Best for multichannel sales sequences for teams
Outplay runs email, call, LinkedIn and SMS sequences from one workspace. The free plan is manual email only, with 2 mailboxes and 2,000 active prospects. Starter is a single seat at $39, extra seats need Growth at $89 a user, and LinkedIn automation is a paid add-on with no price shown.
Who Outplay is for
- Fits if a sales team wants calls, email and LinkedIn in one tool
- Works for a solo seller starting on the free plan
Who Outplay is not for
- Tight if you stay free: manual email only, 2 mailboxes
- Pricey if you want phone, SMS or social, which start at Growth, $89 a user
- Watch out: LinkedIn automation is an add-on and its price isn't shown
- Not for you if you want a second seat on Starter, which is single-seat

Keep Outplay, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Outplay 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 costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Outplay’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.
