## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Emelia you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 61 of the 81 other cold outreach tools we grade. It costs $372 a year.

- You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- You could not: A network of real inboxes that open and answer your emails.
- You could not: One mailbox that several people work at once.
- You could not: Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Sales Navigator and LinkedIn among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
