Best All-in-one Email Outreach Tool

Respona

The first tool in our list is Respona.

Respona is a link building software that can help you build quality backlinks.

It’s developed by the world-class team over at Visme to help spread the word about the company and reach over a million monthly organic traffic.

respona homepage

We built this tool to make the process of finding link building opportunities and connecting with them easier, instead of using outdated tools such as Buzzstream and Pitchbox.

Users from all over the world use Respona to build relationships with relevant bloggers, niche influencers, and other link prospects.

It’s a tool that’s great for content promotion, media pitching, PR outreach, blogger outreach, and brand pitching.

Let’s see how it works.

You can use Respona in two main ways:

  • By manually inserting opportunities
  • By using Respona’s built-in search engine
respona campaign templates

Think of Respona’s search engine as Google search integrated within the product.

And, think of the Import option as a way to manually import csv files, map the data to create custom fields within Respona, and find the best email addresses for your prospects.

Respona uses a four-step process for setting up a new blogger outreach campaign.

From there, you can manage email communications through Respona and build links for your target pages.

Respona pricing

The truth is that building links is expensive.

This is why most companies either outsource the process to a vendor (e.g. an agency) or don’t do it at all.

With Respona, we’ve calculated the cost of email outreach and come up with something around $399 per month.

respona pricing

This is a rough estimation, of course, but it covers most of the costs involved in a solid link building process.

We’ve also included the investment that you need to make into certain tools for content discovery like BuzzSumo.

All these things considered, you can see that the cost per month—labor costs excluded—is relatively high.

Since Respona combines capabilities from different products and saves you manual work, the pricing of $399 per month is definitely a fair deal.

You also have the option to pay yearly and get an even better price.

Moreover, there’s a custom plan for agencies with flexible pricing.

You can get a full overview of Respona’s features on the official website’s pricing page.

Best Email Finder/Email Verifier Tools

Hunter.io

Hunter.io is one of the most popular choices when it comes to email finder and verifier tools.

Finding relevant contact information is one of the most important email outreach efforts, so Hunter is ranking high on our list.

Hunter homepage

Hunter’s search bar sits right on its homepage. Simply paste in your target domain, and it will reveal the list of emails associated with it.

There are also two other versions of the search: the email finder, and the author finder.

The former helps you find the email address of a specific person within the company, and the latter searches for the author of a specific URL.

The tool even lets you run a few searches for free.

Hunter.io also features a bulk emails search option, as well as a browser extension that allows you to extract emails on the fly.

In addition to finding contacts, Hunter also allows you to run simple email outreach campaigns.

Hunter pricing

Hunter provides users with 25 free monthly searches and 50 verifications. It also gives you access to the cold email campaigns functionality, although very limited: with only 1 email account, 500 recipients per email campaign, and no attachments.

The cheapest plan is the Starter, pricing at $49/month, and the most expensive one is Business at $399/month.

Voila Norbert

VoilaNorbert is another popular email finder and verification tool.

voilanorbert homepage

It offers very similar functionality to Hunter.io – you get 50 free credits, and can find virtually anyone’s email address.

However, there is one additional feature that makes Norbert stand out, and that is email enrichment.

If you already have some email addresses, but would like to find out more about the people using them, the email enrichment feature will find a treasure trove of information such as the companies they work for, their job roles, and social media profiles.

Using this information, you will be able to better segment your email list and personalize your blogger outreach campaigns more thoroughly, making it easier to build relationships and drive conversions.

VoilaNorbert pricing

The starter prices for VoilaNorbert’s services are as follows:

  • $49 for 1000 email lookpus
  • $3 for 1000 email verifications
  • $40 for 1000 email enrichments

Norbert also offers four pricing plans: Valet, Butler, Advisor, and Counselor which offer you progressively more monthly lookups as the price gets higher.

ZeroBounce

Let’s shift the focus from sales outreach tools a little bit and take a look at some software that will be useful for other types of cold outreach efforts as well.

zerobounce homepage

ZeroBounce’s primary goal is to help you clean up your email lists to minimize bounce rates, hence the name.

ZeroBounce promises a 98% accuracy rate. Why not 100%? Because you can’t realistically get rid of all cold email bounces since it’s not necessarily something you control.

According to the team, it takes only about 45 minutes to validate an email list with 100,000 emails, and their API only needs three seconds to validate a single email.

In addition to simply validating emails, ZeroBounce also provides you with activity data, so you know exactly how recently there was activity, associated with a particular email address.

If you’re worried about your emails not landing in your users’ inboxes, you can also run the ZeroBounce inbox placement test, which will quickly determine exactly where your emails are going.

Besides that, ZeroBounce actively monitors whether you are on any blacklists, and will notify you if you ever get on one.

ZeroBounce pricing

ZeroBounce offers you 100 free verifications.

If you need more than that, the prices per single email start at $0.008.

The cold email deliverability toolkit comes with a separate package, and in two plans:

  • Starter: $39/month
  • Pro: $249/month

The pro package will get you drastically more inbox and mail server tests, as well as more frequent blacklist monitoring scans.

