EmailQo vs Saleshandy

Annual billing requirements and active prospect caps vs flat month-to-month pricing with no volume limits.

Who Saleshandy is built for

Saleshandy is a cold email platform built for sales teams that want sequence-focused outreach with CRM integrations and multi-inbox rotation. Their Outreach Pro plan supports up to 30,000 active prospects in sequences simultaneously, unlimited connected email accounts, condition-based follow-up logic, A/Z testing, and integrations with Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and Zapier. For teams that run outreach directly from a CRM, the Pro tier covers most of what a structured sales process needs.

Warmup is included on all paid plans via their TrulyInbox integration. Saleshandy also sells managed email infrastructure, a B2B lead finder, and a phone dialer as separate paid products. Teams that want a single vendor for multiple parts of their outbound stack can build that out on the platform.

The pricing page shows $25, $69, and $139 per month. Those prices all require annual billing. Month-to-month rates are $36, $99, and $199 — 30 to 44 percent higher. The Starter plan caps active prospects at 2,000, which is a limit on how many contacts can be enrolled in live sequences at one time. Teams running more than 2,000 contacts simultaneously need the Pro plan at $69 per month annual minimum. Pre-send inbox placement testing is a separate paid product — it is not included in base plans, with the exception that Scale gets two free tests per month. AWS SES is not listed as a supported sending provider.

Who EmailQo is built for

EmailQo is built for senders who want to own the infrastructure their campaigns run through. You connect your own Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, or Amazon SES accounts, and EmailQo sends through them directly. Your domain reputation is isolated from every other user on the platform because no one else sends through your accounts.

Before every campaign, EmailQo runs pre-send inbox checks automatically: spam word detection, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation, blacklist monitoring, and simulation against enterprise email filters. Those checks are included on every plan, not sold separately. Built-in warmup is also included on every plan. AI reply classification sorts responses into interested, not interested, and out of office, and follow-up sequences pause automatically when someone replies.

The honest limitations: EmailQo has no lead database, no CRM integrations, and no dialer. You bring your own contact list. Initial setup takes more time than Saleshandy because you are configuring your own sending accounts and DNS records. If you use Amazon SES, AWS bills you separately at $0.10 per 1,000 emails. EmailQo does not mark up that cost.

Pricing at EmailQo is flat monthly: $19 for Starter, $39 for Growth, $89 for Scale. The same price applies on monthly or annual billing. There are no active prospect caps — the cost does not change with contact count or send volume.

Which one fits your situation

Choose Saleshandy if CRM integration is a hard requirement. If your sales process depends on Salesforce, Pipedrive, or Zoho staying in sync with your sequences, Saleshandy's Pro plan at $69 per month annual covers that directly. It is also the right choice if you need A/Z testing across multiple sequence variants, condition-based follow-up logic, or a dialer add-on alongside email outreach. For structured sales teams running outreach as part of a CRM-connected workflow, Saleshandy has integrations EmailQo does not.

Choose EmailQo if annual commitment is not something you want to lock into, or if the Starter plan's 2,000 active prospect cap limits how you run campaigns. EmailQo Growth at $39 per month covers any contact volume without a concurrent cap, billed month-to-month. The SES integration matters for teams sending at high volume who want transparent infrastructure billing without per-contact cost increases.

The pre-send check gap is worth weighing separately. Saleshandy's inbox placement testing costs extra on top of the base plan. EmailQo includes spam word scanning, DNS validation, blacklist checks, and enterprise filter simulation on every plan with no add-on required. For teams where deliverability into corporate inboxes has been the issue, that difference is worth factoring in before deciding.
