For the full link map of every page, see llms.txt. ## About SmartReach SmartReach.io is a cold email software with multichannel outreach capabilities via channels like email, LinkedIn, calls and WhatsApp. It began in 2016 as a cold outreach tool and is trusted by 5,000+ businesses across 100+ countries. Beyond cold email, it also works as a sales engagement platform. "Sales engagement" describes platforms that bring multiple outreach channels and supporting tools together so sales teams can run their entire workflow in one place. SmartReach unifies cold email software, LinkedIn automation, cold calling software, and multichannel (multi-channel drip) campaigns, alongside a B2B lead finder, an AI-powered cold email generator, email warmup, free email verification, inbox rotation, a shared inbox, and a marketplace for buying email infrastructure. Unlike platforms that charge per seat, most SmartReach plans include unlimited users and unlimited sending email accounts, with no per-seat fees. The two entry-level plans ($29 and $39 per month) are limited to one user; all higher plans are unlimited. - Homepage: https://smartreach.io/ - About: https://smartreach.io/about-us/ --- ## Homepage, Cold Email Software for Multichannel Outreach URL: https://smartreach.io/ **All-in-one cold email software for outreach across email, LinkedIn, calling, and more.** Cold email software with unlimited inboxes, inbox rotation, and built-in deliverability.

Key sections: - Effortless set-up, your shortcut to cold calling success. - Smart sales calling to crush your quota consistently. - What is cold calling software?, software that lets sales reps dial, log, and manage calls (often with a power dialer and CRM logging) as part of their outreach workflow. --- ## LinkedIn Outreach Automation URL: https://smartreach.io/linkedin-automation/ **Automate your LinkedIn outreach, end to end.** Automate LinkedIn outreach, send connection requests, messages, and profile views, then combine it with email and calls in one multichannel sequence. Key sections: - Run LinkedIn automation while you sleep. - The efficiency of automation with the flexibility of manual control. - Manage all LinkedIn conversations in one unified inbox. - Track & optimize your LinkedIn campaign. - Find decision makers easily on LinkedIn. - What is LinkedIn automation?, software that automates LinkedIn actions (connection requests, messages, profile views) to scale outreach without manual repetition. --- ## B2B Lead Finder URL: https://smartreach.io/b2b-lead-finder/ **B2B lead finder and B2B contact database with advanced search filters.** Find leads in a living B2B contact database of 300M+ contacts and 50M+ companies, searched live rather than bought as a list, with advanced filters, waterfall enrichment and one-click CRM push. Build targeted lists in minutes and send from the same platform. Key sections: - From a whole industry to a live campaign (filter, push to CRM, enrich). - A B2B contact database you search, not a list you buy (300M+ contacts, 50M+ companies). - Filters that build your target list. - You pay for contacts that land, not rows in a table. - From list to campaign, no export step. - You only pay for verified leads. --- ## LinkedIn Email Finder URL: https://smartreach.io/linkedin-email-finder/ **LinkedIn email finder and Chrome extension for verified business emails.** Find business emails for a single LinkedIn profile, a whole LinkedIn search list, or a CSV of profile URLs, then send from the same platform. There are two routes to the address. Inside SmartReach you upload a CSV of prospects carrying LinkedIn profile URLs and press Enrich, and the working business email comes back against each row in one pass. On LinkedIn itself you use ProspectDaddy, the Chrome extension that runs with SmartReach, on one profile or on a whole search list, and add the prospects it finds to a campaign from the extension. The address is derived from the prospect's name and their company, which is why what comes back is a work address rather than a personal one. Verification is not a separate step: every SmartReach campaign has email verification built in and it runs when the campaign starts, so addresses that went stale between finding and sending are caught before they bounce. Every plan includes a monthly pool of free credits, a credit is only charged when a contact is actually returned, and more can be bought if a month runs short. This page is intent-distinct from the B2B Lead Finder. The B2B Lead Finder builds a list from scratch by filtering a database of people you did not know about; the LinkedIn email finder works on people you have already identified on LinkedIn and returns their business email. Key sections: - How the LinkedIn email finder works (bulk CSV enrich, or ProspectDaddy on a profile or search list). - Then it goes straight into your campaign (no export step). - Emails that land, not bounce (work addresses, verification at campaign start, credits charged on delivery). - What happens after you find the email (multichannel sequences, CRM sync, shared inbox, one bill). - Find and send in one place. - Teams that prospect this way. --- ## Email Deliverability (Deliver4Sure) URL: https://smartreach.io/cold-email-deliverability/ **Cold email deliverability that lands you in the primary inbox.