Tools That Power Email Delivery And More
Looking for the right tools to help you with your email delivery challenges? We’re collating a list of the best tools available, with new ones added every month, and any that fall out of favour will be removed! Please note that some (but not all) of the links below are affiliate links, and we might earn a tiny commission if you buy them.
Email Warmup Tools
A firm favourite of ours, Warm is getting real traction with recruiters thanks to its B2B and B2C warmup, and some whopping numbers each day as well. Simple interface and dashboard and scaling pricing. It also has some lovely free tools without even signing up. Consider their B2C seed lists too. Epic for warming specific campaigns.
Epic 1,000 emails a day on the big boy package, with smaller options as well. You can add loads of mailboxes really easily and manage them in one place. Highly recommended. The only challenge is that they’re focused on B2B mailbox warmup, not B2C. Great for client outreach, less so for candidate. That said, warming up Google Workspace will help with Gmail reputation as well, just no miracles with Outlook.com, Hotmail, Yahoo or AOL.
The talk of the new and a relative newcomer to the market, Mailreach has got a great approach for B2B inbox warmup. Great free inbox placement testing tool to try before you buy!
A tidy way to see what’s holding your emails back and how to fix it. It checks your domain setup, mailbox health, and sending habits, then points to the stuff that’s quietly dragging you towards spam. Another great option if your focus is B2B.

Leadwarm AI automates sending schedules, ensuring emails are sent at regular intervals. This helps build trust with email providers and recipients, reducing the chance of emails being marked as spam.
Newcomer Snov have developed an interesting platform that delivers prospect searches, email marketing automation, email delivery placement feedback, and email warmup! Free for life with some basic features, and very reasonable paid options.
For those who want to keep their tech stack tidy, Lemwarm from Lemlist does just that. Go Lem crazy with the whole pile of services, but just get Lemwarm if you like. It’s been evolving since launch and new features get added regularly.
It might feel like this is in the wrong category, as Instantly does so much. True, but it does warmup really well as part of its full stack. Incredibly powerful tool for prospecting, email marketing automation AND mailbox warmup.
Cold Email Outreach
Apollo shines when it comes to UK data, with users praising its accuracy and depth. However, worth noting that some recruiters complain that it isn’t quite as hot on US data. If your focus is heavily stateside, you might find it a bit hit-or-miss. But for UK-based recruiters, Apollo seems to be a solid choice for outreach.
ZoomInfo is a premium tool known for its deep US data and advanced features like company hierarchies and intent data. Compared to Apollo, ZoomInfo is pricier but ideal for teams prioritising the American market.
Unlike Apollo or ZoomInfo, it’s not a database but can be connected to other tools, and pull data from platforms like LinkedIn. It automates outreach so is great for streamlining workflows and saving time. Again, it doesn’t provide its own data, so you’ll need to pair it with other tools for comprehensive prospecting. Also, check out their new CRM feature!
Cognism offers strong GDPR-compliant contact information worldwide, making it a reliable choice for agencies operating internationally. It’s great for its accuracy and compliance features but tends to be pricier, so it’s better suited for teams with a larger budget and a need for global reach
Kaspr is a powerful LinkedIn prospecting tool that helps users instantly grab verified contact details like emails and phone numbers, with a slick Chrome extension and CRM integration. Some people don’t like the credit-based pricing but it’s a game-changer for those who want more control over their spend.
Email Marketing
Previously known as SendInBlue, Brevo has a long history of being a powerful email marketing tool. Make sure you have contacts that have opted in for your email marketing! Like most email marketing tools, you’ll go on the naughty step if your bounce or spam reports are too high.
Who hasn’t heard of this cheeky monkey? Seen by some as a way of “getting started” with email marketing, it’s kept up with the competition, is stacked with great features and one of the easiest to use.
For a long time, this marketing agency’s secret weapon was for pros only but has been making itself more accessible and easy to use. Honestly, the interface can be sluggish but it makes up for it with its ability to handle some of the most complex email automations we’ve seen.
Calling Hubspot an email marketing tool is like calling the channel tunnel an underpass. It’s an insanely large platform once you get into it, with capability galore. And prices to match. Some might say it’s more than they need and, for email marketing, they might be right. Great platform and not for feint hearted.
Simply, this is Mailchimp but cheaper. Capable and straightforward email marketing and automation tool that’s easy to use and can be mastered quickly too. Some fancy features are missing but it’s enough for most people.
Let me be clear. This is not an email marketing tool. This is not an email automation tool. It’s a bulk email-sending platform designed to plug into other systems, like CRM, websites, and, well, email marketing tools!
List Cleaning
Slightly more expensive than some competitors, Zerobounce is An email validation and list-cleaning tool that verifies email addresses, removes spam traps, and provides insights into email deliverability and engagement metrics.
Primarily designed as a tool for finding and verifying professional email addresses, it has limited features for bulk list cleaning compared to dedicated verification tools. That said, those who have used it for list cleaning give it the thumbs up. Easy to use and integrates well with CRMs.
Acquired by ZoomInfo back in 2021, NeverBounce has a heritage of being a solid solution, with investment since ZoomInfo got involved giving it strength.
Domains and Websites
Our personal favourite place for our domains. Great features like “DNS Pro” enable us to backup and edit DNS in a way that makes us geeks happy!
Brilliant place for managing domains, and an excellent “delegation” option, giving people like Quinset access to edit your DNS without needing your username and password.
Our favourite place for hosting wordpress sites. Not for the beginner, but gives you brilliant website performance, backups and more for an unbeatable price. Rock solid hosting.

Productivity and Infrastructure
InboxKit is essentially email infrastructure as a service built for cold outreach at scale. You can buy or connect domains, then provision Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, with DNS, authentication, and warmup workflows handled for you, and manage it all from a single place.
