ScaledMail sells cold email mailboxes with the domains and DNS set up for you. It sends nothing itself, and each mailbox is limited to 25 emails a day on Google or 10 on Outlook and SMTP. - **Value for money: C.** $3.50 a mailbox a month on Google Workspace, so ten mailboxes cost $35, around the category's middle. Outlook is $50 a domain. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed, so you pay before you try it. - **Features: D.** Mailboxes, domains, DNS, IP rotation and monitoring. It needs a separate sequencer to send or warm up anything. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Domains, DNS and your sequencer have to be connected, even with the setup handled. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web dashboard and a Slack support channel, working with Smartlead, Instantly, EmailBison, Apollo, lemlist and PlusVibe.

You would give up 2 things, listed below, and little else. It costs $42 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: Reading the reports inbox providers send about your domain. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Smartlead, Instantly and EmailBison among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
