FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how Firstsales protects your domain, lands emails in inboxes, and turns cold outreach into revenue—everything in one place.
Yes. Instantly charges $97/mo for 62% inbox placement. FirstSales delivers 87% at $28/mo. That's $828 saved per year with better results. Our smart warm-up mimics human behavior better than their basic warm-up, and we include free list cleaning (they charge $47/mo extra).
Most customers fully migrate in under 30 minutes. Export your leads as CSV, connect your email accounts to FirstSales, and launch. Your campaign data, lead lists, and settings all transfer seamlessly.
Yes. We have everything Instantly offers: unlimited sending accounts, AI personalization, A/B testing, analytics, webhook integrations, and more. The difference is we don't hide features behind expensive tiers or charge for essentials like list cleaning.
Instantly's warm-up is decent but outdated. Our 21-day smart warm-up uses variable timing, realistic engagement patterns, and gradual increases that spam filters can't detect. Result: 87% vs their 62% inbox placement.
No. Instantly charges $47/mo extra for list cleaning. FirstSales includes it free because protecting your domain shouldn't be a premium feature. We clean every list before sending.
Yes. Connect Gmail, Outlook, or any IMAP provider. We auto-configure SPF, DKIM, DMARC. Same as Instantly—just faster setup and better results.
Cancel anytime. No penalties. No hidden fees. No long-term contracts. You pay month-to-month. If FirstSales isn't delivering results, you shouldn't pay.
We offer live chat support, email support, and comprehensive documentation. Instantly primarily offers email support on lower tiers. We prioritize helping every customer succeed.
