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.

Book a callWhere 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.
AirMail is convenient and priced for convenience: $4 an account that sends 20 a day, inside one tool, on top of the plan. Outreach2day mailboxes go into the same Instantly campaigns for $1.50 from 100 and $0.50 from 1,000, send 25 a day, and stay yours if you leave. Our mailboxes run on our own infrastructure and land in the inbox. Most people think only Google gets to the inbox and overpay for it.
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.

FAQ
Instantly AirMail vs Outreach2day: questions
Is Outreach2day cheaper than Instantly AirMail?
Yes at every volume in the table. With the same Instantly plan: $268.67 against $628.25 a month at 2,500 cold emails a day, $527.33 against $1,246.50 at 5,000, $1,422.67 against $6,018.50 at 25,000. Outreach2day all-in, with our sequencer in place of the plan: $171.67, $343.33 and $716.67.
Can I use Outreach2day mailboxes in Instantly?
Yes. Connect Instantly in Outreach2day with an API key: warm mailboxes are added to your Instantly workspace and reconnected if they drop. Warmup keeps running on our side.
Why does AirMail need more accounts for the same volume?
Instantly caps AirMail at 20 campaign emails per account a day. Outreach2day mailboxes send up to 25 from day 14, so 2,500 a day take 125 AirMail accounts or 100 of ours.
Can I move AirMail accounts out of Instantly?
No. AirMail has no login page or export; the accounts work only through the Instantly dashboard. Mailboxes on your own domains can move between tools.
