# SmartReach

> SmartReach.io is a cold email software with multichannel outreach capabilities via channels like email, LinkedIn, calls and WhatsApp. It combines cold email, cold calling, LinkedIn automation and WhatsApp outreach with built-in lead finding, email deliverability, warmup, verification, AI copywriting, and an email-infrastructure marketplace, built for B2B sales, agency, and recruitment teams.

Beyond cold email, SmartReach.io 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 several solutions, including cold email software, LinkedIn automation, cold calling software, WhatsApp outreach, and multichannel (multi-channel drip) campaigns, alongside built-in features such as 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, while all higher plans are unlimited. SmartReach is trusted by 5,000+ small businesses and agencies.

## Free tools

Ungated, no signup, no email required. Four read what a domain already publishes; three build the records; one reads the text of a message; two work out campaign rates; one is a dated reference table. Every lookup runs against live DNS at the moment it is asked.

- [Free Tools index](https://smartreach.io/tools/): The index of every free tool below, plus a combined check that reads SPF, DKIM and DMARC on one domain in a single pass.
- [Free Email Authentication Checker](https://smartreach.io/tools/email-authentication-checker/): Reads SPF, DKIM and DMARC on a domain together and reports which of the three are missing, which are broken, and which are published but not enforcing anything. The combination is what matters: a DMARC policy of reject on a domain whose SPF is broken refuses that domain's own mail, which no single-record check can see.
- [Free SPF Checker](https://smartreach.io/tools/spf-checker/): Reads the SPF record on any domain, resolves the entire include tree, and reports whether it stays inside the ten DNS lookups RFC 7208 allows. The limit is spent across the whole tree rather than per record, so a record with only two includes can exceed it; going over is a permerror and most receivers then treat the domain as having no SPF at all. Also detects duplicate records, include loops, void lookups, dead includes, deprecated ptr mechanisms and weak all policies.
- [Free DKIM Checker](https://smartreach.io/tools/dkim-checker/): Looks up the DKIM public key on a domain and selector, validates it against RFC 6376, reports RSA key length, and flags revoked keys, testing-mode flags and CNAME delegation. DNS cannot enumerate selectors, so a scan reports what was found at the names tried and never that a domain has no DKIM.
- [Free DMARC Checker](https://smartreach.io/tools/dmarc-checker/): Reads the record at _dmarc on a domain, reports the policy actually applied including one inherited from the organizational domain, and checks whether the aggregate reports it asks for can be delivered at all.
- [Free SPF Record Generator](https://smartreach.io/tools/spf-generator/): Builds one valid SPF record from a catalogue of sending services, counting the ten-lookup budget of RFC 7208 section 4.6.4 live from each provider's own published record rather than from an estimate. Loads the record a domain already publishes so the result is an edit rather than a second record, and refuses the terms that weaken a record: +all, ?all and the deprecated ptr mechanism.
- [Free DMARC Record Generator](https://smartreach.io/tools/dmarc-generator/): Builds the TXT record published at _dmarc, and verifies against live DNS that each report address is authorised to receive reports under RFC 7489 section 7.1, which is the most common reason a correct-looking DMARC record produces no reports at all. Reads the domain's SPF first and will not hand over an enforcing policy silently.
- [Free DKIM Record Generator](https://smartreach.io/tools/dkim-generator/): Generates a DKIM key pair in the browser using the Web Crypto API, so no private key is ever transmitted, and builds the record published at selector._domainkey. It asks first who signs the mail, because Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Brevo, Mailchimp, Zoho, Klaviyo and HubSpot all generate the key pair themselves and provide no way to install one you made; Amazon SES accepts a supplied key through BYODKIM, and a self-hosted signer such as Postfix with OpenDKIM, Rspamd, Exim or PowerMTA needs one. It checks the selector against live DNS before a working key is overwritten, emits h=sha256 on every record because the tag's default permits the SHA-1 that RFC 8301 deprecated, and reads the record back after publishing to separate a value the DNS panel truncated at the 255-octet limit from a different or revoked key.
