Instantly is cold email infrastructure: unlimited sending accounts, warmup and deliverability tools, sequences, a database of more than 450 million contacts sold through credits, and AI agents on top. Coldpitch does not send email. It finds companies with a reason to hear from a marketer right now, reads their marketing from outside, finds the right person on X or Telegram, and drafts one first message from what it actually found. If your channel is email and your job is sending it at volume without landing in spam, Instantly is the tool. If your job is finding the companies that need you and saying something true to each, that is Coldpitch.

Where Instantly is better
- Email at volume. Unlimited sending accounts on a flat fee, warmup and a deliverability network. Coldpitch sends nothing.
- Sequences and follow-ups, with an automation builder included in every outreach plan.
- A contact database and AI agents in the same product.
- Available today, with a free trial and published prices.
Where Coldpitch is different
- It is not a sender. It works on the two questions before sending: who has a reason to hear from you, and what would be worth saying to them.
- Events, not lists. A raise, a marketing hire, a sponsorship, a paid promo post. Some of those are worth far more than others.
- Direct messages on X and Telegram, one per company, written only from facts it found. When a DM beats an email depends on who your buyer is.
Which one to pick
Pick Instantly if email is your channel and volume is your plan.
Pick Coldpitch if your buyers are founders and marketers who answer on X and Telegram, and you would rather send ten researched messages than a thousand.

Try Coldpitch and skip the manual part
It finds the accounts worth writing to, spots the weak point, digs out who to talk to on Telegram or X, and writes the first message from what it actually found. Less work than doing this by hand, and better leads at the end of it.
