What is Instantly?

Why teams switch
Why teams look for a Instantly alternative
LinkedIn in the same sequence
Visit, invite and message on LinkedIn between emails, and branch on whether they accepted. Email-only tools can’t see what happened on LinkedIn.
Messaging apps when email is ignored
Continue on WhatsApp or Telegram after a number check, with voice notes in your own voice.
Every reply in one inbox
The unified inbox collects email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram and Telegram replies, and any reply stops every channel.

FAQ
Instantly alternative: questions and answers
Something else on your mind? Get started and try it on your own accounts.
Can ReachPods rotate mailboxes like Instantly?
Yes. Inbox rotation spreads a campaign across all connected mailboxes, each with its own daily limit and warm-up, and keeps every prospect in one thread from one mailbox.
Can I move my leads from Instantly to ReachPods?
Yes. Export your leads from Instantly as a CSV and import them into a ReachPods list; columns map to lead fields and custom variables, and duplicates are merged. You can also pull leads straight from LinkedIn searches, Sales Navigator, post engagers, groups and events. See lead generation.
Can I run ReachPods and Instantly side by side?
Yes. Many teams start one campaign in ReachPods on a fresh segment while existing Instantly sequences finish, then switch fully. Add your current customers and active prospects to the ReachPods blacklist so nobody is contacted twice.
How is ReachPods priced?
Social + Email is $39 a month per connected account with every feature included, and Cold Email plans start at $39 a month. See pricing.
