Choose PureMail if
Mailreef only fits if
Mailreef is a different product: a dedicated SMTP server and IP you fill with as many mailboxes as you like, priced per server and per send. Under about 100 inboxes PureMail costs a fraction of one server. Past that, a well-filled Mailreef server can cost less, but you own the IP’s reputation from zero instead of sending through Google and Microsoft.

Price
Mailreef pricing is per dedicated server, $249 a month with 150 mailboxes, plus $0.001 for each email. We add the send fee for the same volume, about 30 emails a day per inbox over 22 sending days. Under 100 inboxes one server costs far more than PureMail; past that it depends on how full you keep each server.

Mailbox type
A Mailreef mailbox is an SMTP account on a mail server rented to you alone, sending from a dedicated IP. You can create as many mailboxes on the server as you like, which is why the price per mailbox falls as you fill it, and nobody else shares your IP.
The flip side is that the IP starts with no reputation. Mailreef recommends at most 50 emails a day per mailbox and one warmup email for every cold one, and every email you send adds $0.001 to the bill.
A PureMail inbox is a Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account on your domain, sending through Gmail’s or Outlook’s own infrastructure. You pay per inbox, nothing per email, and start with ten.
PureMail is a reseller for both. See our Google Workspace reseller inboxes and Microsoft 365 reseller inboxes for cold email.

Mailreef
Setup
You choose the inbox count, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 (or both) and your domains. Our team writes MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC on every domain, creates each inbox with its sender name and connects it to Instantly, Smartlead, ReachInbox or the tool you send from. A typical order is live in about four hours.
Warmup runs in your sequencer at no extra cost. Plan two to three weeks before full volume, at around 30 cold emails a day per inbox.
You start with a demo call; Mailreef screens every customer. Once approved, domains and mailboxes are created in one click, SPF, DKIM and DMARC are automatic, and it integrates with Smartlead and Instantly or any SMTP tool.
Its pricing page lists a pre-warmed server, domains and mailboxes, and recommends a 1:1 ratio of cold to warmup sends, which also count toward the per-send fee.
Why switch
Start small, pay per inbox, and send through Google and Microsoft instead of a new IP.
$33 a month for 10, against $249 for a server before the first email.
Your bill is the inbox count. Sending more does not cost more.
Inboxes send from the providers your prospects use, not an IP you warm from zero.
No demo, no approval queue. Live in about four hours.

FAQ
Is Mailreef good, what it costs, and how to move across.
01
Mailreef, from Dabble Holdings, rents dedicated SMTP mail servers for cold email: one server with a dedicated IP and 150 or more mailboxes for $249 a month month to month, or $240 on a 12-month commitment, plus $0.001 for every email sent.
02
It suits senders who will fill a dedicated server and want to own the IP. The trade-offs: SMTP rather than Google or Microsoft accounts, an IP you warm from zero, a per-email fee, a demo and approval before you start, and terms that say fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
03
$249 a month per server on month-to-month billing or $240 on a 12-month commitment, each with 150 or more mailboxes, plus $0.001 per email. 100 inboxes sending about 30 a day add roughly $66 in send fees, about $315 a month in all. Domains are extra.
04
Under about 100 inboxes, no: 10 PureMail inboxes are $33 a month against a $249 server, and 50 are $155 against about $282. Past about 100, a full Mailreef server can cost less, for SMTP mailboxes on your own IP rather than Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
05
No. Mailreef sells SMTP mailboxes on its servers and positions them as an alternative to Google Workspace. PureMail sells Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 inboxes, set up for you.
06
Yes, $0.001 for every email sent, on top of the server. Its own guidance of a 1:1 cold-to-warmup ratio means warmup sends count too. PureMail charges per inbox only.
07
Yes. Set up PureMail inboxes on your domains, warm them in your sequencer while the Mailreef server keeps sending, move campaigns across, then stop the server, checking the end of any 12-month commitment first.
