    The short answer

    Outreach publishes no price at all, while Saleshandy publishes Starter at $34 a month billed annually at $408 a year. For a cold outbound run the order is usually Saleshandy first, because it owns the mailboxes and the send, then Outreach once reply volume across several reps makes orchestration the real bottleneck rather than delivery.

    Key takeaways

    • Outreach publishes four packages, Amplify Essentials, Core, Plus and Pro, with AI credit allowances of 10,000, 25,000, 50,000 and 100,000, and prices none of them.
    • Saleshandy publishes Starter at $34 a month billed annually at $408 a year, Pro at $76 and $912, and Scale at $149 and $1,788, with unlimited email accounts on every tier.
    • Per plan, not per seat. Starter is $34 a month billed annually at $408 a year, Pro is $76 and $912, and Scale is $149 and $1,788.
    • Saleshandy's pricing page publishes warmup, rotation or a send ceiling and Outreach's publishes none of them, so the sending gap in a cold run is closed by Saleshandy.

    Outreach vs Saleshandy: Cross-Category Comparison

    Saleshandy's Starter plan is $34 a month billed annually at $408 a year, and every Saleshandy tier connects as many sending mailboxes as you want with no per-inbox fee. Outreach's four packages each carry an AI credit allowance and a Request pricing button, and its pricing page says nothing at all about mailboxes.

    That difference is not an oversight on either side. Saleshandy sells the sending layer of a cold outbound run, and Outreach sells the layer above it. Which one to buy first depends entirely on which of those two a team is currently missing.

    Why Compare These Two Tools

    Email sending platforms are bought to get cold mail delivered at volume, while sales engagement platforms are bought to run the whole multi-channel workflow around a rep: email, phone and social, plus the pipeline work behind it. The comparison comes down to which of those two gaps is currently costing the team more, and whether closing one makes the other cheaper or more expensive.

    Outreach is an enterprise sales engagement platform built around multi-channel sequences, AI-powered deal insights, revenue forecasting and conversation intelligence for outbound teams at scale.

    Saleshandy is a cold email outreach platform with unlimited sending mailboxes, AI-powered sequences, built-in warmup and a B2B database it publishes as 852M+ contacts and 42M+ companies.

    Where Each Tool Fits In Your Workflow

    1. Step 1Sending

      Saleshandy owns the mailboxes and the send. Its page meters active prospects in live sequences, plus a monthly send ceiling.

    2. Step 2Replies

      A reply arrives in a real inbox and has to be read, answered and routed to a person.

    3. Step 3Orchestration

      Outreach owns what happens next: tasks, calls, pipeline and forecasting. Its page publishes seats and AI credits, with no published figure against either.

    The two tools sit at different points of one outbound run. This is the order the work happens in.

    What Each Side Does In A Cold Outbound Run

    A cold outbound run splits cleanly into two jobs, and these two products are built for different ones.

    The sending job is domains, mailboxes, reputation and the send itself. Saleshandy connects unlimited sending mailboxes on every tier with no per-inbox fee, and runs an eight-provider waterfall for the addresses with catch-all verification included at no extra credit cost.

    The orchestration job starts at the reply. Somebody has to read it, answer it, book the call, log the outcome and decide what the next action is, across however many reps are working the account. Outreach's pricing page lists Multi-Channel Engagement and Sequences from the Amplify Core package up, and publishes nothing at all about mailboxes, warmup, inbox rotation or a monthly send ceiling. Those words appear on none of the three Outreach surfaces fetched for this comparison, so that page answers no question a cold sending plan needs to ask.

    There is a pricing consequence worth naming. Saleshandy meters active prospects, meaning the contacts kept in live sequences at once rather than the messages sent to them. That allowance is built for a multi-step sequence, and RevenueFlow does not run one: house doctrine is one message per campaign, with no thread replies and no bump step behind it. So the free follow-ups are worth nothing on a RevenueFlow wave, and the meter behaves as a straight per-person charge. That is simpler to plan with, and it means the headline volume on the plan card overstates what a single-message wave will actually use.

    The last piece is measurement, and it belongs to neither tool. Meetings are qualified against criteria agreed in writing before launch, which is what stops a stack discussion turning into an argument about whose dashboard is right.

