What Mailshake is and what it costs

Mailshake is a cold email and sales engagement tool: sequences, an AI copywriter called SHAKEspeare, and on its top plan a power dialer. The pricing page text showed monthly and yearly figures without marking the active view, so the monthly figures are used and flagged.

Who should stay with Mailshake

You want a simple cold email tool with sequences and an AI copywriter at a low per user price.
You want a power dialer for phone follow ups on the top plan.
You want help from the vendor to start: payment is collected up front, and onboarding is offered instead of a trial.
You are an agency that wants to ask about an Agency plan.

Who should look elsewhere

From the vendor's own pages, not from user reviews, which this page does not collect. These describe scope, not faults.

You want to try before paying. The pricing page states no free trial (mailshake.com, read 19 October 2026).
You want an AI that answers replies. SHAKEspeare writes email copy, and an AI Sales Coach is listed as a feature link, with no agent that replies listed.
You want LinkedIn, WhatsApp or live chat. Email is on all plans and social is named on the home page only.
You want unlimited sends. Starter is capped at 1,500 sends a month.

Alternatives by need

Where Sellinger fits, and where it does not

Sellinger fits when

You want the agent to research each person, write the email, answer the reply and book the meeting, instead of drafting copy for a person to send.
You want email next to LinkedIn and WhatsApp in one inbox and one CRM.
You want a card free start: 30 days free on messaging modules and bundles.
You want intent signals and a contact database in the same product.

Sellinger is the wrong choice when

You send cold email at high volume from many mailboxes. Mailshake, Instantly and Smartlead are built for sending, and Sellinger is not email infrastructure.
You want a power dialer. Sellinger does not offer one.
You need Salesforce or Pipedrive connected today. Sellinger lists Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho as coming soon, with a two way HubSpot sync today.

Switching notes

Export your lists and templates from Mailshake before cancelling. Payment was collected up front, so check the renewal date.
Move your sending mailboxes with care, and keep the domain warm up history if you change tools.
Pause the campaigns in Mailshake before the same people are written to from Sellinger.
A Sellinger campaign can start in approval mode, so you read the first messages before they go out.
