Cold email tools compared, for Indian teams.

Side-by-side comparisons of Outly and the tools you're probably weighing it against — with the places where they do more than Outly shown just as plainly as the places where Outly fits better.

Who Outly is for

Indian founders and small agencies who want to be billed in rupees through Razorpay
Teams that want a free plan to stay on, a 14-day Pro trial with no card, and Pro at ₹999/month
Anyone who wants one simple loop: AI-written emails, paced sending from your own Gmail or Outlook inbox, every reply sorted in one place, then pipeline, tasks and meetings
People who'd rather message the founder on WhatsApp than open a ticket

Who should pick another tool

You need a large built-in contact database — Outly has none; you bring an Apollo or Hunter key or a CSV
You depend on a peer warm-up network, inbox placement tests or A/B tests with more than three variants
You need LinkedIn automation, a dialer, or an AI agent that replies to leads for you
You run an agency that needs white label and client logins, or your buyers ask for SOC 2 or ISO 27001

What Outly doesn't do (yet)

No built-in lead database — you bring your own Apollo or Hunter key, or a CSV
No peer warm-up network — only a warm-up ramp and inbox health checks
No conditional branching
No custom tracking domain — open and click tracking (optional, off by default) runs through Outly's own domain
No inbox placement tests
REST API covers leads and campaigns only — no endpoints yet for the inbox, sequences or analytics
No white label
No AI agent that replies on your behalf
LinkedIn steps are manual tasks, not automation

Only leads, active campaigns and the number of workspaces change between plans — every feature above is on every plan.
