Good for
  • Solo founders starting cold email on a small budget
  • Teams of up to ten that want users included in a flat price
  • Finding verified leads and emailing them from one account
  • Sending cold email from many mailboxes without per-inbox fees
  • Agencies running high-volume campaigns for several clients
  • Finding leads and writing sequences with AI in the same tool that sends them
  • Small teams that want to pay only for the prospects they contact
  • Agencies managing client campaigns from one panel
  • Adding LinkedIn steps to cold email campaigns
Watch out for
  • Starter is a single user with 2,000 active prospects and 6,000 emails a month
  • CRM integrations and webhooks start on Pro
  • SSO and whitelabel are listed under the custom Enterprise tier
  • Growth caps sending at 5,000 emails and 1,000 uploaded contacts a month; going over a plan's volume means upgrading, not paying overage
  • Lead data and AI agents need a separate Instantly Credits subscription
  • Webhooks and full in-app Unibox replies start on Hypergrowth
  • Integrations, API, webhooks and MCP are a $20 a month add-on
  • Once the contacted-prospects limit is reached, campaigns stop emailing new prospects until you upgrade or the limit renews
  • A prospect added to 5 campaigns counts as 5 contacted prospects
