Where they pull apart

Cheap Sequencer

Stands out: Pricing is on sends alone, so adding 40 inboxes or a million contacts costs nothing extra, and it comes with its own remote MCP server so an AI agent can build lists and launch campaigns.

Watch out: The $9.99 Starter plan only works with Cheap Inboxes mailboxes; connecting your own Google or Microsoft inboxes needs Growth at $49. There is no built-in lead database or LinkedIn steps, so you bring your own list.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need a built-in lead database
  • Multichannel outreach with LinkedIn or calls
  • Buyers who want a free plan

Instantly

Stands out: Warmup, unibox, and volume send with hosted MCP and a public API, plus an AI Recruiting Agent that finds candidates from a job link and emails them.

Watch out: Deliverability still depends on your domains and inboxes, not the tool alone.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only need LinkedIn messaging
  • Buyers looking for an ATS
