Best for inbox placement for B2B email senders
Folderly is a set of deliverability products: sender reputation upkeep and placement monitoring per mailbox, placement tests, and alerts. It is priced per mailbox, from $96 a month at the smallest size, with a minimum commitment. DMARC is a pilot and Mirror is in beta.
Who Folderly is for
- Fits if you send B2B email from a handful of mailboxes and care where it lands
- Works for teams on Google Workspace or Outlook
Who Folderly is not for
- Pricey if you run many mailboxes: it's charged per mailbox, from $96
- Tight if you stay free: 2 placement tests a month
- Watch out: DMARC is a pilot and Mirror is in beta, so availability may be limited
- Not for you if you want a warm-up service, as the page says it isn't one

Your call
You could make the core of Folderly for yourself: reports.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $948 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Reading the reports inbox providers send about your domain.
- It plugs into other products, Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook and SendGrid among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Folderly’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