** Land in the primary inbox, not spam. Auto-verification, spam tests, inbox rotation, and warmup keep your cold email deliverability high. Key sections: - Email deliverability is why your competitors' emails get seen. - Auto-pause sending of problematic campaigns. - 360-degree deliverability: warmup, verification, inbox rotation, spam-test reports. --- ## Multichannel Platform URL: https://smartreach.io/multichannel-platform/ **Run multichannel outreach across email, LinkedIn & calls.** Reach prospects across email, LinkedIn, and calls in one conditional sequence, with WhatsApp as a guided task in the same flow, engage on the right channel at the right time. --- ## Pricing URL: https://smartreach.io/pricing/ **No per-seat pricing.

They need no signup, no email address and no account. The record tools run live DNS lookups; the spam word checker runs entirely in the visitor's browser. The SPF checker (https://smartreach.io/tools/spf-checker/) reads the SPF record published on a domain and resolves every include, a, mx, exists and redirect term it contains. Its distinguishing check is the ten-DNS-lookup limit of RFC 7208 section 4.6.4: that budget is spent across the entire include tree rather than per record, so a record listing only two includes can still exceed it if the providers behind them nest further includes. Exceeding the limit is a permerror, and most receiving servers treat a permerror as though the domain published no SPF record at all, which is why the fault usually goes unnoticed — the record still looks valid. The tool also reports duplicate SPF records (RFC 7208 section 4.5 permits exactly one, and receivers do not merge them), include loops, void lookups (capped at two), includes pointing at domains with no SPF record, deprecated ptr mechanisms, and the strength of the all policy. Where a record uses redirect= rather than its own all mechanism, the policy of the redirect target is reported as the effective policy, per RFC 7208 section 6.1. The DKIM checker (https://smartreach.io/tools/dkim-checker/) looks up the DKIM public key for a domain and selector, validates it against RFC 6376, reports the RSA key length, and flags revoked keys, testing-mode flags, CNAME delegation and wildcard records. It is explicit about a limit every DKIM tool shares and few state: DNS offers no way to enumerate the selectors a domain uses, so a checker can only ask about names it already knows. A clean scan means nothing was found at the names tried, never that the domain has no DKIM. The DMARC checker (https://smartreach.io/tools/dmarc-checker/) reads the record at _dmarc on a domain and reports the policy receivers actually apply, including one inherited from the organizational domain when a subdomain publishes no record of its own, and whether the aggregate reports the record asks for can be delivered at all. The email authentication checker (https://smartreach.io/tools/email-authentication-checker/) reads all three records on one domain in a single pass. The combination is what it exists to show: DMARC is a verdict on SPF and DKIM, so a policy of p=reject on a domain whose SPF is broken refuses that domain's own mail, and no single-record check can see that. Three generators build the records rather than read them. The SPF record generator (https://smartreach.io/tools/spf-generator/) assembles one valid record from a catalogue of sending services and prices the ten-lookup budget live, resolving each provider's own published record rather than using a stored estimate, and refuses the terms that weaken a record: +all, ?all and the deprecated ptr mechanism. The DMARC record generator (https://smartreach.io/tools/dmarc-generator/) builds the record published at _dmarc and checks, against live DNS while the address is being typed, that each report destination is authorised to receive reports under RFC 7489 section 7.1. When a rua address is on a domain you do not own, that domain must publish a record at yourdomain._report._dmarc.theirdomain before any receiver is permitted to send anything; without it receivers must not send, which is the most common reason a correct-looking DMARC record produces no reports at all. It reads the domain's SPF in the same pass and will not hand over an enforcing policy without stating what it can and cannot see. The DKIM record generator (https://smartreach.io/tools/dkim-generator/) generates