FAQ
Is there a free plan?
No permanent free plan, but you can try Smartlead for free before choosing a paid plan starting at $32/mo.
Do I pay per mailbox or email account?
No — Smartlead allows unlimited mailboxes and lead storage on every plan; you pay based on monthly email sends and verified prospect emails instead.
Can Smartlead help with deliverability, not just sending?
Yes — it handles mailbox warm-up, SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup, and monitors bounce/spam signals in real time to keep outreach landing in the primary inbox.
Where it holds up
- Unlimited mailboxes and lead storage — pay only for what you send
- Automatic warm-up, SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup, and real-time deliverability monitoring
- AI agents research leads, write personalized emails, and update your CRM automatically
- Master Inbox centralizes replies across every campaign and client
- Verified prospect data included, with 3x source verification to reduce bounces
Where it falls short
- No permanent free plan — only a free trial before billing starts
- Fresh/pre-warmed mailbox add-ons (SmartSenders) are billed separately per domain and mailbox
- Higher sending volumes and dedicated infrastructure require the pricier Unlimited tiers
