Bulk Email Boxer vs Saleshandy, the annual-price catch and what you actually get
Saleshandy is a genuinely budget-friendly cold email tool, and its headline entry price of $25/month is one of the lowest in the category. If cost is the only consideration, that number is hard to argue with.
But there's an important caveat: that $25 is the annual price (billed up front for the year). The real month-to-month price is about 40% higher, around $36. Once you compare like-for-like (flat monthly, what's actually bundled, and how much sending you get per dollar), the picture is more even than the headline suggests. Here's the honest comparison.
Pricing
Both tools are flat-priced with unlimited senders, neither charges a per-seat fee. The real differences are the annual-vs-monthly gap, how much sending volume you get, and what's bundled.
| Plan size | Bulk Email Boxer | Saleshandy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry tier | $40/mo (10,000 emails, 20,000 leads) | $25/mo annual / $36/mo monthly (6,000 emails) |
| Mid tier | $90/mo (200,000 emails, 400,000 leads) | $69/mo annual / $99/mo monthly Pro (150,000 emails, 30,000 prospects) |
| Scale tier | $350/mo (1,000,000 emails) | $139 annual / $199 monthly Scale (240,000 emails) |
| Sender accounts | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Per-seat fee | No | No |
| Verification | Credits included (500/2,000/10,000/mo) | Paid add-on (~$19 per 5,000) |
At the entry tier, Saleshandy's $25 annual price is genuinely lower than our $40, and we won't pretend otherwise. But that price requires a 12-month commitment paid up front. If you want true month-to-month flexibility, Saleshandy's entry is closer to $36, and our $40 buys you roughly 1.6x the email volume (10,000 vs 6,000) plus included verification credits.
The annual-vs-monthly gap
Saleshandy's published prices are the annual rate. The month-to-month rate is about 40% higher across the board:
- Starter: $25 annual → ~$36 monthly
- Pro: $69 annual → $99 monthly
- Scale: $139 annual → $199 monthly
- Scale Plus: $209 annual → $299 monthly
So if you want to stay flexible and not lock in a year up front, the gap to Bulk Email Boxer's flat monthly pricing narrows or disappears. Our $90 Growth plan is slightly cheaper month-to-month than Saleshandy's Pro monthly ($99) and includes 200,000 emails and 400,000 prospects vs Saleshandy Pro's 150,000 emails and 30,000 prospects, more sending and over 13x the prospect capacity.
Verification: included credits vs paid add-on
Email verification keeps bounce rates down and protects sender reputation. This is a real, recurring cost in any serious outbound operation.
Bulk Email Boxer includes verification credits on every plan (500/2,000/10,000 per month on Starter/Growth/Scale), plus flat-rate top-up packs at $6 per 1,000 when you need more.
Saleshandy sells verification as a paid add-on (roughly $19 per 5,000 verifications, about $3.80 per 1,000). For a team verifying 10,000 contacts a month, that's an extra ~$38/month on top of the plan price. With us, that volume is largely covered by included credits on the Growth and Scale tiers.
Deliverability tooling
Saleshandy covers the basics: SMTP connection, unsubscribe links, bounce handling. It works for straightforward campaigns and has a decent track record.
Bulk Email Boxer adds:
- RFC 8058
List-Unsubscribe-Postone-click unsubscribe header injection (required for senders over 5,000/day since Gmail/Yahoo's 2024 enforcement) - Automatic DMARC/SPF guidance during domain setup
- Spintax support to prevent template fingerprinting across large sends
- real mailbox-only architecture, no shared IPs
For senders who care deeply about deliverability metrics, and if you're doing cold email, you should, these differences show up in inbox placement rates over time.
Sequence logic and depth
Saleshandy's sequence builder handles multi-step sequences with follow-ups; some advanced features (A/B testing depth, team reporting) are gated to higher tiers.
Bulk Email Boxer supports unlimited sequence steps, conditional branching (opened, clicked, replied), spintax body variation, and A/B testing on subject lines and body copy on all plans. There's no feature gating that cripples the tool on the plan most users will start on.
Tracking and analytics
Both tools provide open, click, and reply tracking per campaign.
Saleshandy's higher tiers add team reporting and per-rep analytics. Bulk Email Boxer provides real-time per-campaign analytics with per-step breakdown on all plans.
The real-world scenario
Consider a realistic outbound setup: a founder or SDR running campaigns to 500-1,000 new leads per week, using several mailboxes for inbox rotation, needing 3-5 sequence steps with follow-ups, verification on their lists, and reliable open/click tracking.
On Saleshandy, this typically lands on the Pro plan ($69/mo annual, or $99/mo if you stay flexible monthly), plus the verification add-on (~$19 per 5,000) on top.
On Bulk Email Boxer, this is the $90 Growth plan, flat monthly, no annual lock, with 200,000 emails, 400,000 prospects, and verification credits included.
So the headline gap ($25 vs $40) shrinks fast once you compare real monthly pricing and add verification, and at the mid tier our volume-per-dollar pulls clearly ahead.
Where Saleshandy still wins
- Lowest headline entry price, $25/mo on an annual plan is genuinely the cheapest nominal number in the category
- Gmail plugin, email tracking directly inside Gmail for one-off sends
- Document tracking, track when prospects open attachments (a differentiated feature)
- Team plan structure, dedicated account management on higher tiers
Where Bulk Email Boxer wins
- Flat, predictable monthly pricing, no annual lock-in required to get the listed price
- More volume per dollar at the mid tier, 200,000 emails / 400,000 prospects on $90 vs Saleshandy Pro's 150,000 / 30,000
- Verification credits included, no separate paid add-on
- Better deliverability tooling, RFC 8058 headers, spintax, DMARC guidance
- Stronger sequence logic, unlimited steps and branching on all plans
- Cleaner architecture, real mailbox-only, no shared sending infrastructure
Verdict
Saleshandy is a reasonable choice if you're testing cold email for the first time, are happy to commit annually for the lowest price, and are sending small volumes. The $25 annual price point is compelling for a basic evaluation.
For any team running a real outbound operation, meaningful volume, lists that need verifying, and a preference for month-to-month flexibility, the real comparison is closer than the headline, and at the mid tier Bulk Email Boxer delivers more sending and prospect capacity per dollar with verification bundled in.
Bulk Email Boxer is built for teams who want predictable pricing and the most value per dollar, flat monthly, more volume, verification included.
