Zapmail and PureMail sell the same kind of mailbox: real Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts for cold email. On monthly billing PureMail costs less at almost every size from 10 to 1,000, and our team does the setup Zapmail leaves to you. Here is the full comparison of the two cold email infrastructure providers.

Zapmail only fits if
The mailboxes are the same kind: Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 on both. What differs is the price and the work. On monthly billing PureMail costs less at every size except 97 to 100, and our team does the DNS, creates the inboxes and connects them to your sequencer.

Mailbox type
Unlike SMTP providers, a Zapmail mailbox is a real Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account, and so is a PureMail inbox. Both send through Google’s or Microsoft’s own servers and start with the reputation those providers give their customers.
What differs is who builds it. On Zapmail you create the mailboxes in a dashboard and export them to your sequencer yourself. On PureMail our team does the whole job, including connecting each inbox to your sequencer, in about four hours.
So Zapmail vs PureMail comes down to two things: PureMail costs less month to month, and you hand the setup over instead of doing it yourself.
PureMail is a reseller for both. See our Google Workspace reseller inboxes and Microsoft 365 reseller inboxes for cold email.
PureMail
Zapmail
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.
Warm up in your sequencer for two to three weeks at no extra cost, then send around 30 cold emails a day per inbox.
It is self-serve: DNS and tracking domains are set automatically, and you create the mailboxes and export them to your sequencer over OAuth yourself.
Warmup is not included on standard plans; you warm up in your sequencer, or pay for the pre-warmed tier at $6 to $8 a mailbox, about twice the standard price.
Why switch
The same Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailboxes, with less to pay and nothing to set up.
$33 against $39 for 10, $155 against $164 for 50, $1,450 against $1,499 for 500. Lower at almost every size on monthly billing.
One rate per inbox for any count, so you never work out which plan plus how many extras is cheapest.
We write the DNS, create every inbox with its sender name and connect it to your sequencer in about four hours.
Zapmail’s lowest rates need a 12-month prepayment. PureMail is monthly, and you cancel from your dashboard.

01

02
It is a capable self-serve dashboard for Google and Microsoft mailboxes.
