Mailshake’s published plans
| Plan | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Starter, 1 user | $29/mo | 1,500 emails a month; 1 mailbox; no unified inbox |
| Email Outreach, 1 user | $49/mo | Unlimited emails a month; Unlimited sends; 2 mailboxes listed per account |
| Sales Engagement, 1 user | $99/mo | Unlimited emails a month; Unlimited sends; 10 mailboxes; dialer |
- Mailshake’s Email Outreach plan lists unlimited sends, but each user connects a limited number of mailboxes (2 per account in the plan table; the FAQ says one per paid user). How much you can actually send depends on those mailboxes, so higher volume usually means more users. We price one user.
- Mailshake shows a second, lower price per plan that appears to be yearly billing; the labels weren’t clear, so we use the higher figure.
