Mailshake
Cold email and phone outreach with an AI email writer, billed per user with set sending addresses per plan
What is Mailshake?
Mailshake is a sales engagement tool for cold email, with phone and social steps on its top plan. It sends automated sequences with A/B testing from Gmail, Office 365 and SMTP accounts, includes unlimited email warm-up and email verification on every plan, and writes copy with its SHAKEspeare AI email writer. Billing is per user, and each plan sets how many sending addresses an account gets: 1 on Starter, 2 on Email Outreach and 10 on Sales Engagement, which adds a power dialer and phone numbers.
