Saleshandy Alternative: Alienmail vs Saleshandy
How is Alienmail different from Saleshandy?
Reviewed by Ankit Dangi, Founder & CEO · Prices checked 27 Oct 2026
The short answer
Saleshandy Starter costs $41 a month for 2,000 active prospects and 6,000 sends, with unlimited warmup and one seat. Alienmail charges per email, so the same 6,000 emails cost $15, with no prospect cap and free seats, and it writes the campaign from your website. Saleshandy suits a solo sender who wants a simple flat price.
Pick Alienmail if your team needs more than one seat, your list is over 2,000 prospects, or you want the campaign written for you.

The Core Difference
Saleshandy sells a simple monthly plan: Starter gives one person 2,000 active prospects and 6,000 sends, and more seats or prospects mean a bigger plan. Alienmail sells emails one at a time and does the writing: add your website and it drafts the whole sequence, then charges 4 credits for each email it sends, with seats free for the whole team. Saleshandy rewards a solo sender with steady volume; Alienmail rewards teams and uneven months.

Alienmail vs Saleshandy Pricing
How each one charges
Saleshandy
Starter $41 a month ($34 billed yearly) for 2,000 active prospects and 6,000 sends, with one seat, unlimited email accounts and unlimited warmup. Pro adds 10 seats and higher limits.
Alienmail
No plan. Each email uses 4 credits; top-ups start at $5 and the rate per credit drops at $10, $50 and $250.
| Emails in a month | Alienmail | Saleshandy |
|---|---|---|
| None | $0 | $41 (Starter) |
| 4,000 | $10 | $41 (Starter) |
| 6,000 | $15 | $41 (Starter) |
| 25,000 | $50 | Higher plan |
| 100,000 | $160 | Higher plan |
Inside Starter's 6,000-send limit, Alienmail is cheaper every month. Above it, compare against Saleshandy's higher plans on its pricing page. Mailboxes cost extra on both: $2.50 each a month if you buy them in Alienmail.
Cost reality: a small team's month
A founder sends to 1,000 new leads a month, 4 emails each: 4,000 emails.
Saleshandy
Starter fits, at $41, for one person. When a second rep joins, Starter's single seat isn't enough and the team needs Pro.
Alienmail
16,666 credits from a $10 top-up: $10, and the second rep's seat is free.
Cost per 1,000 emails
- Saleshandy Starter, fully used: $6.83 per 1,000 emails ($41 ÷ 6,000).
- Alienmail: $2.40 per 1,000 from a $10 top-up, falling to $1.20 from $250.
So: Alienmail is cheaper per email than Saleshandy Starter at every top-up size, even when you use all of Starter's 6,000 sends.
