Cons ❌

  • Cons ❌
  • Email-Only Outreach: No multichannel capabilities for LinkedIn, calling, WhatsApp, or SMS, limiting engagement options compared to full-featured sales engagement platforms.
  • Volume Limitations on Lower Tiers: Growth plan's 5,000 monthly email limit may be insufficient for serious outreach operations, forcing upgrades to significantly more expensive plans.
  • Limited Personalization Depth: Basic variable system lacks advanced personalization features like dynamic content generation or behavioral triggers found in more sophisticated platforms.
  • Inconsistent Deliverability Reports: Some users report sudden drops in deliverability scores and emails landing in spam despite proper warmup, with limited visibility into root causes.
  • Customer Support Concerns: Multiple user complaints about slow response times, unclear billing practices, and difficulty resolving technical issues, especially during critical campaign periods.
  • Integration Limitations: While Zapier/Make connections exist, native CRM integration is primarily one-way for activity data, requiring third-party tools like OutboundSync for true bidirectional sync.