- [Free 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: manufactured urgency, guarantees, pressure calls to action, block capitals, repeated punctuation, emoji in the subject, link shorteners, bare IP links, zero-width characters, Latin look-alike letters from other alphabets, a Re: or Fwd: prefix on a first-touch subject, and a missing opt-out. It returns named findings with the rewrite for each and deliberately no score, because inbox placement is decided mainly by authentication, complaint rate, domain reputation and engagement, none of which is present in the text: wording is the last of the five signals, and Gmail's and Yahoo's published sender requirements do not mention it at all. The check runs entirely in the visitor's browser with no endpoint to send to, so nothing pasted in is transmitted, stored or logged.
- [Free Email Open Rate Calculator](https://smartreach.io/tools/open-rate-calculator/): Works out email open rate as unique opens divided by delivered messages, where delivered is sent minus bounces, and shows the same figure on the sent basis beside it because dividing by sent folds the bounce rate into the answer. Also calculates delivery, reply, click and click-to-open rates, each with a 95% Wilson score confidence interval so a rate from a small campaign is presented as a range rather than a measurement, and reports an open count larger than the delivered count as a fault rather than rendering an impossible rate. It deliberately publishes no open-rate benchmark: Apple Mail Privacy Protection has pre-fetched tracking pixels by default since 2021, Apple states that it prevents senders seeing whether a message was opened, and the resulting inflation depends on list composition and cannot be measured from a sender's own figures, so no correction is offered either. Reply rate is benchmarked instead, by industry, against SmartReach.io first-party data from the State of Cold Email 2026 report. The page also answers two questions a single rate cannot: whether the difference between two campaigns is statistically significant, using a two-proportion z-test at 95% that reports an underpowered test separately from one that found nothing, so the same three-point gap reads as a result at 2,000 delivered and as noise at 20; and what a target costs, running that report's agency funnel backwards to turn a number of meetings into the replies, delivered messages and sends it implies. The calculation runs entirely in the visitor's browser, so campaign figures are not transmitted, stored or logged.
- [Free CTOR Calculator](https://smartreach.io/tools/ctor-calculator/): Works out click-to-open rate as unique clicks divided by unique opens, which is a different figure from click-through rate, where the same clicks are divided by delivered messages. It shows both alongside the open rate and the exact identity linking them, that click rate equals open rate multiplied by click-to-open rate, with a 95% Wilson score confidence interval on each and the small-sample threshold measured in opens rather than delivered, because a campaign delivering thousands can still be computing this rate on a couple of hundred. It publishes no click-to-open benchmark and offers no correction, because click-to-open is the only rate in a campaign report with a machine in both halves of it, pushing it in opposite directions: Apple Mail Privacy Protection has pre-fetched tracking pixels by default since 2021, inflating the opens in the denominator, while mail security gateways such as Microsoft Defender Safe Links scan and rewrite the links in inbound mail during mail flow, and a link followed by a scanner is logged as a click, inflating the numerator. The two are different populations, they do not cancel, and neither is knowable from a sender's own figures. What the tool derives instead are the two tells a sender can get from their own report: total clicks divided by unique clicks landing on the number of links in the email, which is the shape a gateway that opens everything leaves, and clicks arriving with no replies behind them. More clicks than opens is reported as a fault rather than as a rate above 100%, naming its three causes, which are total clicks supplied where unique clicks were needed, blocked images where the open never registered while the link still worked, and gateway scanning. The page also answers the question the metric is most often misread on, splitting a change in click rate into the part the open rate caused and the part click-to-open caused, since click-to-open rises whenever fewer people open and the same people click, and it tests whether the difference between two campaigns is statistically significant with a two-proportion z-test at 95%. The calculation runs entirely in the visitor's browser, so campaign figures are not transmitted, stored or logged.
