The short answer
Starting price, in one look.
Warmerly Starter is $19 a month for 5 mailboxes, and there is a Free plan at $0 for 1 mailbox. Smartlead's cheapest plan, Base, is $39 a month on monthly billing ($32 a month on yearly billing), with unlimited mailboxes, 6,000 emails and 2,000 contacts. The two prices buy different things, so the cheaper one is not the better fit for everyone. Last checked 19 October 2026.

The numbers behind this picker
| Example | Mailboxes | Emails a month | Warmerly mailboxes needed | Warmerly plan | Smartlead plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mailboxes | 5 | 4,500 | 5 | Starter, $19 | Base, $39 |
| Smartlead's median fleet, 20 | 20 | 18,000 | 20 | Growth, $49 | Pro, $94 |
| 25 mailboxes | 25 | 22,500 | 25 | Growth, $49 | Pro, $94 |
| Its top quarter, 60 | 60 | 54,000 | 60 | Agency, $179 | Pro, $94 |
| 100 mailboxes | 100 | 90,000 | 100 | Agency, $179 | Pro, $94 |
Mailboxes needed is our arithmetic: emails divided by 900, rounded up, compared with the mailboxes you connect. The 18,000 and 54,000 volumes are 20 and 60 mailboxes at 30 a day over 30 days; 20 and 60 are the median and top-quarter fleets on Smartlead's benchmark page.

The ladder
Free is $0 for 1 mailbox, Starter $19 for 5, Growth $49 for 25 and Agency $179 for 100, billed monthly. Max is for more than 100 mailboxes and is agreed on a call, so it has no published price.

What drives the price
The plan you need is set by how many mailboxes you connect, not by how many emails you send. Paid plans do not meter sends. Each mailbox has its own daily campaign limit, 30 by default.
Warmerly product, checked 19 October 2026
03
The Free plan
Free costs $0 and needs no card. It allows 1 mailbox, and the code keeps a campaign send cap on it (100) as an abuse guard.
Warmerly product, checked 19 October 2026
04
Yearly billing
Yearly billing on Warmerly is ten times the monthly price, so two months are free. For Starter that is $190 a year.

What a plan can send
Paid plans do not meter sends, but each mailbox sends at most its own daily limit (30 by default, lower while it ramps). Five Starter mailboxes top out near 4,500 a month, 25 on Growth near 22,500 and 100 on Agency near 90,000 (30 sends a day over 30 days, our arithmetic).

Credits: contacts and emails are counted apart
A lead credit is a unique contact you upload, one credit even if used in many campaigns. An email credit is every email sent, follow-ups and replies included. Email credits reset each month; lead credits do not reset and only free up when leads are deleted. When email credits run out, new emails will not send until the next monthly reset or an upgrade.

Unlimited Smart lists 150,000 emails a month and Unlimited Prime 500,000, with 50,000 and 170,000 verified prospect emails. The help centre and home page say both have unlimited contact storage; the pricing card does not state contacts.

What the entry price leaves out
Per its markdown fact sheet (dated 28 July 2026, so possibly older than the pricing page), Base has no CRM access, no API and webhooks, no client workspaces and no CSM call, and its warmup pool is the Foundation tier. Verified prospect emails are a $59 a month add-on on Base and Pro.

What Smartlead does not say
We looked, and found no statement on these. That is about its published pages only, not about the product.
- Trial length: not stated on the pricing page or home page.
- Whether the 50% first-month offer applies to the free trial: not stated.
- Add-ons such as SmartDelivery ($49 a month and up), SmartSenders mailboxes and domains, and SmartServers are priced separately; the full price list for each tier was not clear from the page, so they are not added into the starting price.
- Whether the pricing page itself charges yearly plans in one payment: the page does not say, though its fact sheet lists yearly totals.

In practice
What it means for you.
Our reading of the facts above. Not a promise, and not the only reasonable reading.
Starter is cheaper, with a smaller starter fleet
Our reading: at the entry level Warmerly is $20 a month cheaper. But Starter stops at 5 mailboxes, while Base has no mailbox limit and caps emails instead. If you only run a few mailboxes, the lower price is real.
The gap narrows as you grow
Our reading: Growth ($49, 25 mailboxes) sits well below Smartlead Pro ($94). Past that, Smartlead's Unlimited Smart and Prime plans are priced for volume, and Warmerly Agency ($179) is a hard 100-mailbox ceiling before a Max call.
Compare what you will actually use
Our reading: the tools are priced on different meters. Count your mailboxes for Warmerly, and your monthly emails and list size for Smartlead, then compare the two plans that fit.
Smartlead's discount is worth knowing
Our reading: 50% off the first month on any plan lowers Smartlead's first bill, though not the second. Warmerly's equivalent is the free plan and the 7-day trial.
At the start the difference is mailboxes, not sends
Our reading: five Warmerly mailboxes top out near 4,500 sends a month, which is the same size as Base's 6,000. So the $20 gap buys you a mailbox limit on one side and an email limit on the other, not a very different amount of sending.
Yearly billing is close to level
Our reading: Warmerly's two free months are about 17% off, and Smartlead says 17%. Neither side wins on the yearly discount, so pick on the monthly fit.
Add-ons can move the bill more than the plan
Our reading: if you buy mailboxes, domains, verification or white-label through either vendor, price those in. Smartlead's add-ons are listed on its pricing page; Warmerly's hosted mailboxes are $0.99 to $2.99 a month.
The first twelve months, on the starting plans
Our arithmetic, monthly billing, ignoring trials: 12 months of Starter is $228. Base with the 50% first-month banner is $19.50 then $39 a month, so $58.50 after 2 months and $448.50 after 12, against $38 and $228 for Starter. After 6 months it is $114 against $214.50. The banner's terms are not stated, so treat the Smartlead line as a best case.
