How Warmerly does it
Warmerly, in detail.
Email first. Warmerly warms the mailboxes, watches their DNS and sends cold email from them. LinkedIn accounts are added at $19 each.
01
Priced and built around mailboxes
Free covers 1 mailbox, Starter 5 at $19 a month, Growth 25 at $49 and Agency 100 at $179. Warmup, DNS checks and cold email run on those mailboxes, and paid plans have no monthly send meter.

02
LinkedIn is an add-on
A LinkedIn account is $19 a month, sold apart from every plan, with no free trial. It can sit in the same sequence as email steps.

03
Warmup and DNS are the base
Each mailbox is warmed on a ramp, and its SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records are checked every 6 hours with 16 blocklists.

Where Warmerly is behind
Skylead lists paid and free InMails and View and Follow steps in its LinkedIn automation. We found no code for InMail, endorsements, follows or likes as campaign steps in Warmerly.

05
Placement, not only sending
Warmerly runs placement checks that show whether warmup mail lands in the inbox or in spam, so the mailbox's standing is visible before and during campaigns.

06
Launch checks
Pre-launch checks run before a campaign starts, including a warning when a sending mailbox is still warming or its DNS check has failed. Each is a warning you can acknowledge, not a block.

The Free plan covers 1 mailbox and needs no card. A paid plan starts with a 7-day trial.

Smart sequences are the centre

03
Email warm-up is part of the plan
Infinite email warm-up is ticked on All-in-one. The warm-up page says it comes from a partnership with Mailivery.

Built for agencies too
The home page describes Skylead as agency-ready LinkedIn automation and cold email software built to scale. The pricing table adds an agency layer with a unibox, an agency dashboard and a performance hub with risk detection.

Channels it names
LinkedIn: connection requests, messages and InMails, with View and Follow steps. Email: unlimited connected accounts and support for all email providers. Multichannel sequences combine both.

Lead sources inside the seat
The pricing table lists account-based prospecting, a B2B database with filters and post signals, and the home page says results can be saved to a new or existing list.

09
Learning and support
It offers a chat button, a free course called Skylearn, a sales e-book and a request-a-demo route. The pricing table lists a 1-on-1 onboarding call and a dedicated success manager, without saying which plan includes them.

What Skylead does not say
We looked, and found no statement on these. That is about its published pages only, not about the product.
- Daily limits for LinkedIn actions
- A published schedule for LinkedIn warm-up
- How many people use the product, in a form we could check (the home page gives a figure with no method)
- What the 1-on-1 onboarding call and success manager cost or which plan includes them
- Whether the 7-day trial needs a card
Where the sources disagree
We report each version rather than pick one.
- Skylead's home page gives a user count and several savings and response figures with no stated method, so we use none of them.
- The warm-up product is named Mailivery in one place and InboxFlare in another on Skylead's own pages. See the mailbox warmup page.

In practice
What it means for you.
Our reading of the facts above. Not a promise, and not the only reasonable reading.
If LinkedIn leads, Skylead is the closer fit
Its seat is a whole LinkedIn and email workflow with conditions, InMails and personalised images. Warmerly's LinkedIn is a lighter add-on.
If the mailbox is the weak point, look at Warmerly
Warmerly spends its effort on warming mailboxes and checking their DNS on a schedule, then sending from them. Skylead also lists warm-up and a health check, so the gap here is smaller than it first looks.
They can run side by side
Nothing has to be migrated. Warmerly can warm and send from the mailboxes you use for cold email while Skylead keeps running LinkedIn.
Two ways to count the first month
Two LinkedIn accounts and five mailboxes cost $57 a month in Warmerly (the $19 Starter plan plus 2 x $19 for LinkedIn). Two Skylead seats cost 2 x $100 = $200, with unlimited email accounts inside. The gap is real, and so is the difference in depth on the LinkedIn side.
When you need both jobs from one login
If you want one tool to hold the sequence, the lead list, the LinkedIn steps and the replies, Skylead is built to be that. Warmerly asks you to treat the mailbox as the product and LinkedIn as a light extra.
When the mailbox is the thing that breaks
If cold email lands in spam, the useful question is what the tool watches: the ramp, DNS, blocklists and placement. Warmerly publishes each. Skylead lists warm-up and a health check and publishes less detail.
Starting without paying
Warmerly's free plan lets you connect one mailbox and watch warmup before deciding. Skylead offers 7 days on its first account, then charges, and its terms say all payments are final.
