MailReach alternatives in 2026: warm-up alone, or warm-up that sends

MailReach alternatives, one need at a time

Each tool below is the better pick for one specific need. Entry prices are monthly, excluding tax, from each pricing page.

1. 1

   Emelia

   Best for: warm-up and sending in the same plan

   Every mailbox you connect is warmed, with no fee per mailbox: up to 3 on Start, 50 on Grow, unlimited on Scale. The same plan sends your cold email campaigns, runs 1 to 10 LinkedIn accounts and finds emails. Cheap does not mean open to anyone: there is no free plan, only a 7-day trial, and each plan sets a mailbox limit (fair use of 1,000 on Scale), because a warm-up pool stays healthy only as long as the senders in it do. Emelia is our product.

2. 2

   Warmup Inbox

   Best for: the lowest rate among tools billed per mailbox

   Billed per mailbox, with a rate that falls from the second mailbox and then applies to all of them. On Basic (75 warm-up emails a day per mailbox), $19 for 1 mailbox, $54.45 for 3, $475 for 50, billed monthly; quote above 50. 7-day trial without a card. It also sends: outreach sequences from a mailbox in warm-up, on every plan.

   from $19/month per mailbox
3. 3

   Lemwarm

   Best for: teams already paying for lemlist

   lemlist's own warm-up, sold alone per email address: Essential at $29 a month ($24 billed yearly), Smart at $49, which writes warm-up emails from a questionnaire and warms your real templates. Lemwarm alone has no trial; it comes with every lemlist plan, from the Email plan at $69 a month.

   TrulyInbox

   Best for: one free mailbox, or many on a shared allowance

   Billed by a daily warm-up volume shared across unlimited mailboxes: free for 1 account at 10 emails a day, then Starter $29 (200 a day, advised for 3 mailboxes), Growth $99 (1,000 a day, advised for 15 mailboxes), Scale $199 (3,000 a day, advised for 50 mailboxes). 7-day trial, refund within 14 days on the first payment only.

5. 5

   Warmy

   Best for: placement tests bundled with the warm-up

   Priced by warm-up emails per day, not per mailbox: Starter at $49 (100 a day, 5 placement tests a month) up to Platinum at $429 (5,000 a day). Tests run on a seed list it puts at "500K+". Its network claim depends on the page: "1M+" on pricing, "a minimum of 300,000" in its FAQ. 7-day trial; its terms rule out refunds.

   from $49/month
6. 6

   InboxAlly

   Best for: engagement on your real campaign emails

   No warm-up conversations between mailboxes: you add its seed addresses to your own sends, and the seeds open, reply and pull your emails out of spam, without access to your mailboxes. Starter costs $149 a month for 1 sender profile and 100 seeds a day; placement tests on every plan; 10-day trial without a card.

   from $149/month
7. 7

   Folderly

   Best for: per-mailbox warm-up on a yearly plan, tests sold apart

   Billed per mailbox, on a yearly plan only, with a minimum commitment: $96 a month per mailbox from 1 to 9 mailboxes, then $72 from 10 and $56 from 25, quote from 100. A demo instead of a trial. Placement tests are a separate product, Inbox Insights (2 free tests a month, or $79 for 100).

   from $96/month per mailbox, billed yearly
8. 8

   Instantly

   Best for: high-volume cold email, warm-up included

   A sending tool with unlimited email accounts and warm-up included from Growth at $47 a month, a plan that sends up to 5,000 emails a month. No LinkedIn automation.

   from $47/monthInstantly

What warming 1, 3, 10 or 50 mailboxes costs with each tool

We start from Emelia's plans: Start connects up to 3 mailboxes and Grow up to 50, sending included, then put each tool's price for the same number of mailboxes next to them. For the warm-up tools, that price buys the warm-up (plus tests or simple sequences for some), not a full sending tool.

Against MailReach alone, Emelia costs less at any exchange rate at 2 and 3 mailboxes and from 7 to 100; MailReach costs less for 1 mailbox (and 4 billed yearly), and the counts in between depend on your currency: the MailReach pricing page has every row.

Read it both ways. For 1 mailbox, MailReach, Warmup Inbox and Lemwarm cost less than Emelia's entry plan, and TrulyInbox is free. At 3 mailboxes, TrulyInbox is the only one still under it, on an allowance shared by all your mailboxes; at 10, TrulyInbox and Emelia Grow are too close to call, it depends on your currency, and at 50 every tool priced in the table costs more than Grow.

MailReach vs Warmy vs InboxAlly: one problem, three different products

MailReach, Warmy and InboxAlly are often weighed against each other, yet they do not sell the same thing. MailReach prices each mailbox it warms, Warmy a daily volume of warm-up emails, InboxAlly sender profiles and the seed addresses you add to your real sends.

Prices excluding tax, read on each publisher's site on October 18, 2026. Warmy's pages disagree on whether a plan covers one mailbox or several, so its price per mailbox is not shown.

Which tool replaces MailReach for you: four questions

• Do you keep a sending tool you already pay for? Then you need a warm-up tool, not a new platform: Warmup Inbox for the lowest rate among per-mailbox tools, TrulyInbox if you warm many mailboxes on a small budget, MailReach itself if its spam tests matter to you.
• Do placement tests matter more than the warm-up? Warmy bundles them in every plan, InboxAlly measures your real emails, Folderly sells its placement tests apart from a yearly per-mailbox warm-up.
• Only one mailbox? TrulyInbox's free plan or Warmup Inbox's Basic cost less than any Emelia plan.
• Do you also need to send campaigns, or LinkedIn? Then the warm-up should come with the sender: Emelia for email and LinkedIn in one plan, Instantly or lemlist for email at volume.
