Great at cold email. Nothing on LinkedIn.
Instantly sends email well, caps contacts per plan, and prices everything else modularly, so leads, CRM, inbox placement and pre-warmed accounts each arrive as their own subscription. Outboundry runs cold email plus native LinkedIn, and includes the data, the CRM and an AI Reply Agent in the plan.
Instantly stops at the inbox, and bills leads, CRM and placement as separate products.
Outboundry runs LinkedIn and email, with the data and CRM included.
Three reasons teams move from Instantly to Outboundry
LinkedIn, natively
Instantly has no LinkedIn automation. If your buyers reply on LinkedIn you are buying a second tool and running a second inbox. Outboundry sends connection requests, messages and InMails in the same sequence as your emails.
The data is in the plan
Instantly's lead database is its own subscription, and lead plans are priced per user. Costs multiply as your team grows. Outboundry includes 500M+ contacts, verified mobile numbers and follower exports on one shared credit balance.
One line item, not five
Outreach, Leads, CRM, Inbox Placement and pre-warmed accounts are separate Instantly products. Reviewers routinely report real bills several times the advertised price. Outboundry bundles all of it from $39 a month.

Six things Instantly sells separately, or does not sell at all
Instantly is a strong sending platform. These six are where a single all-in-one changes the maths.
LinkedIn in the same sequence
Connection requests, messages, InMails and follow-ups on safe human-like limits, running alongside your email steps. Instantly has no LinkedIn automation, so this is a channel it simply cannot cover.
Verified mobile numbers on the same lead
Reveal mobile and direct-dial numbers at 10 credits each, on the lead record you already sequenced. Instantly's lead product returns emails, so a call step means another vendor.
Any company page's followers as a list
Export the people following any LinkedIn company page, including your competitors'. Two credits per lead, and a warmer starting point than any filtered search.
A reply agent across both channels
Manual, co-pilot or auto-pilot per campaign, working LinkedIn and email threads from one brain until a meeting is booked. Instantly's agents only ever see the email half.
An AI quality gate before enrolment
ICP Score rates every lead 0 to 100 against your weighted profile with visible reasoning, so weak-fit leads never burn a send or your sender reputation.
CRM, placement testing and infra in-plan
Pipeline, inbox-placement tests, mailboxes at $4 a month and domains at $14 a year, all inside the subscription. With Instantly each of those is its own line on the invoice.
Email-only outbound leaves replies on the table.
Plenty of B2B buyers ignore cold email and answer on LinkedIn. Instantly has no LinkedIn automation at any tier, so an email-only stack never reaches them. Outboundry runs both channels in one sequence, and a reply on either one pauses the whole cadence.
- LinkedIn and email steps in one campaign
- Conditional logic across both channels
- A reply anywhere stops every pending touch
The headline price is one of five subscriptions.
Instantly splits Outreach, Leads, CRM, Inbox Placement and pre-warmed accounts into separate products, and prices lead plans per user. Independent breakdowns routinely put the real monthly bill several times higher than the advertised entry price.
- One flat plan covers outreach, data and CRM
- Lead credits shared across the whole team
- No per-user multiplier as you add seats
Search, verify and reveal in the tool you send from.
Instantly bills its lead database as its own product, priced per user, with credits consumed on search and export. Outboundry keeps search, verification, phone reveal and follower exports on one shared balance inside the same workspace as your campaigns.
- 500M+ contacts, 70M+ companies, 50+ filters
- Verified emails at 1 credit, mobile numbers at 10
- Company follower exports at 2 credits per lead

Instantly's Growth plan is $47/mo billed monthly and caps you at 1,000 uploaded contacts, and Leads, CRM, Inbox Placement and pre-warmed accounts are separate products with lead plans priced per user.
