Which one is for you
Pick Instantly if
- Fits if you send from lots of mailboxes and don't want to pay per inbox or per seat
- Works for teams that want warm-up included rather than bought per mailbox
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want LinkedIn steps in the same sequence, as Instantly is email only
- Tight if you stay on Growth, with 1,000 contacts in total, a read-only inbox and no webhooks
- Pricey if you need lead data too, since credits start at $9 a month for 150, and on Growth the CRM is only a 14-day trial
- Watch out: the contact limit is a running total, not monthly, and 25,000 more cost $87 a month
- Watch out: there's no free plan, and the trial stops at 250 contacts and 1,000 emails
Pick ManyReach if
- Fits if you run many mailboxes and want no seat or lead limits
- Works for agencies that want to pay per email sent
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want mailboxes, domains and a private IP, as those are $4 a month, $15 a year and $10 a month each
- Skip it if you want a real free trial, because you get 250 credits and the trial length is not stated
- Tight if you rely on monthly credits, since only pay-as-you-go credits stay valid and plan credits renew
- Watch out: email verification runs on data tokens, a paid add-on, and Scale has no published price
How we grade them
| 2.6GPAInstantlyGood | 2.4GPAManyReachFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AA team of five needs Hypergrowth, since Growth's 1,000-contact total and read-only inbox won't stretch that far: $85.58 a month billed yearly for everyone, about $17.12 a head, with the CRM included. That's under 60% of the cheaper quarter's $34 in this category. | CBusiness is $79 a month for 150,000 credits, above the category's $64 dearer-quarter line. Pay as you go starts at $99 for 10,000 credits. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with no card. It stops at 250 uploaded contacts and 1,000 emails, which is enough to warm up and send a small first campaign, and not much more. | C250 free credits to start, which is a small taste. The paid plans list a trial but its length is not given. |
| Features | CThe email side is complete: unlimited inboxes and warm-up, multi-step campaigns, A/Z tests, one inbox for replies and automations. But there are no LinkedIn steps at all, and lead search and the AI agents need a separate credits plan from $9 a month. | BSequences, testing, warm-up and a unified inbox, with no cap on senders, leads or seats. The data it needs for verification is a paid add-on. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. You'll be connecting mailboxes and waiting on warm-up before the first real send, and actually replying from the Unibox needs Hypergrowth. | CNo store rating on record. You buy domains and mailboxes, set up DNS and connect accounts before you send. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, but with HubSpot, Slack, Zapier, Findymail, RB2B and ChatGPT links, webhooks from Hypergrowth and a public API. No phone or desktop app on record. | BWeb only, with Zapier, Make, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. |
| Best for | cold email from as many inboxes as you like | cold email with unlimited mailboxes and seats |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
