Instantly

$47/mo Free trial

Cold-email infra for teams farming many sending mailboxes. Public Outreach start is $47/mo monthly.

Where Instantly fits

  • Agencies running many sending accounts
  • Desks that need warmup plus a unibox
  • MCP/API automation around campaigns

Regie.ai

Where they pull apart

Instantly

Stands out: Warmup, unibox, and volume send with hosted MCP and a public API.

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

Regie.ai

Stands out: Empty enrichment is free. Credits are spent on research, message drafts, contact enrichment that finds data, and dialing. You send from connected Gmail or Outlook.

Watch out: Pro is built for one person filling pipeline. Team workspaces, shared agents, custom CRM sync, and SOC 2 sit on a custom Enterprise card. Credits do not roll over.

Not the right fit for

  • Large SDR floors that need shared agents and custom CRM sync on day one
  • Teams that will not connect a work mailbox to send

Pros and cons

Instantly

  • Warmup and unibox in the same desk
  • Hosted MCP plus REST API
  • No-card get-started path on the vendor site
  • Sending domains and inboxes are bought separately
  • Sequence designer is plainer than multichannel rivals
  • Volume tiers step up quickly as mailboxes grow

Regie.ai

  • Free 250-credit start with no credit card
  • Pro prints $49/mo with 5,000 monthly credits
  • Empty enrichment does not burn credits
  • Pro is a single-person plan, not a shared team workspace
  • Credits do not roll over month to month
  • Enterprise security, shared agents, and custom CRM sync are quoted
