How this page was made. Every figure was read from each vendor's own pages on 19 September 2026 and is linked at the bottom. emailcampaign.ai is the third column and the publisher of this page; where Instantly or Saleshandy is the better choice, the page says so. Prices change; check the linked pages before buying.
Instantly and Saleshandy look alike on the pricing page: a plan by contacts and emails, unlimited email accounts, warm-up included, and an add-on that sells you mailboxes. The differences are in the add-on. Instantly sells pre-warmed Google accounts at $10 each and keeps the domains; Saleshandy sells Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Azure mailboxes at $2.99 to $3.99 with DNS and a tracking domain pre-set. Most of what follows comes from that.

| Reviews | G2 4.8 from 4,134; Trustpilot score withheld, 1,165 reviews with 25 percent one-star | G2 4.6 from 773; Capterra 4.5 from 126 | New listing; reviews being gathered |

| Watch out for | Provisioned domains stay owned by Instantly; reviews report features behind paywalls that only appear after purchase and pre-warmed domains arriving with poor reputation | Reviews mention charges after cancellation, marketing about daily caps, and bugs after releases | The recommended 8 to 10 sends a day per mailbox means volume comes from fleet size; if you want 100 a day from one mailbox, nothing here will let you |
Where Instantly is stronger
Scale and ecosystem. 4,134 G2 reviews at 4.8, the largest template library, a community, and a separate Inbox Placement product with 25 free credits; Saleshandy has no placement test.
Pre-warmed supply. If you need accounts that can send this week, Instantly's pre-warmed Google accounts come with DNS configured, in batches of five.
White-label lower down. A client portal with your domain and logo from the Hypergrowth plan at $77.60 a month; Saleshandy's white-label starts on the Scale plan at $149.
Where Saleshandy is stronger
Mailbox price and choice. $2.99 to $3.99 a mailbox a month plus $14 a domain a year, across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Azure, each pre-set with SPF, DKIM, DMARC and a tracking domain. Instantly's add-on is Google only at $10.
Entry price. $34 a month billed annually for 2,000 prospects and 6,000 emails, against Instantly's $37.60 for 1,000 contacts and 5,000 emails.
Calmer reviews. G2 4.6 from 773 and Capterra 4.5 from 126; the complaints are charges after cancellation, marketing about daily caps and bugs after releases, without the paywall theme that runs through Instantly's one-star Trustpilot reviews.
Where emailcampaign.ai fits
emailcampaign.ai does what Saleshandy's add-on does, one layer deeper: it creates the Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 tenant and mailboxes under your own ownership at the provider's seat price plus a $5 setup, writes and confirms the DNS before anything goes live, warms the mailboxes and holds each at 8 to 10 cold emails a day. Agencies get a complete client-branded webmail and admin console rather than a logo on a dashboard. Unlimited mailboxes and warm-up from $39 a month, with a free trial. It has few reviews yet.
Decide by the question you are asking
- “Cheapest working mailboxes from the same vendor as the sequencer.” Saleshandy.
- “The biggest community and a placement-test product.” Instantly.
- “Ownership of the domains and accounts matters.” emailcampaign.ai; ask Saleshandy who holds the registration before buying, and know that Instantly keeps it.
- “Microsoft 365 mailboxes.” Saleshandy or emailcampaign.ai; not Instantly.
- “White-label for a small agency.” Instantly from $77.60, Saleshandy from $149, emailcampaign.ai included with a full client door.

Questions, answered straight
- Which is cheaper at ten mailboxes?
- Software: Saleshandy $34 against Instantly $37.60 a month annual, both with unlimited accounts. Mailboxes: Saleshandy $29.90 to $39.90 for ten against Instantly $100 for ten pre-warmed Google accounts, before domains. emailcampaign.ai charges Google's $8.40 a seat plus a $5 one-time setup, so $84 a month, with the accounts in your own tenant.
- Do both include warm-up?
- Yes. Instantly's is its own and unlimited; Saleshandy's runs through its partner TrulyInbox and is unlimited too. Neither publishes placement numbers; Instantly sells a placement test, Saleshandy does not.
- Who owns the domains?
- Instantly states that it retains ownership and administrator access on provisioned domains. Saleshandy's pages do not say either way; ask before you buy. emailcampaign.ai registers domains and creates tenants in your name.
