Where they pull apart

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

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 is $125/seat/mo billed annually, or $150 monthly. 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