    Outreach publishes four packages and prices none of them. Every card carries a Request pricing button, so the AI credit allowance is the only quantity on the page. The packages also ladder API calls, custom objects and knowledge storage: Essentials through Plus list 250,000 API Calls, 5 Custom Objects and 500 MB Knowledge, and Pro lists 500,000 API Calls, 10 Custom Objects and 750 MB Knowledge. Nothing on the page speaks to mailbox warmup, inbox rotation or a monthly send ceiling.

    Saleshandy meters active prospects, which it defines as the contacts you can keep in live sequences at once, and stores as many as you like beyond that. Email accounts are unlimited on every tier with no per-inbox fee, which is the single most useful line on that page for a multi-domain setup. Lead finder credits are the separate meter, free on Starter and then 1,500, 4,000 and 8,000 a month, and the page says one credit reveals a verified email while six reveal a phone number.

    How The Two Meters Differ

    The two bills move on different units, which is the part a feature comparison hides. Outreach is priced on seats and AI credits, with no published figure against either. Saleshandy is priced on active prospects in live sequences, plus a monthly send ceiling.

    The practical test is what happens when the team grows by one person and when the wave grows by one domain. Those two changes cost different amounts on each page, and a stack that is cheap at two seats and one domain is not automatically cheap at six and four.

    What A Two-Tool Stack Costs

    Here is illustrative arithmetic, invented as a worked example rather than taken from any client. Two people share the work, the wave is about 2,000 prospects a month, and house doctrine puts one message in front of each of them, so it is about 2,000 sends a month.

    LineWhat the page publishes
    Saleshandy tier that fitsStarter, $34 /month billed annually at $408 /year
    Saleshandy cost$34 a month, $408 a year
    Outreach costNo published figure

    Starter lists 2,000 active prospects and 6,000 emails sent a month, which covers the wave. Saleshandy prices the plan rather than the seat, so the second person does not change the figure.

    Paying monthly the same tier is $41 /mo, which is $492 a year, so the annual commitment saves $84.

    Outreach's column stays empty on purpose. All four Amplify packages carry a Request pricing button and no figure, so there is no honest number to put here. What can be budgeted for is the shape: seats, plus an AI credit allowance that ladders 10,000, 25,000, 50,000 and 100,000 across the four packages.

    Where The Two Actually Overlap

    A cross-category comparison usually assumes the two tools barely overlap, and that is worth checking rather than assuming. On these two pages it mostly holds. Saleshandy lists the sending side: unlimited email accounts, a monthly send ceiling and built-in warmup. Outreach lists the layer above it: agents and AI assists, conversation intelligence, deal and pipeline management, forecasting and an AI credit ladder.

    The one place they genuinely meet is sequencing, because both products can put a series of steps in front of a person. That matters less than it looks for cold outbound, since RevenueFlow sends one message per campaign with no bump step behind it. Read every line above as what each page lists, not as a claim that the other vendor could not do it.

    When To Choose Outreach

    Section illustration: When to Choose Outreach

    • Your biggest gap is in outreach orchestration
    • You already have a solid cold email platform and need specialized multi-channel sales outreach capabilities
    • You need enterprise-grade multi-channel sales outreach features
    • Your team's primary bottleneck is multi-channel sales outreach

    When To Choose Saleshandy

    • Your biggest gap is in campaign execution
    • You already have a sales engagement platform and need better cold email outreach
    • You want an affordable entry point ($34 /month billed annually)
    • Your team's primary bottleneck is cold email outreach

    Do You Need Both, And In Which Order

    Saleshandy first, on this evidence. It publishes the two things a cold wave actually needs: unlimited sending mailboxes with no per-inbox fee, and a monthly send ceiling you can plan against. Outreach publishes neither, and its pricing page does not claim to.

    The two genuinely stack rather than compete. Saleshandy has no forecasting, no deal management and no conversation intelligence; Outreach's packages are built around exactly those. So the sequence is sending first, orchestration when reply volume justifies the seat cost. Buying Outreach before there is a reply flow to organise is buying the second half of a workflow whose first half is missing.

