How we grade them
| 1.8GPAMailshakeWeak | 2.8GPASaleshandyGood | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | AStarter is one user, so five people need Pro: $76 a month billed yearly for up to 10 users, about $15.20 a head. That's under 60% of the cheaper quarter's $32.50, and it includes 4,000 Lead Finder credits a month. |
| 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. | CNo free plan. The 7-day trial needs no card but caps sending at 100 emails, so it's a look around rather than a real campaign. |
| 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. | BThe whole job: unlimited mailboxes with warm-up and rotation, sequences mixing email with call, LinkedIn and WhatsApp steps, subsequences that start on a prospect's response, AI writing, A-Z tests, a shared inbox and an 852M-contact Lead Finder. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. Quick enough to start, since 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. | CNo App Store rating on record. Mailboxes to connect and warm up, and sequences and subsequences to build, so there's a learning curve, though the AI can draft a sequence for you. |
| 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 Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Zapier, Make, n8n and Claude, plus webhooks from Pro. No phone or desktop app on record. |
| Best for | simple per-user cold email, with a dialer | cold email with lead data on the same bill |
