Overview
Smartlead is email infrastructure aimed at agencies: unlimited mailboxes, warmup and client-separated accounts, for shops running outbound on behalf of several clients. It is not an ATS. There is a hosted MCP at mcp.smartlead.ai plus an API.
Teams pick it when mailbox count and client isolation matter more than a creative sequencer. The Base plan is $32 a month billed annually, or $39 monthly, with Pro, Unlimited Smart and Unlimited Prime tiers above it, and every plan comes with a free trial and no credit card.

- Teams that need many mailboxes
