An Instantly alternative for founders

Remontoire vs Instantly

Instantly is built to send a lot of cold email, across as many mailboxes as you need. Remontoire is built for a smaller number of researched emails, each one sent by you from your real address. They solve different problems.

Last checked: · Sources

The short answer

If your plan is to reach thousands of people a month with automated sequences, Instantly is designed for that and Remontoire isn't.

If you'd rather contact a few dozen well-chosen companies a week, from the address your customers already know, with a reason to get in touch and an email in your own voice, that's what Remontoire does.

Honestly

When Instantly might suit you better

Instantly and Remontoire take opposite views on volume. Instantly may be the closer fit if your plans look like this.

  • Volume is the strategy

    If you want to reach thousands of people a month, Instantly is built for it. Remontoire tops up new prospects to a pace one person can work through by hand.

  • You already have your lists

    Instantly sends to lists you upload. Remontoire only works with companies it finds from your description, so you can't bring your own.

  • You want sequences to run on their own

    Instantly sends each follow-up step automatically. In Remontoire, every follow-up is a draft you choose to send.

  • You send from many mailboxes

    If you spread sending across several mailboxes or domains, or run outreach for clients, Instantly's unlimited accounts and workspaces are made for that.

Questions

Can Remontoire send at Instantly's volume?
No, by design. Remontoire keeps about 20 researched prospects ready and tops them up as you work, and you send every email yourself. If you need thousands of emails a month, it isn't the right tool.
Does Remontoire warm up my mailbox?
No. Remontoire has no warm-up and no extra mailboxes: you send from the address you already use every day, one email at a time.
Does Remontoire track opens and clicks?
No. Emails go out as plain text from your own email app, without tracking pixels or rewritten links.
Does Remontoire send emails for me?
No. You read every draft, then send it from your own email app, or with one click from your connected Outlook mailbox. Nothing is ever sent automatically, including follow-ups.
