Where Instantly Falls Short

Common feedback we hear from teams evaluating alternatives.

More Than You Might Need

Instantly now offers CRM, lead database, AI agents, and visitor tracking. Great if you need all that. But if you just want to send cold emails, you're paying for features you won't use. Reachkit focuses on one thing: cold email done well.

Growing Pains

As Instantly has scaled, some users report campaigns not sending as expected and support taking longer to respond. Reachkit is smaller and more focused, which means faster support and a more stable experience.

Multiple Products to Manage

Instantly now has separate pricing for Sending, Leads, and CRM. Each with their own dashboards and limits. If you prefer one product with one price, Reachkit keeps everything in one place.

What Reachkit Customers Say

Feedback from teams who evaluated both platforms.

"Instantly is a good product, it just became more than I needed. I was only using 20% of the features and the interface kept getting busier. Reachkit is exactly what I was looking for: simple cold email."
Alan Bermingham
SEO Agency Owner
"I switched because I wanted something simpler, not because Instantly was bad. Reachkit just fits how I work better. Less clicking around, faster to get things done."
Mark Sullivan
Founder, Consulting Firm

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions when comparing Instantly and Reachkit.

Is Instantly a bad product?

No. Instantly is a solid platform with a lot of features. But it's evolved into a full sales suite. If you want CRM, lead sourcing, and AI agents in one place, Instantly might be right for you. If you just want focused cold email, Reachkit is simpler.

What if I need a lead database?

We'd recommend using a dedicated tool like Apollo or Clay for leads. You'll get better data from specialists. Reachkit focuses on sending, not sourcing.