an RSA or Ed25519 key pair in the visitor's own browser using the Web Crypto API, so no private key is transmitted, stored or logged, and builds the TXT record published at selector._domainkey. Its first question is who signs the mail, because most email platforms generate the key pair themselves and provide no way to install one you made: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Brevo, Mailchimp, Zoho, Klaviyo and HubSpot all do, and for their customers a generated key authenticates nothing and can break signing if it lands on the selector their signer already uses. Amazon SES is the exception among large platforms, accepting a supplied private key through BYODKIM, and a self-hosted signer such as Postfix with OpenDKIM, Rspamd, Exim or PowerMTA needs a key nobody will hand you. Three further checks are unusual in the category: the selector is checked against live DNS before a working key can be overwritten, every record carries h=sha256 because the h tag's default permits the SHA-1 that RFC 8301 deprecated for DKIM in 2018, and after publishing the tool reads the record back and compares it against the key it generated, which separates a value the DNS panel truncated at the 255-octet character-string limit from a different key, a revoked key, or a record that has not propagated yet. A match proves the record landed intact; it cannot prove the signer holds the matching private half, because the private key is not in DNS. The spam word checker (https://smartreach.io/tools/spam-word-checker/) reads the subject line and body of an email and reports the wording and formatting that rule-based spam filters weight against it. It carries 209 phrases in 9 groups, grouped by why each group is weighted rather than alphabetically, and the page publishes the full list with the rewrite each group calls for — manufactured urgency, money and discount language, stacked "free" constructions, guarantees and risk reversal, superlatives, pressure calls to action, fake familiarity and false threading, opportunity and recruitment-scheme language, and the legacy consumer-spam vocabulary that is kept and marked as rarely relevant to B2B — and adds checks no word list performs: block capitals excluding business acronyms, repeated exclamation or question marks, emoji in a subject line, link shorteners, bare IP links, plain http links, link density against message length, zero-width and bidirectional characters, Latin look-alike letters from the Cyrillic and Greek blocks, a Re: or Fwd: prefix on a first-touch subject line, and the absence of any opt-out. Its distinguishing decision is what it refuses to do: it returns named findings with the reason and the rewrite for each, and never a score, a percentage or an inbox-placement prediction. Placement is decided mainly by four signals that are not present in the text — authentication, complaint rate, domain and IP reputation, and recipient engagement — so a number computed from vocabulary reads as a prediction that nothing seeing only the message can make. The page ranks wording fifth of those five signals and links to the authentication tools for the four above it. Since February 2024 Gmail and Yahoo have required bulk senders to publish SPF, DKIM and DMARC, offer one-click unsubscribe under RFC 8058, and keep spam complaints under 0.3%; neither provider's requirements mention vocabulary. The tool also declines to flag ordinary English: a single "free", one exclamation mark, and acronyms such as CEO, ROI and B2B are not findings. The check runs entirely in the visitor's browser and there is no endpoint for the text to be sent to, so nothing pasted in is transmitted, stored or logged. The email open rate calculator (https://smartreach.io/tools/open-rate-calculator/) works out open rate as unique opens divided by delivered messages, where delivered is messages sent minus bounces, and shows the same figure on the sent basis alongside it. The denominator is the distinguishing decision: every published open-rate benchmark is quoted against delivered, and dividing by sent folds the bounce rate into the open rate, understating it by more the worse the list is. It also calculates delivery rate, reply rate, click rate and click-to-open rate from the same five inputs, and puts a 95% confidence interval on each using the Wilson score method rather than the normal approximation, which returns impossible bounds below zero or above one at the small sample sizes cold campaigns actually run at. An open count larger than the delivered count is reported as a fault, usually total opens supplied where unique opens were needed, rather than rendered as a rate above 100%. What the tool refuses to do is the substance of it: it publishes no open-rate benchmark and offers no correction for Apple Mail Privacy Protection, which has