Saleshandy or Emelia, in short
- Emails found
- Emelia’s credit packs cost less than Saleshandy’s at every size both publish: 5,000 emails for $49 against $100, 50,000 for $299 against $800. Emelia’s credits stay valid 12 months, even after cancelling; Saleshandy’s reset every month.
- Caps
- Saleshandy’s plans cap the emails sent and the active prospects (Starter: 6,000 and 2,000). Emelia caps neither: its plans are set by the number of mailboxes.
- Users and CRM
- Starter is for 1 user and has no CRM sync (from Pro, $99). Emelia does not bill per user and includes a CRM integration on every plan.
Prices that look attractive: let’s see what they hide
Saleshandy promises unlimited mailboxes from $41 a month. The trap: connecting your mailboxes is the most tedious step, and only once they are plugged in do you discover the caps on contacts and emails. With 100 mailboxes connected, the Pro plan really runs only about 39, less than half. The Starter plan, barely 3.
The yardstick: a mailbox normally sends to 35 new contacts a day, and 100 emails a day in all, follow-ups included. Over a month of 22 working days, one mailbox is therefore about 770 new contacts and 2,200 emails.
The Pro plan caps at 30,000 contacts and 100,000 emails a month: enough to run about 39 mailboxes. Beyond that, the connected mailboxes are useless.
At Emelia, Grow at $97 a month connects 50 mailboxes, with no limit on contacts or on emails sent. Scale, at $297 a month, goes up to 1,000 mailboxes.
What unlimited pricing hides
2,000 contacts ÷ 770 per mailbox ≈ 2.6; 6,000 emails ÷ 2,200 per mailbox ≈ 2.7: about 3 mailboxes before a cap stops you.
30,000 contacts ÷ 770 per mailbox ≈ 39; 100,000 emails ÷ 2,200 per mailbox ≈ 45.5: about 39 mailboxes before a cap stops you.
contacts unlimited; 200,000 emails ÷ 2,200 per mailbox ≈ 90.9: about 91 mailboxes before a cap stops you.
How we count
Contact cap ÷ 770 and email cap ÷ 2,200 per mailbox: the lower result wins. Saleshandy counts active prospects, the contacts you keep in live sequences at the same time; stored prospects are not counted, and Scale is unlimited within a fair use policy.

When the cap is reached
The campaign is not over, but the tool stops. To add contacts, you have to delete others. You cannot prepare the next campaigns in advance. You find out once you are committed, and you have to move up a plan. An email cap does the same: either way, you are fighting the tool.
At Emelia
50 mailboxes for $97 a month on Grow, with no cap on contacts or on emails sent. Scale goes up to 1,000 mailboxes (fair use).
Saleshandy plans in 2026: three prices, three sending caps
Per month for the account, in US dollars, excluding tax. Yearly billing takes 17% off Starter, 23% off Pro and 21% off Scale, and deposits the year’s credits upfront. Quarterly billing exists too (10%, 15% and 13% off according to the help centre), but its prices are not on the pricing page.

Saleshandy and Emelia at the same number of mailboxes
Same need on both sides. Saleshandy’s plan follows the emails sent, 30 to 50 a day per mailbox over 22 working days, so a range appears when the pace changes the plan; Emelia’s follows the mailboxes alone, with LinkedIn accounts included.

What the price leaves out
Credits you do not use
CRM sync
Saleshandy credits come with the plan; Emelia adds the smallest monthly pack that covers the emails found (the credits given once at signup are not counted). With 10,000 emails found from 3 mailboxes, Starter plus a pack costs less than Pro. For visitors paying in euros, no winner is shown unless the difference exceeds what exchange rates could change.
If you also prospect on LinkedIn: the cost with Saleshandy
These costs only apply if you also prospect on LinkedIn; for cold email alone, Saleshandy needs no extra tool. Saleshandy does not automate it: the steps are manual tasks, or a second subscription (Aimfox, $49 per account a month). Email plus LinkedIn costs $90 with Starter and 1 account, $246 with Pro and 3, $589 to $679 with 10, against $37, $97 and $297 at Emelia, which includes the accounts.
Cold email and automated LinkedIn, billed monthly
1 LinkedIn account, 3 mailboxes
3 LinkedIn accounts, 50 mailboxes
10 LinkedIn accounts, 100 mailboxes
Once automated LinkedIn is in the picture, Emelia is cheaper at every size in the table: Saleshandy hands LinkedIn to Aimfox ($49 per account a month, checked on October 29, 2026) or HeyReach on a second subscription, where Emelia includes the accounts.
3 mailboxes (up to 6,600 emails and 2,310 new contacts a month), 1 automated LinkedIn account and 10,000 emails found a month, billed monthly

