxes run on our own infrastructure and land in the inbox.
At scale
From 25,000 to 1,000,000 cold emails a day
The same setups at larger daily volumes. A vendor without a published price at a size reads “Custom pricing (not published)” and has no bar.

Mailboxes = emails a day ÷ emails per mailbox a day (Instantly AirMail: 20; Outreach2day: 25). A month is 22 sending days, so emails a month = emails a day × 22. The Instantly plan is the published plan that covers the volume (its contacts and emails); where a vendor publishes no price at that size, the cell says so and the chart leaves it out. Domains at each vendor's published price spread over 12 months; Outreach2day .com domains at $13 a year, 5 mailboxes per domain, are in every total.

Switching
Moving from Instantly AirMail 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 Instantly AirMail mailboxes sending during those two weeks, then shift the volume and cancel Instantly AirMail for the end of its billing period.
Instantly cancels AirMail accounts at once and refunds nothing; their domains stay valid to a year from purchase. Order Outreach2day mailboxes 14 days ahead, sync them into the same Instantly workspace, move campaigns over, then cancel the AirMail accounts.

In detail
What 20 emails a day means for the bill
Most mailbox vendors plan 15 to 30 cold emails a day per inbox. AirMail's limit is a hard maximum of 20, set by Instantly, and the minimum wait time between sends is managed for you. To send more you add inboxes, and every 5 inboxes add a $15 domain.
Supply is metered too: Instantly releases 5,000 AirMail accounts a week across all customers, first come first served. A 1,250-inbox order for 25,000 cold emails a day is a quarter of a week's supply.
Lock-in: the inboxes stay in Instantly
AirMail has no login and no export. If you move to Smartlead, EmailBison or your own sender later, the inboxes and their warmup history stay behind. For its done-for-you Google accounts Instantly also keeps the domains and admin access. The AirMail setup flow buys its domains through Instantly too, and Instantly does not publish whether you can transfer them.
Mailboxes on your own domains move with you. Outreach2day mailboxes sync into Instantly by API key and keep warming on our side, so the same Instantly campaigns run on them; if you leave Instantly, they send from our sequencer or any tool that takes SMTP/IMAP. Steps: export mailboxes to Instantly.