pre-fetched tracking pixels by default since 2021 and which Apple describes as preventing senders from seeing whether a message was opened. The resulting inflation depends on how much of a list uses Apple Mail and is not knowable from a sender's own figures, so any corrected number would be a guess. Reply rate is benchmarked instead, by industry, against SmartReach.io first-party data from the State of Cold Email 2026 report, which analysed 40M+ emails across 5,000+ campaigns and reports no open rate at all. In that dataset agency senders reply at roughly 10% against about 4 to 6% for in-house teams. Two further tools sit on the same page. The first tests whether the difference between two campaigns is statistically significant, with a two-proportion z-test at 95% rather than a comparison of confidence intervals, which is far more conservative and would call real differences noise; it defaults to reply rate rather than open rate, because two segments can differ on open rate purely through their share of Apple Mail recipients, and it reports an underpowered test separately from one that genuinely found no difference, since a small test that found nothing has not shown that the two are the same. The second runs the report's agency funnel backwards, converting a target such as ten meetings into the replies, delivered messages and sends that target implies at the published benchmark of roughly 1.2% of delivered messages booking a meeting, with a per-industry override. The calculation runs entirely in the visitor's browser with no endpoint to send to, so campaign figures are not transmitted, stored or logged, and results are shared through the URL fragment, which no browser transmits to a server. The CTOR calculator (https://smartreach.io/tools/ctor-calculator/) works out click-to-open rate, the share of the people who opened an email who then clicked a link in it, as unique clicks divided by unique opens. That is a different figure from click-through rate, which divides the same clicks by delivered messages, and the distinction is the denominator rather than the numerator. The page shows click-to-open, click rate and open rate together with the exact identity that links them, which is that click rate equals open rate multiplied by click-to-open rate, because the opens cancel. Each rate carries a 95% Wilson score confidence interval, and the small-sample threshold is measured in opens rather than in delivered messages, since this rate divides by opens and a campaign delivering several thousand messages can still be computing it on fewer than two hundred. The tool publishes no click-to-open benchmark and offers no correction for the distortions in it, and the reason is structural: click-to-open is the only rate in a campaign report with a machine counting both halves of it, and the two push in opposite directions. Apple Mail Privacy Protection has pre-fetched tracking pixels by default since 2021 and Apple describes the feature as preventing senders from seeing whether a message was opened, so those opens inflate the denominator and push click-to-open down while pushing the open rate up. Mail security gateways, of which Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Safe Links is the documented example, scan and rewrite the URLs in inbound mail during mail flow, and a link followed by a scanner is logged by the sender's tracking as a click, which inflates the numerator and pushes the same figure up. The two are different populations, they do not cancel, and how much of each a sender has depends on who is on the list rather than on the email. What the tool derives instead are the two tells available from a sender's own report. The first is clicks per clicker, total clicks divided by unique clicks: software checking a message follows every link in it, so it contributes one clicker and one click per link, and a ratio landing on the number of links in the email is the shape that leaves. The second is clicks arriving with no replies behind them, which is consistent with automated clicking because clicks and replies come from the same interest. Both are reported as hints rather than findings, and neither changes a number. More clicks than opens is reported as a fault rather than rendered as a rate above 100%, with its three causes named: total clicks supplied where unique clicks were needed, blocked or stripped images where the open never registered while the link still worked, and gateway scanning of a message nobody opened. Two further tools sit on the same page. The first splits a change in click rate into the part the open rate caused and the part click-to-open caused, using a symmetric decomposition whose two contributions sum exactly to the whole change, because click-to-open rises whenever fewer people open and the same people keep clicking, which means a dashboard reports