Smartlead

Smartlead is an outbound platform built on sending infrastructure, not copy. Campaigns run from one dashboard where AI agents research leads, draft messages and sync to a CRM board, while the deliverability layer does the unglamorous work: DNS records configured for you, tenant infrastructure per campaign, and background warmup that simulates reading and replying before volume. Sender slots are unmetered on every listed tier. Above that sit a reply hub that sorts inbound mail by buyer intent, multichannel dialing with voicemail screening, a kanban pipeline tied to comms logs, and connectors and an API for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Clay, Zapier, Make and n8n.

The pricing page names the buyer: Base at $39 a month ($32.50 annually) with 2,000 leads and 6,000 sends, Pro at $94 ($78.30) with 30,000 leads and 90,000 sends, Unlimited Smart at $174 ($144.50) with unlimited leads and 150,000 sends, Unlimited Prime at $379 ($314.60) with 500,000 sends and three client workspaces. Metering is on leads, sends and verifications rather than seats, and client workspaces appear only at the top tier, so it fits agencies and high-volume teams; read the caps, because Base's 6,000 sends forces the jump. Budget time for the DNS access the tenant model needs, which IT may resist, and remember warmup borrows a reputation you still own if targeting is bad. It is not a lead database or a compliance engine for cold-email law; for one company sending modest volume, fewer knobs are cheaper.