    Outreach's pricing page publishes
    • Four packages: Amplify Essentials, Core, Plus and Pro
    • An AI credit ladder: 10,000, 25,000, 50,000 and 100,000
    • API calls, custom objects and knowledge storage per package
    • A Request pricing button on every package
    • No price, no send ceiling, no warmup or rotation row
    Saleshandy's pricing page publishes
    • Three tiers: $34, $76 and $149 /month billed annually
    • Annual charges: $408, $912 and $1,788 /year
    • Active prospects: 2,000, 30,000 and unlimited
    • Emails sent / month: 6,000, 100,000 and 200,000
    • Unlimited email accounts with no per-inbox fee on every tier
    What each vendor puts on its own pricing page, in that page's own wording. A line missing from one column means that page does not list it, which is not a claim that the vendor cannot do it.

    Using Both Together

    Section illustration: Using Both Together

    Plenty of teams end up running both, and the join is not complicated: Saleshandy owns the list, the mailboxes and the send, and Outreach owns everything that happens after a reply lands. The overlapping integrations listed above are the plumbing that makes that split workable, since both sides can read and write to the same CRM record.

    The join to get right is the handover. A reply is the moment the run stops being a sending problem and starts being a people problem, so whatever routes replies to a human has to be fast and has to be the same every time. That is a process decision rather than a licence decision, and it is worth settling before either tool is configured.

    Rolling Out Without Breaking Deliverability

    Sequencing the rollout is what keeps the avoidable costs down. Buying the orchestration layer before there is a reply flow to orchestrate produces seats nobody logs into, and switching the sending layer mid-wave costs inbox placement that took weeks to build.

    Rolling the two in without breaking what already works
    • Yes: Buy the sending side first and prove inbox placement on a small wave
    • Yes: Confirm what the tier includes for warmup, before the first send rather than after it
    • Yes: Write the qualified-meeting criteria down and agree them before launch
    • Yes: Send one message per campaign, with no bump step behind it
    • Depends: Point Outreach at replies only once there are replies to route
    • No: Run two sequencers against the same list
    A rollout order that protects inbox placement. The last row is the one that costs the most when it is ignored.

    The last row is the one teams get wrong. Two sequencers pointed at the same list will double-contact people, and on shared sending infrastructure that damage is not confined to one campaign. Pick one system to own the send, and let the other one read.

    The Decision In One Line

    Saleshandy if mail is not going out reliably today. Outreach if it is, and the replies are being lost. If a team cannot say which of those is true, that is a measurement problem, and it is cheaper to fix than either licence.

    If you would rather have this run for you, RevenueFlow books qualified meetings on a pay-per-meeting basis and publishes client results.

    Pricing and features are taken from the vendors' own pages. Verify current terms with the vendor before relying on them.

    Questions

    Frequently asked questions.

    Frequently asked questions
    Does a team need both Outreach and Saleshandy?
    Sending first. Saleshandy owns the mailboxes and the send, and Outreach's pricing page publishes nothing about warmup, rotation or send volume. Add Outreach once several reps are working replies and the cost of disorganised follow-up exceeds the seat cost. Buying the orchestration layer before there is a reply flow buys dashboards nobody opens.
    How does Outreach pricing actually work?
    It does not publish prices. The page shows four packages, Amplify Essentials, Core, Plus and Pro, each with a Request pricing button and an AI credit allowance of 10,000, 25,000, 50,000 or 100,000. Those credits, plus API calls, custom objects and knowledge storage, are the only quantities on the page to model a quote against.
    How does Saleshandy pricing actually work?
    Per plan, not per seat. Starter is $34 a month billed annually at $408 a year, Pro is $76 and $912, and Scale is $149 and $1,788. Paying monthly those become $41, $99 and $189. Active prospects are metered at 2,000, 30,000 and unlimited, and email accounts are unlimited on every tier.
    Which one should a new outbound programme buy first?
    A new programme starts with Saleshandy, because its price is published and it owns the part of the run that decides whether mail arrives. Outreach is the later purchase, made when a revenue team is large enough that cadence, coaching and pipeline workflow are the constraint. Ask for its per-seat rate and seat minimum early, since a quote takes time.
