Where they pull apart

Smartlead

Stands out: Unlimited mailboxes plus separate client workspaces, with a hosted MCP.

Watch out: Email only: there is no LinkedIn channel and no finder in the same login.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need LinkedIn in the same sequencer
Buyers who want a finder in the same login

Warmbox

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.

Not the right fit for

Buyers who want inbox-placement analytics, not a warmup bot
Teams that expect warmup to replace authentication and list hygiene

Warmbox

Published $15/mo listing, low for a dedicated warmup network
Unbundled from any one sequencer
Simple job: reputation, not campaigns

Does not send campaigns or host mailboxes
Overlap with Instantly and Smartlead bundled warmup
Will not rescue a domain with a broken DMARC record
