## Ways to pay less

- **Lower monthly rate on annual billing** (Annual discount): Outplay's pricing page says annual billing gives a lower monthly rate than paying month to month; it does not state the percentage in the page text. Source: https://outplay.ai/pricing

## Key features

- **Multichannel sequences:** Sequences combine email, calls, LinkedIn steps and SMS, with triggers that move prospects between steps.
- **Centralized inbox:** Replies from all connected mailboxes land in one master inbox, available on every plan including Free.
- **AI writing tools:** An AI sequence writer, an AI mail writer and objection-handling and out-of-office detection; sequence limits rise by plan.
- **Built-in calling:** A built-in dialer with call recording is included from Starter, and a power dialer arrives with Enterprise.
- **Reporting and coaching:** Hot-lead identification, team performance reports and a leaderboard help managers see which reps and sequences work.
- **CRM and tool integrations:** Native connections to Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Slack, Zapier and others, plus Gmail and Outlook extensions.

## Good for

- Sales teams that want email, calls and LinkedIn in one tool
- Small teams that need a free single-user plan to start
- Managers who want call recording and rep-level reports

## Worth knowing

- Monthly prices are not shown on the default pricing view, only annual billing figures.
- Starter is a single seat; extra seats start at Growth, which is priced per user.
- LinkedIn automation appears as an add-on in the pricing FAQ and the feature table; the page does not give its price.
- The pricing page also has tabs for a Growth Bundle, a Lifetime Growth Suite and a Sales Dialer that are not covered here.

## Keep it, 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.

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