The short answer

Inbox placement testing, in one look.

Warmerly's test today runs against its own warmup mailboxes, so its result is a limited measure, and the app says so. Saleshandy describes a placement test that sends your template to a seed list of real inboxes at Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo. Last checked 22 October 2026.

How Warmerly does it

Warmerly, in detail.

A placement test exists and runs daily, but today it is a degraded test against our own mailboxes, not a measurement of Gmail or Outlook placement. We say so in the product.

01

What a test does

It sends one message from the mailbox's own SMTP to up to 4 targets, waits, then checks Inbox, Promotions, Spam and Junk over IMAP and scores each result.

Warmerly product, checked 21 October 2026

02

No dedicated seed list yet

Real measurement needs seed mailboxes at Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo. That table has never held a real row in production, so every test falls back to our own warmup-pool mailboxes.

03

Why a degraded result is not a measurement

Our own mailboxes accept almost everything, so the score is near 100 whatever the sender's real performance. The account page shows a Limited accuracy note.

04

Where it runs

On demand from the mailbox Health tab, and daily for up to 5 mailboxes per sweep.

Warmerly product, checked 21 October 2026

05

Blocklist checks are separate

Warmerly queries 6 domain blocklists and 10 IP blocklists by DNS lookup in a sweep every six hours.

Tests a month, by plan

Placement tests are 3 a month on Free, 5 on Starter, 25 on Growth and 100 on Agency.

Buying more

If the monthly tests run out, credits can buy more at two credits a test. The page states the price before anything is bought.

Scored per result

Each target's result is scored from where the message landed, and the account page shows the score beside a plain note on how accurate the test is today.

How Saleshandy does it

Saleshandy, in detail.

A placement test that sends your template to a seed list and returns a report. The page does not give a price, a test limit or the number of seed accounts.

01

A seed list of real inboxes

Its page says you send your email template to its seed list of real inbox addresses across all major providers, naming Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo.

02

Three steps

Send your email template to the seed list, the system checks where it lands, and you receive a placement report with recommendations.

saleshandy.com/inbox-placement-test · read 21 October 2026

04

Free or paid

The page is titled Free Inbox Placement Test. Its pricing page also lists Inbox Placement as an add-on tab with no details.

saleshandy.com/pricing · read 21 October 2026

05

Features the page lists

The page lists Smart Inbox Testing, External Tests, Placement Reports, ESP-to-ESP Placement, Spam and Content Report, Account-Level Insights, Domain and IP Insights, and Shareable Reports and Exports. It does not explain any of them.

An example figure, labelled as one

An example card shows a 98.7 per cent inbox placement rate under a See an Example label, so we treat it as an illustration.

07

Real-time checking

The page says its system checks where the email lands across Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and other providers in real time.

08

Other placement claims, unsupported

Its deliverability page claims inbox placement of 95 per cent or more and a 98 per cent inbox rate after fixes in mock-ups, and quotes one customer going from 60 to 95 per cent. No method, sample size or provider mix is given.

A free spam checker is linked

A separate Email Spam Checker tool is linked from its deliverability page but is not described there.

What Saleshandy does not say

We looked, and found no statement on these. That is about its published pages only, not about the product.

  • The number of seed accounts
  • How many tests you can run
  • The price of the add-on
  • Which plans include it
  • How the seed list is built or how many addresses it holds
  • How many free tests you can run
  • Whether the report is limited to inbox and spam or includes other tabs

Where the sources disagree

We report each version rather than pick one.

  • The Saleshandy test page is titled Free Inbox Placement Test, while its pricing page lists Inbox Placement as an add-on tab with no price or limits. We could not tell which applies to a given plan.

In practice

What it means for you.

Our reading of the facts above. Not a promise, and not the only reasonable reading.

1

On this row Saleshandy describes the stronger test

A seed list of real inboxes measures placement. Ours does not yet, and we say so.

2

Treat any placement score with care

Either product's score is one reading, not a promise of where mail lands.

3

If the question is where Gmail puts your mail

Saleshandy describes a test aimed at exactly that, with real Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo addresses on the receiving end. Warmerly's does not do that yet, and says so on the result.

4

If the question is whether something is broken

Warmerly puts the placement test next to six-hourly record checks and blocklist checks on the same Health tab, so a failed record or a listing shows up without running a test at all.

5

Reading any single score

A score from one send to a handful of addresses is a snapshot. Run the test on the same mailbox over several days before you act on a drop.

Who it suits

Pick the one that fits.

Questions
Does Warmerly test placement at Gmail and Outlook?

Not yet. A test sends to up to 4 of our own warmup mailboxes, and the app labels the result as limited accuracy.

What does Saleshandy's placement test cover?

It sends your template to a seed list at Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and others, then shows primary inbox against spam with recommendations. Price, test limit and seed count are not stated.

How many placement tests does Warmerly include?

3 a month on Free and 5 a month on Starter. Extra tests cost two credits each.

Is a Warmerly placement score a Gmail result?

No. It is a degraded test against our own mailboxes, and the product says so with a limited accuracy note.
