What Is Outreach?
Enterprise-grade sales engagement — priced for enterprise budgets.
Outreach.io is a legitimate enterprise platform — it's built for sales organisations that run sequences, calls, LinkedIn touches, and complex multi-step engagements across large teams, all tracked in Salesforce. For a 50-person sales team with dedicated RevOps, the depth of the platform is justifiable.
The problem is that most founders doing cold outreach are not a 50-person sales team. They're one or two people sending sequences and trying to get meetings. Outreach requires an annual contract, an implementation engagement, and per-seat pricing that typically runs €100–€150/month/seat. The overhead in cost, time, and complexity is enormous relative to the actual use case.
What Is mailtani?
A one-time purchase email platform for founders, indie hackers, and small SaaS teams.
mailtani is built for the opposite end of the market: founders and small teams who need reliable sequences, warmup, and inbox rotation without the CRM integrations, dialer features, and revenue intelligence dashboards that inflate Outreach's complexity and price.
If you're replacing Outreach for a large enterprise sales team, mailtani isn't the right fit. But if you moved to Outreach because it was the only tool someone recommended and you're a small team doing straightforward email outreach, mailtani will get you 90% of the result at under 1% of the cost.

What You Get With mailtani
The features founders and indie hackers actually use — on your own infrastructure, for a one-time payment.
Bring Your Own SMTP
Connect your own AWS SES, Resend, or Mailtrap account and send at infrastructure cost. Your sending reputation is entirely yours — not pooled with other users on shared IPs.
Email Warmup
Automatically ramps up your sending volume over 3–6 weeks, building genuine sender reputation with Gmail and Outlook. Set it once — mailtani handles the daily schedule without a separate tool.
Inbox Rotation
Distribute sends across multiple inboxes automatically to protect deliverability and scale volume without burning a single sending address. No manual scheduling required.
Sequences and Drip Campaigns
Build multi-step email sequences with conditions, delays, and branching logic. Welcome flows, onboarding drips, and re-engagement campaigns all run on the same builder.
One-Time Flat Pricing
Pay €89 once. No monthly fees, no per-contact tiers, no price increases as your list grows. Whether you have 500 or 500,000 subscribers, the cost is the same: done.
Full Deliverability Control
Sending reputation, IP addresses, authentication records, and SMTP credentials all belong to you. Diagnose and fix deliverability issues directly rather than waiting on platform support.
