Mailshake Comparison with Vocus.io
Are you considering to switch from Mailshake or a Mailshake competitor? Find out why Vocus.io is your best alternative.
tl;dr. Mailshake is a good fit if all you're looking for is to send a mass email campaign with A/B testing. If instead you find yourself living in Gmail/GSuite (sending one-off outreach emails to leads, sending followups, coordinating meetings, setting reminders, all this in addition to mass campaigns) then Vocus.io is a better fit. There's a price delta as well.
Here we will examine three dimensions: price, features, and experience. Below is our summary.
Price
Mailshake requires you to pay upfront before signing up. Their monthly plans are $29/$49. If you pay annually, those plans are $22/$37 per month.
Vocus.io on the other hand will only accept monthly payments, with three payment plans: $5/$10/$20. There is no upfront payment with Vocus.io and it will not lock you up on a yearly plan.

Experience
Vocus.io is a different product class than Mailshake although they both serve the same purpose. Vocus.io lives within your Gmail/GSuite, improve your overall workflow, and campaigns is one of many features it provides. It's the Swiss-Army knife for email outreach. Mailshake is a single purpose and standalone product that is only meant for mass outreach - i.e. will not help you when reaching out to a single lead from your Gmail.