Saleshandy cost calculator: mailboxes, sending pace and emails found
Choose how many mailboxes you send from. The simulator counts what Emelia’s mailboxes send at their quotas (35 new contacts and 100 emails a day each, over 22 working days), picks the Saleshandy tier that covers both the emails and the contacts, and shows “on quote” beyond its last tier. Emelia is the plan that covers the same mailboxes. Emails you need found each month are added with the credit pack that covers them.
Scale · unlimited contacts, up to 200,000 emails a month+ 2,500-credit pack ($50)Start+ 10,000-credit pack ($99)You save $103 per month with Emelia ($1,236 per year).
How each tool charges
Saleshandy bills by emails sent per month: Starter $41 for 6,000, Pro $99 for 100,000, Scale $189 for 200,000 ($299 for 300,000, $599 for 600,000), with 1,500, 4,000 or 8,000 credits a month, plus credit packs ($25 for 1,000, for example). Mailboxes do not change the price. US dollars only.
Emelia charges by plan, not per user: Start $37 (3 mailboxes, 1 LinkedIn), Grow $97 (50 mailboxes, 3 LinkedIn), Scale $297 (unlimited mailboxes, 10 LinkedIn), then $29 per extra LinkedIn account. Emails found are paid with monthly credit packs, from $19 for 1,000 credits; the credits given once at signup are not counted.
Excluding tax. Not simulated: users (1 / 10 / unlimited) and Starter’s missing CRM sync. Saleshandy’s active prospects (contacts in live sequences at once) are counted as the month’s contacts. One credit pack at most, counted every month (“Credits / mo” on the pricing page; a help article also calls them one-off). Mailboxes from Google or Microsoft cost the same with both tools. LinkedIn is not simulated: Saleshandy sends it to a partner tool on a second subscription (see the table above), where Emelia includes the accounts. Contacts and emails are counted at Emelia’s quotas per mailbox (35 new contacts and 100 emails a day) over 22 working days; Saleshandy charges for the tier that covers both caps, Emelia caps neither.
A 10-day money-back window, a free trial and pauses of up to 6 months
Trial, no free plan. 7 days without a card, capped at 100 emails and up to 50 Lead Finder credits. There is no free prospecting plan; only the Inbox Radar placement tool has a free tier (2 tests a month).
Refunds, two versions. The help centre promises a full refund within 10 days of a first subscription (transaction fees excepted) and, on a renewal, within 5 days if the product was not used and the reason is valid. The terms of service (May 2026) only allow refunds within 10 days of the first purchase, prorated on what was used, and call Lead Finder, inbox placement tests and email verification “strictly non-refundable”. The help centre adds that verification credits, purchased mailboxes and domains are never refunded, and that an upgrade becomes a credit note, not a refund.
Cancelling and pausing. Cancellation in Settings, Billing & Subscription takes effect at the end of the paid period (PayPal, 2Checkout and Razorpay payments go through support); the account then falls back to a free plan without access to its data. A pause of 1 to 6 months keeps the data and restarts billing automatically. Saleshandy emails a reminder 2 days before an automatic renewal and announces price changes 30 days ahead.
Lead Finder pricing: credits included each month, packs on top, no rollover
Each plan includes 1,500, 4,000 or 8,000 credits a month (the whole year at once on yearly billing). They reset every cycle: nothing rolls over, whereas the Lead Finder plans sold before August 2026 kept 50%. Beyond that, packs go from 500 to 100,000 credits ($25 for 1,000, $1,600 for 100,000), at the same price on monthly and yearly billing, then on quote. Per verified email, Emelia’s packs cost less at every volume both publish.
One verified email found, at the same pack size (packs bought monthly)
1,000 credits
5,000 credits
10,000 credits
50,000 credits
100,000 credits
Emelia’s monthly pack credits stay valid for 12 months. Saleshandy labels its packs “Credits / mo”, while one of its help articles calls them one-off purchases and another says unused credits expire monthly. Searching Saleshandy’s database costs nothing; Emelia finds the email and phone number of leads you bring or extract from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, so these rows compare the price of one verified email.
What changed in August 2026, and for whom
Until mid-August 2026, Saleshandy sold sending and Lead Finder as two subscriptions; the last archived copy of the old pricing page dates from August 14, 2026. The “Platform Plan” merged them, and Saleshandy’s pricing file is dated August 18, 2026. Customers who subscribed before keep their old plans at the same price.
- Starter: $36 → $41 monthly, $25 → $34 billed yearly, same 6,000 emails, plus 1,500 credits a month.
- Pro: still $99 monthly, $69 → $76 yearly, and the cap falls from 150,000 to 100,000 emails; 4,000 credits a month added.
- Scale: $199 → $189 monthly but $139 → $149 yearly, 240,000 → 200,000 emails, 8,000 credits a month added.
- Lead Finder alone used to cost $59 (Lead Starter, 2,500 credits) or $99 (Lead Pro, 4,000 credits) a month on top of sending. It is no longer sold separately.
Paid extras: Dialer, purchased mailboxes and domains, Inbox Radar, verification and AI credits
None of these is needed to send cold email; each is billed on top of the plan, in US dollars.
Add-on prices
1,000 or 2,500 call credits and 1 or 3 numbers; extra US or Canada number $3.81 a quarter; no trial.
Depending on the commitment (yearly, yearly “Flexi” from 25 mailboxes, quarterly); domains $14 a year; non-refundable and not transferable.
120 to 600 tests; Pro and Scale include 1 and 2.
Up to $249 for 100,000; one-off, non-refundable. Emelia verifies an address for 0.25 credit.
Up to $200 for 100,000.
Dollars, euros and VAT at checkout
Saleshandy sets its prices in US dollars. Its pricing page can display them in EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, INR and BRL, converted at the day’s rate and rounded up, so a euro price moves with the exchange rate; which currency is actually charged to a European card is not published.
Since April 2026, payments go through Paddle, which acts as the seller: VAT or GST is added according to your country, and a valid VAT number removes it. Every price on this page is excluding tax. Emelia’s prices carry the same number whether you pay in euros or in dollars.
Saleshandy pricing questions: coupons, seats, credits, quarterly billing
No code. Saleshandy’s coupon page sends you to yearly billing and still says “up to 30%” off, a figure from the old price list; today the yearly discount is 17% to 23%. Saleshandy also gives 10,000 verification credits for a G2 review.
No: users come with the plan (1 on Starter, 10 on Pro, unlimited on Scale). A second person therefore means moving to Pro.
Not on monthly billing: unused credits are lost at each cycle. On yearly billing the whole year (18,000, 48,000 or 96,000 credits) is deposited at once, which gives more room. Emelia’s monthly packs keep their credits for 12 months.
Yes, according to the help centre: 10% off Starter, 15% off Pro, 13% off Scale. The pricing page itself only shows monthly and yearly prices.
