EmailGuard vs Mailreach

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

EmailGuard

$49/mo Free tier

EmailGuard is a deliverability toolkit that monitors your sending domains and mailboxes and tests where your emails land. It suits recruiters and agencies running cold email across many secondary domains who want monitoring, placement tests and verification in one dashboard. Paid plans start at $49 a month and there is a free forever plan rather than a timed trial.

Where EmailGuard fits

  • Agencies running cold email across many secondary domains
  • Recruiters who want inbox placement tests before a BD campaign
  • Teams that need DMARC and blacklist monitoring in one place
  • AI users who want deliverability checks inside Claude or Cursor

Mailreach

$20/mo

Mailreach is email warmup and deliverability for cold outreach inboxes. The listing floor is $20/mo.

Where Mailreach fits

  • 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
  • Teams comparing a $20 warmup seat with Folderly's $79 monitor

Where they pull apart

EmailGuard

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

Mailreach

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Users who already get warmup inside Instantly and do not want a second bill
  • Buyers who need seed-list inbox placement graphs more than a warmup network

Pros and cons

EmailGuard

  • Free forever plan with real monitoring
  • Placement tests, DMARC and verification in one plan
  • Own MCP server and documented API
  • No mailbox warmup
  • Plan limits tied to domain and inbox counts
  • Annual pricing not published

Mailreach

  • Published $20/mo listing with warmup plus spam tests
  • Works alongside Gmail, Microsoft, or a sequencer
  • Unbundled, so you are not forced into one sending UI
  • A second bill if your sequencer already warms mail
  • Not an inbox-placement suite at Folderly depth
