What do you like best about Instantly
I’ve been using Instantly for nearly 2 years now. I am happy overall with the features and the UX they offer .
I recommend it for its deliverability. Outreach messages rarely get to spam probably also because of their 30 messages per day per email address and also the great warmup feature.
It is very easy to use and setup campaigns so I would say it is a good software for beginners.
Last, you can count on their customer service , they are very helpful.
What would you improve about Instantly
The software crashes often while using the unibox and lately it’s moving slowly overall . The limit to how many email you can send pe e-mail adrese per day is good but however it seems excessive.
Last, it is an fairly expensive software . Compared to last year , due to the changes they made to their plans lately they doubled my monthly cost .

Instantly Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re juggling different tools for sourcing leads, warming up email accounts and sending outreach, you’re likely wasting time switching between dashboards, duplicating work, and risking poor deliverability. Instantly.ai solves this by combining lead discovery, email warm-up, and campaign automation into one platform – so you can move from prospect identification to launch with fewer tools and less operational friction. The official site states: “Find and enrich 450 M leads …” using its B2B Lead Finder feature.
Deliverability is a key trust point. Instantly.ai includes unlimited email-warmup (that is, interactive warming of your sending accounts) and built-in deliverability features such as bounce detection, global block lists and scheduling optimizations. By warming many accounts and monitoring account health, Instantly.ai helps you achieve better placement in recipient inboxes rather than spam folders.
From an E-E-A-T standpoint (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), Instantly.ai differentiates itself by:
- Offering a large integrated lead-database (160 M+ contacts according to some sources) that’s tied to outreach.
- Bundling email warm-up, email sending, and analytics in one tool (versus platforms that only do one part).
- Providing unlimited email account connections within a plan (so you aren’t charged per account) according to their pricing page.
These elements combine to present a stronger “one-platform outbound” value proposition than many competitors.
Yes – with caveats. Instantly.ai supports unlimited email accounts and warm-up across one subscription. That said, one review notes that some advanced multi-client management features may require higher tiers or separate workspaces. For agencies who onboard many clients, it’s wise to check whether the plan supports distinct workspaces, reporting by client, and team-permissions before proceeding.
Yes, generally. Instantly.ai emphasises simplicity: you can connect multiple email accounts, warm them automatically, use a built-in lead finder and launch outreach from one dashboard. Many users report being able to start campaigns the same day. That said, clients with complex workflows (CRM integrations, multi-channel outreach, advanced analytics) may need some ramp-up time or support. One review flagged limitations when compared to deeply integrated enterprise tools.
Instantly.ai’s pricing reflects scalability: for example the “Growth” plan supports 1,000 active leads and 5,000 emails/month, while the “Hypergrowth” plan supports 25,000 active leads and 100,000 emails/month. You can upgrade to higher tiers if needed. Because you can connect unlimited email accounts and warm them, if your growth means more sending domains/accounts rather than just more volume, the tool supports that without per-account fees. Note: Very high-volume, complex enterprise setups should review integration and reporting limits before assuming it will cover everything.
Instantly.ai supports integration with automation platforms like Make (formerly Integromat) and offers API/webhook access. So your outreach tool can tie into your CRM, list-management system, or workflow automations. If you use major CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce and require deep native connectivity, you should check current status of those integrations specifically (since some reviews cite limited built-in CRM syncs).
Best suited for:
- Solo founders, small teams, agencies doing cold email outreach and wanting fast setup.
- Teams who need an integrated tool (lead sourcing + warm-up + sends) rather than stitching tools.
Less suitable for:
- Large enterprises with deeply complex ICPs requiring advanced technographic filters, multi-channel (email + phone + LinkedIn) outreach, or advanced dashboards. One review flagged that some filters (tech-stack, funding) were missing.
- Organizations needing dedicated client-segmented workspaces at scale, or very high daily sending volumes beyond the listed tiers without custom pricing.
Instantly.ai offers live chat support at least from the Growth plan upwards.They also provide a robust help centre (“Help Centre” link on their site) detailing how to use the platform, and blog/tutorial resources (e.g., “Instantly AI Full Tutorial” video) for self-paced learning. If you are onboarding many users, you may want to check whether there is dedicated account management or onboarding assistance (which may come with higher pricing tiers).
Yes. According to pricing information, there is a “Start for free” option listed on the Growth and Hypergrowth plans. Also, FAQs mention you can upgrade for more volume. One source (pricing FAQ) indicates there is a trial for the sending & warm-up plan. As for cancellation, the FAQ says you can cancel via the billing section of your account. As always, review the exact terms and any minimum commitment to avoid surprises.
