Sales intelligence and engagement platform with AI-assisted prospecting and outreach.
SalesFreemium
Cold outreach platform with unlimited mailboxes, warmup, inbox rotation, a master inbox and AI reply categorization.
Overview
Smartlead is a cold email infrastructure and campaign tool built for agencies, founders and small outbound teams who want to send from many mailboxes without hurting deliverability. It offers unlimited connected email accounts with automated warmup, inbox rotation, sub-sequences triggered by replies, a master inbox for managing responses across clients and AI that categorizes replies and drafts follow-ups. Agencies can run separate client workspaces and white-label the product on higher plans. A small business typically connects several Google Workspace or Microsoft mailboxes, imports a verified lead list and launches a sequence with AI-sorted replies routed to the person who closes. It integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zapier, Make, Clay, Slack and Calendly, and provides an API and webhooks on Pro and above. A real caveat is that the Base plan excludes API access and CRM integration, and many teams add paid extras like verification credits, sending servers and white-labeling.