And, of course, you can also negotiate a custom enterprise package.

NeverBounce

NeverBounce is another popular package for verifying email addresses en masse.

neverbounce homepage

A little bit less robust than ZeroBounce, NeverBounce only offers three services:

  • Bulk emails list cleaning
  • Real-time email verification
  • Automated list cleaning

And while it might not seem very impressive in comparison, we want to put an accent on the last function: automated list cleaning.

You can connect your email provider or CRM directly to NeverBounce. It will automatically run a  full verification of your whole email list on a daily basis.

On average, 2.5% of all emails decay every single month, so having those emails constantly weeded out is definitely a valuable function.

NeverBounce pricing

The bigger your email list, the smaller NeverBounce’s prices become, but they start at $0.008 per email.

ClearOut

ClearOut brings something to the table that other email verification tools don’t.

clearout

Much like a lot of other tools on this list, ClearOut can help you find and validate email addresses on the go.

But there are two features that separate it from the rest.

The first one is their Google Sheets add-on, which enables you to verify emails without even having to leave your email list.

The second one is ClearoutPhone. As the name suggests, it allows you to verify email addresses very quickly or even in real time. And it works in 240+ countries!

ClearOut pricing

As is the case with most email verification tools, you get discounts on bulk credit purchases.

However, the prices start at $21/3000 credits, and $22.5/5000 credits for ClearoutPhone.

EmailListVerify

EmailListVerify can help you get rid of spam traps, hard bounces, and disposable or catch-all emails without breaking your budget.

emaillistverify homepage

Here are the exact processes that go behind EmailListVerify’s validation:

  • Domain & SMTP validation
  • Spam trap checking
  • Temporary emails cleaning
  • Catch-all domains checking
  • Syntax errors validation
  • Hard bounce checking
  • MTA validation
  • Email duplicates removal

EmailListVerify can also integrate directly with a lot of third-party cold email services, like MailChimp, Aweber, Gist, and others.

EmailListVerify pricing

The prices for EmailList Verify’s services start at $4/1000 emails, or $0.0040/email.

Best Sales Outreach Tools

As the name suggests, SalesBlink is a comprehensive cold outreach solution tailored specifically for the needs of sales professionals.

salesblink homepage

There is a lot to cover in just a short section like this, so let’s briefly walk through SalesBlink’s features.

Its built-in contact information finder can provide you with the entire domain’s contact information, even if you don’t know your prospect’s name. This includes email addresses, phone numbers, and social media profiles.

SalesBlink features a drag-and-drop campaign creator that lets you create multi-channeled outreach campaigns and combine cold calls, emails, do LinkedIn outreach, and other actions, making it easy to create a sales pipeline in a matter of minutes.

In addition to your classic cold email outreach functions, SalesBlink features an email warmup option aimed at improving your cold email deliverability.

The sales pipeline builder also has a revenue prediction feature, estimating your profits depending on how many leads are flowing from the top to the bottom of your funnel.

The tool also has a built-in meeting scheduler and provides you with access to cloud calls, allowing you truly manage each step of your funnel in one spot.

And finally, with SalesBlink’s integrated CRM, you can manage your entire sales cycle, close more deals and manage your relationships with existing customers.

The full SalesBlink package costs $99/month/user, however, if you only need certain features, you can also opt-in for just the email outreach functionality for $39/month/user, or even just the email warmup for $15/month/user.

Overloop

According to Overloop themselves, their tool is a CRM made for outbound sales rep teams.

overloop homepage

The three most important features of Overloop are cold emailing, sales email automation, and the LinkedIn extension.

Much like the previous tool on our list, Overloop features a drag & drop sales pipeline builder with built-in revenue forecasting.

Outbound sales usually involve a lot of repetitive tasks that can take a huge chunk of time out of your day. Overloop features custom workflows that allow you to automate them and spend more time actually engaging with your contacts.

The tool also comes with in-depth analytics on exactly how well your pipelines are performing and why, activities reporting, team performance, and leaderboards for increased motivation.

As for the cold email outreach functions, it features exactly what you would expect: contact information finding and verification, personalization, and results tracking.

Overloop pricing

Overloop comes with 3 plan options:

  • Lite at €39/mo
  • Standard at €79/mo
  • Advanced at €129/mo

Before you buy, you can also take the tool on a test drive with a free trial.

Saleshandy

Next on our list is a more traditional blogger outreach tool, Saleshandy.

saleshandy homepage

On the surface, Saleshandy comes with the “normal” set of blogger outreach functions:

  • Variables for faster personalized email batches
  • Automated follow-ups
  • Integration with most ISPs
  • Email finding and verification
  • LinkedIn email finder
  • Reply tracking and analytics

However, there are a few features that make it stand out among others.

The first one we want to mention is A/B testing. With it, you will be able to monitor exactly which email templates, subject lines, value propositions etc. work the best for you and create great pitches based on experience and data rather than someone’s recommendations.