a shrinking audience as an improving message. The second tests whether the difference between two campaigns is statistically significant with a two-proportion z-test at 95%, reporting an underpowered test separately from one that genuinely found no difference. For cold outreach specifically the page states that neither click metric is the one to steer by, since many first-touch messages carry no link at all and both figures are counted by software, and points at reply rate, positive reply rate and meetings booked, which are what the State of Cold Email 2026 report measures. The calculation runs entirely in the visitor's browser with no endpoint to send to, so campaign figures are not transmitted, stored or logged, and results are shared through the URL fragment, which no browser transmits to a server. The SPF lookup cost table (https://smartreach.io/tools/spf-lookup-costs/) is a dated reference of how many of SPF's ten DNS lookups each major provider's include actually spends, measured against live DNS rather than estimated. ## Compare SmartReach.io publishes head-to-head comparisons at https://smartreach.io/compare/. Each page prices a realistic team configuration rather than quoting entry prices, and each states plainly where the other platform is the better choice. SmartReach.io vs Reply.io (https://smartreach.io/compare/reply-io/). Reply.io bills per user on its Email Volume and Multichannel plans, at $49 and $89 per user per month respectively on annual billing, and charges $69 per month per connected LinkedIn account and $29 per calls account. SmartReach.io has no per-seat pricing, charges $29 per month per LinkedIn account and $19 per calling seat, and includes email verification, which Reply.io meters from $20 per 5,000. For a three-user team with five LinkedIn accounts and calling, the totals are about $405 a month on Reply.io and about $301 on SmartReach.io. Reply.io is the better choice for an autonomous AI SDR, a contact database of roughly 1 billion records, a SOC 2 report, white-labelling and pre-warmed mailboxes, none of which SmartReach.io offers. Competitor pricing checked 2026-09-23. SmartReach.io vs Saleshandy (https://smartreach.io/compare/saleshandy/). Neither platform charges per seat, so the comparison turns on what each one meters instead. Saleshandy Starter is $41 a month for 2,000 active prospects, 6,000 emails and one user; Pro is $99 for 30,000 prospects, 100,000 emails and 10 users; Scale is $189 for unlimited prospects, 200,000 emails and unlimited users. SmartReach.io Email Outreach Basic is $29 for 1,000 prospects and 10,000 emails, Plus is $89 for 50,000 prospects with unlimited emails and unlimited users, and Pro is $199 for 100,000. At the tier most teams buy, SmartReach.io Plus is $10 a month cheaper than Saleshandy Pro, carries 20,000 more active prospects, and removes the monthly email ceiling that Saleshandy applies on every plan it sells, including 200,000 on Scale. Saleshandy is the better choice for a solo sender who wants prospect volume at the entry tier, where its 2,000 prospects for $41 beat 1,000 for $29, and for a team that wants a larger bundled contact database, which Saleshandy publishes at 852M+ contacts against 300M+ at SmartReach.io. Saleshandy also provisions mailboxes from $2.99 each per month. Neither tool automates LinkedIn steps inside a sequence except SmartReach.io, which does so at $29 per connected LinkedIn account per month. Competitor pricing checked 2026-09-28. SmartReach.io vs Smartlead (https://smartreach.io/compare/smartlead/). Neither platform charges per seat and both give unlimited sending mailboxes, so the comparison turns on channels and on where calling starts. Smartlead Base is $39 a month for 2,000 stored contacts and 6,000 emails; Pro is $94 for 30,000 contacts and 90,000 emails; Unlimited Smart is $174 for unlimited contacts and 150,000 emails and is the first plan with calling; Unlimited Prime is $379 for 500,000 emails. Smartlead has no LinkedIn or WhatsApp step on any plan. SmartReach.io Email Outreach Plus is $89 for 50,000 prospects contacted a month with unlimited emails and unlimited users (Smartlead caps contacts stored and publishes no monthly contacted cap, so the two allowances are not like for like), and its Sales Engagement plans run email, LinkedIn and calls in one sequence from $39, with LinkedIn automation at $29 per connected account. Smartlead is the better choice for a team that wants lead data in volume, since its SmartProspect database gives 30,000 verified emails a month on Pro for a flat monthly add-on and 50,000 free on Unlimited Smart; for a calling team already on a $174 plan, since its SmartDialer adds parallel dialling, transcription and live AI coaching that SmartReach.io does not offer; and for agencies that need white-labelled client workspaces at $29 each.
