Mailshake is the cheapest way into sequenced outreach on this list. Starter costs $25 a month billed yearly or $29 monthly, with one email address, 1,500 sends a month, unlimited uploaded contacts, unlimited warmup and verification, automated sequences, A/B testing and AI writing through SHAKEspeare. Email Outreach at $45 yearly removes the send limit and adds email rotation, a unified inbox, Salesforce, Pipedrive and HubSpot integrations and 1,000+ more through Zapier. Sales Engagement at $85 yearly adds 5 phone numbers, a power dialer with unlimited free minutes to North American numbers, phone scripts and lead temperature. There is no free trial, so you pay before you test, which is a real drawback next to Apollo.io's free plan or Reply.io's 14-day trial. The tool is simple to learn, but it has no prospect database beyond 50 data finder credits and no forecasting.

Small teams starting a cold email program on a tight budget.
