Instantly AirMail vs Outreach2day mailboxes in Instantly: $4 at 20 a day or $1.50 at 25

Keep Instantly either way: the question is where the sending accounts come from. AirMail accounts are $4 a month, send at most 20 campaign emails a day and exist only inside Instantly. Outreach2day mailboxes sync into the same workspace by API key, send 25 a day from day 14 and cost $2.50, $1.50 from 100 and $0.50 from 1,000. At 2,500 cold emails a day with the same Hypergrowth plan: $628.25 a month with AirMail, $268.67 with ours, $171.67 if our sequencer replaces the plan.

The same Instantly plan, a different account line

Both setups pay Instantly for the Outbound plan the volume needs, so the plan cancels out. AirMail adds $4 an account and $15 a domain a year for every 5 accounts. Outreach2day adds $1.50 a mailbox from 100 ($0.50 from 1,000) and .com domains at $13 a year for every 5 mailboxes; warmup runs on our side and in Instantly's pool.

2,500 a day: 125 AirMail accounts ($500 + $31.25 domains) against 100 of ours ($150 + $21.67). 25,000 a day: 1,250 AirMail accounts ($5,000 + $312.50) against 1,000 of ours ($500 + $216.67). The table below adds the Instantly plan to both and shows Outreach2day all-in, where our sequencer replaces it.

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.

Where they differ

What each account is

AirMail: private SMTP on Instantly's servers and IPs, in pods grouped by sending pattern, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set for you and Instantly's premium warmup pool included. No login page, no export, and mail to gmail.com, outlook.com or yahoo.com addresses is dropped. Instantly releases 5,000 AirMail accounts a week.

Outreach2day: SMTP/IMAP mailboxes on your own domains with warmup for the life of the mailbox, synced into Instantly by API key and reconnected if they drop. The same mailboxes send from our own sequencer or any tool that takes SMTP/IMAP. Our mailboxes run on our own infrastructure and land in the inbox.

Terms and lock-in

AirMail: bought inside Instantly, paused without an Outbound plan, all fees non-refundable under Instantly's terms, cancellation takes effect at once. Instantly does not publish whether AirMail domains can be transferred; for its done-for-you Google accounts it keeps the domains and admin access.

Outreach2day: month to month, cancel any time, 12-mailbox minimum ($30 a month), domains registered to you or your own. Details: Instantly AirMail review, Instantly DFY accounts vs your own mailboxes.

Why Outreach2day

We make Outreach2day, so this page is ours. Every Instantly AirMail fact above links Instantly AirMail's own page.

Outreach2day mailboxes are $2.50 a mailbox up to 99, $1.50 from 100, $0.50 from 1,000, with warmup, the sequencer and the replies inbox included at every tier. For larger volumes and better prices there is the Enterprise plan: book a call and we size it with you.
