Cost at 10 and 100 mailboxes

10 mailboxes, monthly: Zapmail Starter is $39. InboxKit is $30 for the mailboxes and $60 with Isolated Warmup on all of them.

100 mailboxes, monthly: Zapmail Pro is $299. InboxKit is $300, or $600 with warm-up. On yearly billing, Zapmail Pro is $250 a month and InboxKit $250 for mailboxes plus $300 for warm-up.

Below 10 mailboxes InboxKit is the only option of the two, and each mailbox renews on its own date.

Where they differ

Plans or a wallet

Zapmail bills plans with included mailboxes and extra slots at $3.50, $3.25 or $3.00; unused slots do not roll over. InboxKit has no plans: you top up a wallet and each mailbox draws its own renewal.

The wallet is flexible and unforgiving: top-ups are non-refundable and the balance is lost if you close the account.

Microsoft options

Both sell Microsoft 365 at the Google price. InboxKit also sells Azure-tenant Microsoft mailboxes at $30 a month for up to 100, the cheapest Microsoft line we found, though its pages disagree on whether the $30 is per tenant or per domain.

Automation

InboxKit's REST API with webhooks comes with every mailbox. Zapmail lists API access on Pro and adds a hosted MCP server with 134 tools, so an assistant like Claude can run orders end to end.

Refunds

Zapmail refunds duplicate charges and setups missed by 7 business days. InboxKit makes discretionary exceptions for duplicate billing, non-delivery and outages over 72 hours, and credits late deliveries.

Which one to pick

Pick Zapmail if

  • You want warm-up without a second line per mailbox
  • You buy 10, 30 or 100 at a time
  • You want an MCP server for an AI assistant

Pick InboxKit if

  • You need 1 to 9 mailboxes, or irregular counts
  • You want Azure-tenant Microsoft mailboxes
  • You will warm up in your sequencer and skip the add-on

Where Outreach2day fits

We sell cold email mailboxes too, so this section is ours. The comparison above does not rank us.

Our $2.50 is the monthly price and includes warm-up and a sending engine, so at 100 mailboxes the bill is $250 with nothing to add. The mailboxes are SMTP/IMAP; if Google or Microsoft accounts are a requirement, pick between Zapmail and InboxKit above.

From 1,000 mailboxes Outreach2day quotes a volume price below the per-mailbox list price of every vendor in our comparisons, including Maildoso's $0.49, with warm-up and sending in the price. Book a call and we quote your volume.
