Firstsales
Cold email that reaches the inbox
What is Firstsales
FirstSales handles the infrastructure layer of cold email — warming sender accounts, cleaning contact lists, monitoring inbox placement in real time, and configuring email authentication so outbound messages reach primary inboxes rather than spam. It's built for SDRs, founders, and agencies running cold outreach at volume, from small teams sending 30,000 emails a month up to mid-market operations pushing 500,000. The standout capability is unlimited sending accounts across all plans, which lets agencies and multi-brand operators scale without paying per seat or per inbox. AI personalization and sequencing with triggers and scheduling are included, reducing the manual work of building and managing campaigns. The honest limitation: native integrations are not documented, so teams relying on CRM sync or multi-tool workflows will need to lean on the API — which exists but carries limited agentic readiness.

Vanderbuild take
For SDRs, founders, and cold email agencies that need deliverability infrastructure without paying agency rates, FirstSales covers the core stack — warm-up, list hygiene, authentication, and sequencing — at a price point that makes sense for SMBs and growth-stage teams. On the agentic side, an API is available, but agentic readiness is rated limited, meaning you'll hit friction before you can reliably orchestrate this inside an AI-driven outbound workflow — no MCP server is confirmed, and integration depth is unclear. At $28/month to start, the financial risk to test is low, and the workspace-based model means costs stay predictable as you add sending accounts; that said, expect to upgrade tiers as your contact volume grows past the Starter ceiling. The main gap we'd flag is native CRM integrations — none are documented, so if your team lives in HubSpot or Salesforce, plan for manual exports or API work to close that loop.
