Smartlead
Cold email software for sales teams — unlimited mailboxes, deliverability infrastructure, and AI outbound agents
Smartlead is a cold email and outbound platform built for scale. It handles mailbox setup, DNS/SPF/DKIM/DMARC, warm-ups, and sender rotation automatically so campaigns land in the primary inbox instead of spam, with unlimited mailboxes and lead storage. SmartAgents can research leads, write personalized emails, and update your CRM without code; a Master Inbox centralizes replies across every campaign and client with AI-prioritized hot leads; SmartDialer adds multi-channel calling; and a built-in CRM tracks deals on a Kanban board synced to the inbox and campaigns.
