Every tier: Saleshandy pricing and Apollo pricing.
With Saleshandy's own done-for-you mailboxes the 5,000-a-day setup is $1,034. Apollo prices its mailboxes in credits (800 a month for a Google one) and publishes no price per credit, so there is no dollar figure to set against it.
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.

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 each plan at scale
- Saleshandy at 25,000 a day: Scale 600K. 550,000 emails are above the 300K tier; active prospects up to twice the sending limit, and Scale rotates across 1,000 accounts per sequence source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
- Saleshandy from 50,000 a day: Scale tiers stop at 600,000 emails a month; above it Saleshandy lists "Custom Unlimited, Contact Sales". source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
- Apollo at 25,000 a day: Organization, 67 seats. 1,000 SMTP mailboxes at 15 per user need 67 seats ($119 each, billed annually) source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
- Apollo at 50,000 a day: Organization, 134 seats. 2,000 SMTP mailboxes at 15 per user need 134 seats ($119 each, billed annually) source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
- Apollo at 100,000 a day: Organization, 267 seats. 4,000 SMTP mailboxes at 15 per user need 267 seats ($119 each, billed annually) source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
- Apollo from 250,000 a day: Above 100,000 a day the price would only be a multiplication of seats (667 or more); Apollo sends teams needing custom volumes to sales. source (opens the vendor's page in a new tab)
Where they differ
Lead data on both
Saleshandy's Lead Finder lists 852M+ contacts with waterfall enrichment: a verified email costs 1 credit and a phone number 6, with 1,500 to 8,000 credits a month by plan. Apollo lists 240M+ contacts and 30M+ companies at 1 credit per email and 8 per phone, with 2,500 or 4,000 credits per seat a month.
Apollo's unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle. Saleshandy's refresh every month, and annual billing deposits the whole year upfront.
Mailboxes per seat or per sequence
Apollo limits mailboxes per seat: 1 on Basic, unlimited Google and Microsoft plus 5 IMAP/SMTP on Professional, 15 IMAP/SMTP on Organization. Saleshandy connects unlimited accounts on every plan and limits rotation per sequence to 10, 100 or 1,000 by plan.
Apollo's Free and Basic plans send at most 250 emails a day. Saleshandy recommends 15 emails per mailbox a day, with hard caps of 150 for Workspace and Office 365.
Warmup, refunds and trials
Saleshandy's warmup is unlimited on all plans through TrulyInbox. Apollo warms 1 mailbox per seat and charges 200 credits for each extra one every 30 days.
Saleshandy refunds within 10 days of the initial purchase, pro-rata if used; Apollo's payments are non-refundable. Trials: 7 days and 100 emails on Saleshandy, a one-time 14 days of Basic or Professional on Apollo, which also has a free plan.
Both run official MCP servers on all plans, Apollo's including Free. Apollo MCP sets Apollo's against ours.

Outreach2day
Where Outreach2day fits
Outreach2day is a third option: mailboxes, warmup and a sequencer in one subscription. It is ours, so it has its own section.
Outreach2day mailboxes export from the app as a CSV in Saleshandy's import format; for Apollo you rename the columns to its bulk-import template (Apollo and Outreach2day CSV workflows). Apollo links 15 of them per Organization seat; Saleshandy takes any number.
For email-only sending from lists you already have, Outreach2day all-in is $343 a month at 5,000 a day with mailboxes, warmup and our sequencer. Lead data is the reason to keep Saleshandy or Apollo: we sell none.
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.
