Overview

Smartlead is a cold email platform helping sales teams scale outbound campaigns, managing the revenue cycle from prospecting through deal closure in one interface. SmartAgents are AI agents that research leads, write personalized emails, update the CRM, and proactively improve deliverability – automating what used to require several separate manual steps.

A SmartAI Bot creates persona-specific, high-converting sales copy with a claimed 100% categorization accuracy, while an AI Reply Manager prioritizes hot leads, triggers next steps, and syncs everything back to the CRM automatically. A warm-up engine simulates human-like opens, reads, and replies, with unlimited mailboxes, dedicated IP infrastructure, a unified Master Inbox, SmartDialer phone integration, and full API/webhook support.

Smartlead targets sales teams and SDRs, agencies managing multiple clients, and B2B companies running outbound campaigns, already used by 100,000+ businesses. Basic: $39/month. Pro: $94/month. Custom: $174/month for enterprises. A free trial is available.
