Short answer

Why teams pick Outreach2day over Smartlead

  1. Sending in the mailbox price

    2,500 cold emails a day with warmup and sending: $150 a month, against $544 for SmartSenders plus the Pro plan; $4,728 a year saved

  2. Mailboxes that move with you

    SmartSenders mailboxes can't be used outside Smartlead; ours sync to Smartlead or Instantly and export to 14 tools

  3. Monitoring in the price

    Smartlead's placement tests are a separate SmartDelivery plan from $49 a month; ours come with every mailbox, next to per-mailbox inbox, spam and bounce rates

Smartlead resells Google and Outlook mailboxes. Ours are SMTP/IMAP, and they sync to Smartlead if you keep it as your sender.

How we count: every vendor at the same emails a day, each at its own published emails per mailbox a day (ours 25, Premium Inboxes 15, Maildoso 15, Mailforge 30, InboxKit 40), so a cheap mailbox that sends fewer emails needs more mailboxes. A month is 22 sending days, so emails a month = emails a day × 22. List prices on monthly billing, in USD, excluding domains, taxes and discounts. 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 on comparison pages: $2.50 a mailbox up to 99, $1.50 from 100, $0.50 from 1,000.

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.

Where SmartSenders come from

SmartSenders are resold from partner providers: Google and Outlook through Zapmail, Outlook through InfraInbox, SMTP through Mailreef. The domains have a fixed 12-month term and the mailboxes stay inside Smartlead.

Domains bought in our app are registered to you, and the mailboxes sync to Smartlead, Instantly or 12 more tools by CSV.