Instantly.ai claims to maintain a large database of B2B contacts with filters by job title, industry, size, etc. According to one recent review, the database offers 450 million+ contacts. However, that same review flagged that while the data is solid for many use cases, very deep firmographic or technographic filters (e.g., funding stage, web-tech stack) may still be limited. If you rely critically on ultra-clean data, you may wish to test a sample export and verify accuracy for your target segment.
Instantly.ai offers AI-powered personalization features for subject lines and email body text, allowing you to leverage prospect/company data to build tailored messaging. Also, the system supports A/Z (split) testing of email variations and integrates warm-up and deliverability measures so your personalised emails have a better chance to be delivered in-box.
See reviews: “AI personalization … subject lines … email content … send times” from reviewers.
Good question – every tool has trade-offs. For Instantly.ai:
- Some users find the pricing jump between plans steep (especially if you’re between tiers).
- Advanced filters (technographic, funding, ultra-niche firmographics) may be missing or behind higher tiers.
- Multi-channel outreach (e.g., LinkedIn, phone) may require additional tools outside Instantly.ai, since the core focus is cold email.
These aren’t deal-breakers – but they’re worth considering if you have very specific requirements.
If you’re a freelancer, you’ll appreciate features like unlimited email account connections (so you can manage different domains for each client) and built-in lead sourcing and warm-up. The unified inbox (“Unibox”) helps you manage replies from multiple campaigns in one place.
Protecting sender reputation is critical for cold outreach. Instantly.ai addresses this by:
- Offering unlimited warm-up of email accounts (ensuring new accounts build legitimacy)
- Providing analytics and bounce detection, global block list features and deliverability optimisation built into the sending.
- Encouraging segmentation, account rotation and filtered lead sourcing so you’re not sending huge blasts from a single domain/account which could trigger spam filters. By managing account reputation properly, you’ll have healthier outreach over time.
Instantly.ai integrates with popular CRMs and automation tools through native connections, APIs, and Make (Integromat) integrations. This means your outreach data—like sent emails, replies, or contact statuses – can automatically sync with your CRM.
Setup steps:
- Connect your CRM via API key or webhook (found under “Integrations” in Instantly.ai).
- Map data fields such as lead status, email address, and response outcome.
- Test automation flows—e.g., when a lead replies, mark it as “contacted” in HubSpot automatically.
This ensures your CRM always reflects your latest outreach performance, saving time and preventing manual data entry. For teams managing large volumes, this sync helps sales and marketing stay aligned in real time.
ROI depends on your list quality and messaging, but Instantly.ai’s automation, warm-up, and analytics tools significantly increase reply rates compared to manual outreach.
Typical benchmarks shared by users:
- 2–3× higher deliverability after two weeks of automated warm-up.
- 15–25% average reply rates on well-targeted campaigns.
- Up to 40% reduction in manual workload due to automation and unified inbox management.
Because Instantly.ai allows you to A/B test subject lines, personalize emails at scale, and rotate multiple domains safely, you get consistent campaign performance and faster scaling. In short, Instantly.ai pays for itself quickly once campaigns reach deliverability maturity (often within the first month).
When scaling outreach, poor deliverability can derail results. Instantly.ai simplifies this with unlimited warm-up and domain rotation, but best practices matter:
- Warm each new account for at least 14 days before sending real campaigns.
- Limit daily sends initially (start at 20–30 emails/account, increase gradually).
- Use domain rotation – send from multiple domains to distribute volume.
- Avoid spam triggers in copy (overuse of links, excessive CTAs, or promotional terms).
- Monitor analytics in Instantly’s dashboard (open/reply rates, bounce %, spam score).
Following these steps maintains sender reputation and helps your outreach scale safely without risking blacklisting.
Instantly.ai offers layered support based on plan tier. All users get access to the Help Center, video tutorials, and the Instantly Slack Community, where users and experts share campaign tactics. Growth and Hypergrowth plans include priority chat support, while agencies and enterprises can request dedicated onboarding assistance.
For team rollouts, Instantly.ai’s shared workspace feature lets admins manage roles, templates, and analytics centrally. New SDRs can quickly learn via the in-app guides and templates. Teams typically take one week or less to get fully operational.
Instantly.ai’s B2B Lead Finder allows detailed filtering by company size, industry, job title, and region—ideal for SMB and mid-market targeting. To reach highly niche segments (e.g., SaaS firms using HubSpot or companies recently funded), combine Instantly.ai’s filters with external enrichment tools through Make or Zapier integrations.
Pro Tip:
- Export leads from Instantly.ai, enrich them with technographic data from tools like BuiltWith or Clearbit, then re-import for precision targeting.
- Save custom filter sets (e.g., “Series A SaaS Startups > USA > Marketing Leads”) to scale campaigns efficiently.
This hybrid approach blends Instantly.ai’s built-in database with specialist data layers – giving you hyper-targeted outreach while retaining workflow simplicity.
