Where they pull apart

Emailchaser

Stands out: Unlimited email accounts on every plan, plus a hosted MCP server with 95 tools for Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex.

Watch out: Starter is 5,000 emails and 1,000 contacts. Done-for-you mailboxes are $6/mailbox/mo plus setup.

Not the right fit for

  • Senders who need LinkedIn steps in the same sequencer
  • Teams that will blow Starter's 5,000-email cap

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
