Thin evidence

Mailshake is a sales outreach platform that automates cold email sequences and follow-ups, with phone dialing, CRM integrations and lead management on higher tiers.

Verdict: Independent discussion is very thin: only four comments give a real view, and two of them date from 2020 and 2021. They describe Mailshake as a reasonably priced, fairly basic sender for small teams, with one user getting better link-building results after moving to lemlist and another seeing nothing in it that helped deliverability at the time. Over a third of the 25 comments were promotional, led by a cluster of accounts using Mailshake threads to plug Mails AI and Mystrika.

In their own words

Outreach has its foothold in enterprise since they were first to the space. Salesloft is enterprise/midmarket. SalesVue is best when dealing with compliance heavy industries (banking, insurance, healthcare) since it’s native to SFDC. Mailshake is the best newcomer on the market and works well for the price, great for start ups and small businesses. There’s also Engage but I’d only recommend for those deeply integra…
mailshake + a decent linkedin sequence works ok, but anything too automated feels spammy fast, especially now everyone’s desperate for roles in this garbage market
Lemlist is good for their feature called lemwarm which is basically sending emails between people in their network and making sure they are not marked as spam or that they dont end up in promotions tab. mailshake is practically just for sending emails, they go directly from your gmail/gsuite so i doubt that they increase deliverability by just using them
Lemlist as for now. Was using Mailshake previously for link building outreach. But lemlist gives much better results with their personalized images.