- [Free Email Blacklist Checker](https://smartreach.io/tools/blacklist-checker/): Looks up a domain, an IPv4 address or an email address in the DNS blocklists that receiving mail servers consult before accepting a message, and reports which lists it appears on. An email address is reduced to its domain. A domain is checked against the URI blocklists governing whether links to it are accepted, SURBL and URIBL; the addresses behind the domain, taken from its MX and A records, are checked against SpamCop, Barracuda, UCEPROTECT Level 1, SPFBL, Mailspike and blocklist.de. Every listing carries the operator's own removal page, which is the only place a delisting can be requested. Each address is reported with the network that owns it, as an autonomous system number and operator name, together with its reverse DNS, because a listing on an email provider's shared sending range is that provider's to resolve rather than the sender's. What separates it from a category that advertises coverage in the hundreds is what it refuses to report: Spamhaus ZEN and Spamhaus DBL answer NXDOMAIN to lookups arriving through a public DNS resolver, and that response is indistinguishable from a genuine not-listed result, so they are reported as NOT CHECKED rather than as clean and linked to Spamhaus's own lookup instead. A checker that counts that answer as a pass shows a clean Spamhaus result for every domain it is ever asked about, and the reader cannot tell. A list count is not a measure of coverage either: some widely advertised blocklists have shut down entirely and a dead zone returns a clean answer forever, and published totals are further padded with zones that are not blocklists at all, such as bogon and routing-information lists that no receiver rejects mail on. Not every answer from a blocklist is a listing, and both exceptions are interpreted rather than counted as hits: URIBL returns 127.0.0.1 for domains on its whitelist, which is how google.com and microsoft.com respond and which is reported as whitelisted rather than as a bare pass, and SPFBL answers on a reputation scale where only 127.0.0.2 is a block. The reason for a listing is read from the list's own TXT record rather than from a hardcoded table of return codes. A refused or failed lookup is distinguished from both a listing and a clean result. The page also explains the difference between an address blocklist, which catalogues the server a message was transmitted from, and a domain blocklist, which catalogues the name that appeared as a link inside it, and states what the check cannot see: a clean result is not a deliverability verdict, and the address a campaign actually sends from usually belongs to the email provider and is not published in the sender's DNS at all.
- [Free DNS Record Checker](https://smartreach.io/tools/dns-checker/): Reads the A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CNAME and CAA records on a domain and reports the TTL governing how long a stale copy of each can survive. The MX, TXT and NS records are queried against six independent public resolvers in parallel, Google, Cloudflare, OpenDNS, AdGuard, Control D and DNS.SB, and the check names which of them returned a different answer, which is what a DNS change part-way through propagating looks like from outside. Those three types get the full panel because nobody geo-routes them, so a disagreement is unambiguous; address records are read from two, because a site behind any CDN is meant to return different addresses to resolvers in different places. The claim is kept narrow: agreement between resolvers is evidence from caches, not proof of global propagation, and the number of resolvers that actually answered is shown beside every record. What each individual resolver returned is always available rather than summarised away. DNS-over-HTTPS provides no way to query a domain's own nameservers, so no answer is authoritative; it reports what public resolvers currently hold, which is what receivers and browsers actually see. Beyond listing records it checks them against each other and reports the faults that exist only in combination: a CNAME at the domain apex, which RFC 1034 makes the only permissible record at a name and which therefore voids the MX and TXT records published beside it; an MX record pointing at an alias rather than a host with an address, contrary to RFC 2181; an MX naming a host with no A or AAAA record behind it, so nothing can be connected to; two SPF records, which RFC 7208 makes a permerror that cancels out to no SPF policy rather than adding together; and a domain with no MX record, where RFC 5321 requires senders to fall back to the A record and mail is silently delivered to the web server. For each mail host it reports the autonomous system number and network operator that owns the address behind it, and whether that address has a reverse DNS record. It reads the MTA-STS, TLS-RPT and BIMI transport policies, and reports a domain publishing an MTA-STS record whose policy host does not resolve as a fault, because senders honouring MTA-STS then cache nothing and fall back to opportunistic TLS while the protection reads as switched on. A null MX record is recognised as the deliberate RFC 7505 declaration that a domain accepts no mail, not reported as a fault. A record that could not be read is always distinguished from a record that is absent, so a resolver outage never reads as a missing record. Results are addressable: the domain checked is written into the page URL, so a result can be linked to and re-runs live when opened.
- [SPF Lookup Cost Table](https://smartreach.io/tools/spf-lookup-costs/): A dated reference of how many of SPF's ten DNS lookups each major provider's include actually spends, resolved from live DNS rather than estimated.
