Emelia, when the inboxes you protect also send your campaigns
- 1
Best for: Warm-up, cold email and LinkedIn on one planEach mailbox Emelia’s plan connects is warmed, and the same plan sends your sequences from it: 3 mailboxes on Start, 50 on Grow, with 1 to 10 LinkedIn accounts and email finding in credits. It is billed monthly, with no commitment, where Folderly takes a year paid upfront. Compared with Folderly, Emelia runs no placement test and assigns no specialist; what it adds is the sending itself.

Placement tests without a yearly contract: MailReach, Warmy, Mailivery
Like Folderly, these three tell you where your emails land. Unlike it, each can be paid month by month, with tests counted in the plan.
- 1
Best for: A per-mailbox rate with spam-test credits includedMailReach also prices by the mailbox, $25 a month each up to 5 and down to $16 from 51, and adds 20 spam-test credits a month for the whole account. It is billed month by month. Its warm-up has no trial, and like Folderly it leaves the sending to your own tool.

- NoLinkedIn automation
- Price
- from $25/month per mailbox (All-in-One plan)
- Who it’s for

- 2
Best for: Seed-list tests inside every planWarmy attaches a plan to each mailbox, from $49 a month on Starter, and each plan carries its own placement tests, 5 a month on Starter up to 50 on Platinum. It bills monthly and offers a 7-day trial without a card. Like Folderly, it sells deliverability alone and sends nothing.

Best for: Tests and verification for many mailboxesMailivery charges a flat monthly plan rather than a price per mailbox: Starter at $29 with 10 placement tests, Professional at $79 with 30 placement tests and Business at $199 with 100 placement tests, for as many mailboxes as you connect. Email verification and blacklist monitoring come in the same subscription, and a 7-day trial is offered. The bill follows the warm-up volume the plan shares between your mailboxes rather than their number, while Folderly’s grows with each one.

Daily upkeep for less per inbox: Warmup Inbox, lemwarm, TrulyInbox, Warmbox
These services look after each mailbox day after day, as Folderly does, and bill month by month, for a fraction of the $96 per mailbox a month that Folderly takes upfront for a year.
- 1
Best for: A per-inbox price that falls with volume, sequences includedWarmup Inbox’s Basic plan costs $19 per inbox a month, and the rate drops as you add inboxes, to $9.50 at 50. Its plans can also send cold email sequences from the inboxes it warms. The 7-day trial needs no card; placement tests are a separate free tool rather than a report in the plan.

Someone to call: Mailwarm’s expert calls and Warmy’s specialists

- 1
Best for: Calls with a deliverability expert in the planMailwarm sells plans for a set number of mailboxes, each with calls from a deliverability expert: Starter at $79 a month for 1 mailbox with 1 call a month, Growth at $189 for 3 with 4. Mailwarm says it does not offer a classic free trial; unlike Folderly, it lets you pay month by month.

Folderly next to the tools it is compared with
Both sit next to your sending tool rather than replacing it. InboxAlly bills sender profiles, from $149 a month for 1 profile on Starter: its seed addresses engage with your real campaigns, an automatic warm-up is included, and every tier has placement testing, with a 10-day trial without a card. Folderly, for its part, bills each mailbox by the year.
Warmy counts tests inside each mailbox’s plan, 5 a month on Starter at $49. At Folderly, tests belong to a separate product, Inbox Insights: 2 free a month per account, then $79 a month for 100. Neither sends your campaigns.
In part. Instantly is a sending tool whose plans include warm-up for unlimited accounts, from $47 a month on Growth, and it sells placement tests as a separate subscription from $47 a month. Unlike Folderly, it sends the campaigns. Emelia works the same way for warm-up and sending, and adds LinkedIn to the plan.
