Smartlead review

Smartlead is aimed at the people who run cold email as infrastructure. All plans include unlimited email accounts at no extra cost, and the Base plan at $39 a month covers 2,000 contacts, 6,000 sends and 2,000 verified emails. Pro at $94 jumps to 30,000 contacts and 90,000 sends, and Smart and Prime remove the contact cap and include premium warmup. Around the core sequencer, Smartlead sells the pieces a high-volume sender usually buys elsewhere: SmartSenders sets up Google, Outlook or SMTP mailboxes from $3.99 to $9 a month each, SmartDelivery runs inbox placement tests from $49 a month, and SmartServers adds dedicated infrastructure, with three included on Prime. Agencies can white-label the platform at $29 a month per client workspace from the Pro plan. The vendor says every plan comes with a free trial and no card is required. The downside is that a full setup means adding up several add-ons.
