Price in practice: three scenarios

A price list is one thing, the monthly invoice another. Three typical situations and what you would pay in each, including the data and verification you usually buy separately with the competition.

Switching from Mailshake to Colldly

What can be carried over, what you rebuild and how to do it without a gap in outreach. Usually one afternoon.

1
Export your contacts from Mailshake to CSV (company, email, website, name) and upload them to a lead list in Colldly. The import maps the columns itself and merges duplicates.
2
Connect the same mailboxes over SMTP and IMAP with an app password. Reputation is tied to the domain and mailbox, not the tool, so you lose nothing.
3
Carry over the blocklist and unsubscribes: export from Mailshake, import into the Blocklist. People who opted out must not get an email from the new tool either.
4
Rebuild the sequence: either templates with variables (your own copy) or let the AI write from website facts. Run both tools in parallel for two weeks and compare reply rates.
