I’ve been obsessed with cold email deliverability since the 2026 updates made improving inbox placement a nightmare. I decided to run a split test between my usual outbound email automation and a newer deliverability first outreach platform I found called Sendscale. Most tools just use a basic unified inbox but I'm testing their smartbox inbox to see if it can really protect the sender reputation for cold email better when rotating 20+ domains. So far, the bounce detection email outreach is catching dead leads before the send goes out which is a nice touch for reputation protection cold email.
Is there anyone here that's done a sendscale review on their advanced email sequences? I’m specificially trying to see if their ai lead finder is accurate enough to skip the manual cleaning step. I don't want to scale cold email outreach if the data quality isn't there.
If anyone has SendScale vs Instantly data specifically regarding how long it takes for a new domain to reach ready status during domain warmup for outreach
