Mailshake review

Mailshake is the cheapest way into cold email on this list. Starter costs $29 a month, or $25 a month on yearly billing, and includes unlimited uploaded contacts, unlimited warmup, unlimited email verification, unlimited campaigns, A/B testing and AI writing with SHAKESpeare. The limit is volume: Starter connects 1 email address and sends 1,500 emails a month. Email Outreach at $49 is the more realistic plan for cold email, with 2 email addresses, unlimited sends, email rotation, advanced scheduling and throttling, a unified inbox, Salesforce, Pipedrive and HubSpot integrations and 1,000+ more via Zapier. Sales Engagement at $99 adds 10 email addresses, 5 phone numbers and a power dialer with unlimited free minutes to North American numbers. Add-ons cover Data Finder for contacts and ready-to-use mailboxes that switch senders automatically if one has trouble. Mailshake fits low-volume senders, but teams rotating many mailboxes will outgrow it fast.
