The short answer

Mailreach : MailReach pairs spam tests with mailbox warmup, which EmailGuard does not offer. From $20/mo
Folderly : Folderly suits teams that want a more hands on deliverability service rather than a self serve monitoring dashboard. From $79/mo
Warmbox : Warmbox focuses on warming inboxes, a good companion or swap if warmup matters more than monitoring. From $15/mo

Why people look past EmailGuard

Limits are set per plan by connected domains, mailboxes and test counts, so a growing outbound setup can force a jump from $49 to $129 or $199 a month. It does not warm up mailboxes or send your campaigns, so you still need a sequencer and a warmup tool alongside it.

What we noted

No mailbox warmup
Plan limits tied to domain and inbox counts
Annual pricing not published

Not the right fit for

Teams looking for mailbox warmup
Senders who need a campaign or sequencing tool
Single senders who only need an occasional spam score

Worth keeping in mind: EmailGuard bundles inbox placement tests, blacklist and DMARC monitoring, domain masking proxies and contact verification in one subscription, where many teams pay separately for a placement tester and a verifier. It also ships its own MCP server with 86 tools, so you can ask Claude to check a domain's health instead of clicking through dashboards.

What each one does differently

Mailreach

$20/mo

Why it comes up: MailReach pairs spam tests with mailbox warmup, which EmailGuard does not offer.

Stands out: Warmup plus spam tests and blacklist checks in one warmup-first product, a step up from a $15 warmup-only bot.

Watch out: Mailreach does not host your sequences. Instantly and Smartlead already ship warmup, so a separate $20 seat is extra unless you send from Google or Outlook directly.

Best for

Cold emailers warming Google Workspace or Microsoft inboxes
Agencies that want spam tests next to warmup, not warmup alone
Senders on a sequencer that does not include a strong warmup network

Folderly

$79/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Folderly suits teams that want a more hands on deliverability service rather than a self serve monitoring dashboard.

Stands out: The product is placement and authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, seed-list inbox tests), not a warmup bot and not a sequencer.

Watch out: Folderly does not send your campaigns. You still need Instantly, Smartlead, or Google Workspace as the actual mail server.

Best for

Outbound teams whose mail is landing in spam and need placement proof
RevOps watching DMARC and inbox placement across many domains
Agencies that want a deliverability report to show clients

Warmbox

$15/mo

Why it comes up: Warmbox focuses on warming inboxes, a good companion or swap if warmup matters more than monitoring.

Stands out: $15/mo is the cheapest dedicated warmup listing in this set, below Mailreach's $20/mo and well below Folderly's $79/mo monitor.

Watch out: Warmup is not sending. You still need a sequencer. Results take weeks, and a burned domain will not be saved by a $15 plan alone.

Best for

New domains that need a warmup network before cold volume
Solo senders who want a dedicated warmup tool under $20/mo
Agencies warming many client inboxes on a low per-box bill