Also, Salehandy features a real-time AI writing assistant that checks your pitches for the level of personalization, as well as spam words.

At the time of writing this article, Saleshandy have announced their own email warmup function, but it’s still to be released.

Saleshandy pricing

Saleshandy only features one cold emailing plan at $29/month/user. However, that only includes basic email tracking functionality like cold email scheduling, open tracking, and only one ESP integration – Gmail.

For an additional $9/month/user, you can expand its functionality to include full engagement tracking, unlimited email templates, gmail and outlook integration basic mail merge, and team activity tracking.

However, for $22/month/user, you can get all of that plus team email reporting and Zapier webhook integration.

Saleshandy also offer an add-on service: email verification for $59/30000 recipients.

Snov.io

Snov.io is a comprehensive outreach tool for generating and nurturing leads, closing deals, and managing existing and potential customers.

snov.io homepage

It includes:

  • A sales CRM
  • Email drip campaigns
  • An email finder and verifier (as well as a browser extension)
  • Integration with over 3,000 other tools and applications
  • REST API to integrate Snov.io into your platform

All these features function very similarly to some other tools we have already discussed, so we won’t get into too much more detail here.

However, there is one feature that we would like to highlight. And that is Snov.io’s Technology Checker.

What it does is allows you to search all websites that use a particular piece of technology/software. Why would it be helpful?

For example, if you run a SaaS application, you can find all companies that use your competing software, and reach out to them with your pitch.

Snov.io pricing

Snov.io’s plans range from $33/month to $615/month, with the differentiating factor being the number of email lookup credits you will be getting and your number of unique recipients.

Klenty

Klenty is a multi-channel sales tool with a heavy emphasis on automation.

klenty homepage

Klenty enables you to create sales email sequences that include LinkedIn messages, calls, and emails, all in one sales cycle. It also comes with a fully automated, 2-way data flow CRM.

Its built-in Dialer allows you to place calls and leave voicemails in one click, and its LinkedIn plugin completely takes care of all your connection requests, messages, InMails, and profile views.

Klenty’s Cadence Playbook is a great way to book more meetings and close more deals, as it helps you identify which of your sales cadences work at each intent level, and pick the right times to send the right messages to the right prospects instead of just sending everyone the same follow-ups, regardless of intent.

Klenty also allows you to seamlessly automate a lot of the tedious recurring tasks, such as:

  • Importing and exporting contacts
  • Automatically adding new leads
  • Pushing prospects to different campaigns depending on their actions
  • Tracking replies and bounces
  • automatically resuming cadences after a few days and OOO replies.

As for emails personalization and deliverability, Klenty features:

  • Email validation
  • Custom domain tracking
  • Cadence throttling
  • Random sending intervals
  • Unsubscribe links
  • Video and image personalization
  • Liquid email templates
  • Delivery windows

Klenty pricing

Klenty has three pricing options: monthly, quarterly and annually. If you choose to go annually, you will get a considerable discount for each month.

Here are the three annual plan pricing options:

  • Startup: $35/month/user
  • Growth: $60/month/user
  • Enterprise: $100/month/user

Each consecutive plan grants you access to more advanced features.

Autoklose

AutoKlose was developed as an email sales engagement platform.

autoklose homepage

And while it lacks a CRM and does not offer multi-channel functionality, its email features are solid:

  • Large database with millions of verified B2B contacts
  • Data segmentation and filtering
  • In-depth information about prospects: roles, levels, experience, email addresses, phone numbers, etc.
  • Lead scoring
  • Outreach email template A/B testing
  • Custom time intervals, customization fields, follow-ups in the same thread or a separate one

  • Contact and team management

  • Auto Kloser: $59.99/month/user
  • Advanced Closer: $69.99/month/user
  • Accelerated Closer: $99.99/month/user

Best Email Warmup Tools

Lemwarm

lemwarm homepage

It is an email warmup service.

It works by connecting you with the Lemwarm’s network of other users, and starts sending emails to themon your behalf.

From their end, the tool automatically replies to your emails. It also marks it as “not spam” if it lands in their spam folder.

From the perspective of your email service provider, these look like real conversations, opens, and replies. Over time, these increased open and reply rates start to influence your overall email reputation, increasing it, and affecting your actual email open and reply rates in your real campaigns.

Lemwarm also tracks exactly where your emails are landig, so if you notice that you’re not landing in spam anymore, you can pause the warmup.

Lemwarm pricing

Lemlist’s Lemwarm function is priced at $25/month.

However, Mailwarm offers one function that all the other tools don’t: it enables you to set a reply ratio of your own.

Sender Score assigns your mailbox a rating on a scale from 0 to 100.

According to them, if your score is lower than 70, your email reputation is very low and requires immediate attention.

If it’s between 70 and 80, your email practicies could use some optimization in order to improve your reputation.

And a score over 80 is considered to be in the “green” zone.

In addition, Sender Score offers a free blocklist lookup service, allowing you to check whether your specific IP address is on any blacklists.
