Cold email written for each contact

A cold email agency runs email outreach to buyers who have not heard from you yet, from building the list to sorting the replies. On their own pages on 4 November 2026, OutreachBloom’s cold email service started at $2,400 a month, and Beanstalk charged $3,000 to $5,000 a month. Growigami writes to 500 researched target accounts for $1,999 a month.

Start with one process and have it running in about three weeks. Your CRO, the person who builds and proves each process, writes the first emails and sends them by hand until they draw replies. AI agents then take over the weekly research and drafting, and interested replies go to your own sellers the same day.

What does a cold email agency charge?

We read the pages of four cold email agencies and one cold email tool on 4 November 2026. Three of the agencies publish a price, and only OutreachBloom says how many contacts its price covers.

Service	How it bills	Published price	What the price covers	Commitment
OutreachBloom	Monthly	Starts at $2,400 a month	10,000 to 100,000 contacts emailed a month; you approve the messaging	Not stated on the page
Beanstalk	Monthly retainer	$3,000 to $5,000 for cold email only; $6,000 with LinkedIn	3 to 6 secondary sending domains, warmup, lists, copy, reply triage	Not stated; no pay per meeting
SalesBread	Monthly	$3,000 a month plus a one-time setup fee	LinkedIn and email; no cold calling	No locked-in contracts
Cleverly	Flat monthly retainer or pay per lead	No figure on its cold email page	Lists, copy, inbox and domain setup, replies	Month to month, no contracts
Apollo (a tool)	Per seat	$49 a seat a month on the Basic plan, billed annually	Contact data and sequences; your team writes and sends	12 months at the $49 price; monthly billing costs more
Growigami	Per process	$1,999 a month	500 target accounts researched a month, an email and a LinkedIn message per contact	Minimum three months, then 30 days' notice

Martal’s guide, published in 2024, says cold email partners charge $500 to $5,000 or more a month for a full campaign. Beanstalk’s full multi-channel plan, with paid ads and landing pages, runs $10,000 to $12,000 a month.

Volume or research: which are you buying?

The two ends of the table are different products. OutreachBloom’s entry price covers 10,000 to 100,000 contacts emailed a month. Growigami’s process covers 500 accounts a month, each researched that week for a reason to write, with one email and one LinkedIn message per contact. Decide which you need before you compare prices.

What does a cold email agency do?

It takes over the sending end of outbound. On the pages we read, the work covers:

• Sending setup. Domains, inboxes, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and inbox warmup.
• Lists. Building and verifying the contacts in your target market.
• Copy. The first email and the follow-ups, tested over time.
• Sequencing. Running the sends in a tool such as Smartlead or Apollo.
• Replies. Sorting replies and passing interested ones to your team.
• Reporting. Sends, replies and meetings; Beanstalk reports weekly.

Our guides to cold email follow-up and cold email subject lines show what the copy side looks like.

What sending rules does a cold email agency have to follow?

The same rules as you, because the mail goes out under your name. The FTC’s CAN-SPAM guide says the law makes no exception for business-to-business email. It adds that hiring another company to send it does not contract away your legal responsibility: the company promoted and the company that sends can both be held responsible. Google’s rules cover mail to personal Gmail accounts, the ones ending in @gmail.com or @googlemail.com.

Rule	Who sets it	What it requires
Authentication	Google, for personal Gmail	SPF or DKIM for every sender; SPF, DKIM and DMARC at 5,000 or more messages a day
Spam rate	Google, for personal Gmail	Below 0.10% in Postmaster Tools, and never 0.30% or higher
Unsubscribe	Google, above 5,000 messages a day	One-click unsubscribe on marketing and subscribed mail
Honest headers	FTC, under CAN-SPAM	Header information that is not misleading, and a subject line that matches the message
Ad notice	FTC, under CAN-SPAM	A clear notice that the message is an ad
Postal address	FTC, under CAN-SPAM	A valid physical postal address in each email
Opt-outs	FTC, under CAN-SPAM	Honored within 10 business days
Penalties	FTC, under CAN-SPAM	Up to $53,088 for each violating email

These are summaries of the two sources, read on 4 November 2026, and your own counsel decides how they apply to you. Our email deliverability glossary entry explains the terms.

Whose domain should cold email come from?

Ask before you sign, because agencies answer it differently. Beanstalk buys 3 to 6 secondary domains for each client and never sends from the main brand domain. It warns that at some agencies the domains and the data belong to the agency, so a client who cancels starts over, and it says its own clients keep the domains and the data when they leave. Get two answers in writing: which domains send, and who owns them on the day you leave.

Growigami’s sequences go out from domains you own, and the accounts, contacts and replies land in your CRM.

What Growigami runs for sales teams sending cold email

Each week, AI agents research every account on your list and draft an email and a LinkedIn message for each contact, and our team checks each draft. Your CRO, who builds the process, sends the first sequences by hand until they draw replies. Your sellers answer the interested replies, which reach them in Slack the same day.

We build the account list from your closed deals and score each new account against your best customers, so you can start without a list. Each email opens with a reason that account would talk now, such as a new head of sales. Each follow-up says something new. The ABM and outbound service page lays out the scoring and the sequences.

Growigami has worked with 40+ B2B companies. For CapOut, outbound emails went to roofers, public adjusters and supplement firms, and the replies showed that claims firms answered most while contractors paid most. For CabFare, drivers and fleet owners each got their own email campaign. With video ads and a new first-run flow, that took it from $0 to $20K MRR in four months. For Reworld, a $3 billion waste-to-energy operator, outbound, a CRM cleanup and a campaign for each of its four buyer segments reached $250M+ in pipeline. For TopScore, outbound email to clubs, sport by sport, showed that basketball clubs replied best.

How do you choose a cold email agency?

Put these questions to each agency in writing, and compare the answers next to the price:

• How many contacts a month, and how much research each? A price means little until you know the volume behind it.
• Which domains send, and who owns them? Ask for the domain names and who keeps them if you leave.
• Who reads the emails before they go? OutreachBloom has you approve the messaging. Ask whether that means the template or each email.
• What counts as a result? Replies, meetings booked, meetings held or pipeline in your CRM.
• Who handles replies, and how fast? Beanstalk lists a 15-minute response inside business hours.
• What does the exit cost? The notice period, and what happens to the domains, lists and reply history.

How long does cold email take to work?

Weeks for the first replies, longer for pipeline. Beanstalk’s page tells its own clients to expect reply data inside 30 days and meetings inside 45. Our first process is usually running in about three weeks, and every reply lands in your CRM from then on.

• A process costs $500 more in its first month while we build it, and your first build is on us this month.
• A CRO review is optional and extra: $1,499 a month for a monthly review, or $2,999 a month for a weekly one.
• The minimum is three months. After that you can leave with 30 days' notice.

Three months of one process cost $5,997, because your first build is on us this month. Within a week of read access to your CRM, we show you the first process we would build and what it would produce.

When a cold email tool or a volume agency fits better

Buy a tool such as Apollo if someone on your team can build lists, write sequences and watch deliverability. Its Basic plan was $49 a seat a month, billed annually, when we read the page. Hire a volume agency if your market is broad and you want tens of thousands of contacts emailed a month. Our process researches 500 accounts.

If your buyers answer the phone, hire an outsourced SDR firm, because nobody on our side calls. For outbound across email and LinkedIn to a fixed list of named accounts, see outbound lead generation services. If LinkedIn is where your buyers answer, see LinkedIn lead generation services.
