Recommended tools
One short list of the tools that fix what our checkers find, with a plain reason for each. Some are partner links: if you buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
How partner links work
Price at every sending volume, limits and which to pick.
Smartlead, Instantly and lemlist compared.
When built-in warm-up is enough, and when to pay for more.
Done-for-you inboxes: prices and how they compare.
Sponsored
Instantly
Connect as many inboxes as you like, rotate sending between them and warm them up automatically. The usual starting point for cold email.
Smartlead
Similar to Instantly, with unlimited inboxes and warm-up. Popular with agencies running campaigns for several clients.
lemlist
Cold email with personalised images, LinkedIn steps and a built-in lead database, for teams that want multichannel sequences.
Premium Inboxes
Google and Microsoft inboxes from $3.50 each, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up for you and loaded into your sending tool. You bring the domains.
Google Workspace
The inbox provider most cold emailers start with. Pair it with Microsoft 365 inboxes to spread your sending.
GlockApps
Sends your email to test inboxes at Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and others and shows whether it reached the inbox, spam or nowhere.
EasyDMARC
Turns DMARC reports into a readable dashboard, flags unknown senders and can flatten SPF to keep you under 10 lookups.
Emailable
Checks every address before you send, so bounces stay low and your inboxes stay healthy.
Bouncer
Email verification with a clear pay-as-you-go price. A good second opinion on catch-all addresses.
Hunter
Finds and verifies work email addresses from a name and company domain.
Snov.io
Lead finding, verification and simple outreach sequences in one place.
