How we grade them
| 1.8GPAMailshakeWeak | 2.4GPAManyReachFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter's 1,500 sends and one address per person won't carry a sales team, so five people need Email Outreach: $45 a user billed yearly, $45 a head. That's above the category's $40 middle, while most email rivals here charge one price for the whole team. | 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 | FNothing free. There's no free plan and no trial, and Mailshake says it takes payment up front. You can cancel before renewal, but that isn't a trial. | C250 free credits to start, which is a small taste. The paid plans list a trial but its length is not given. |
| Features | CEmail sequences with follow-ups, A/B tests, spintax, warm-up and unlimited verification, plus a power dialer on Sales Engagement. The gaps: no LinkedIn steps on record, and rotation and the unified inbox need Email Outreach. | 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. It sends from Gmail, Office 365 or any SMTP mailbox and the AI writer drafts copy, but you still connect accounts and set up your domain before the first send. | CNo store rating on record. You buy domains and mailboxes, set up DNS and connect accounts before you send. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a browser extension, with Salesforce, Pipedrive, HubSpot and Zapier on Email Outreach and above. No phone or desktop app on record. | BWeb only, with Zapier, Make, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. |

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.
