ABOUT
The source ledger
This page prints the registry that every price table on the site is built from. For each tool you get the exact vendor page we read, the date we read it, and the caveat we recorded on that source. Below the table, the things we could not source, and the claims on this site that rest on no source at all because we made them up on purpose.
Vendor pages behind every figure
The site holds one entry per tool. Every price table, cost ladder and comparison on WhichWarmup is generated from these entries, so this table is not a summary of our sources: it is the source.
| Tool | What we record | Source we read | Last read | Caveat on the source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MailReach | Plans, list prices and published limits | www.mailreach.co/pricing | The pricing page ran a seasonal promotion (20% off the first 30 days of warming) when checked; confirm the current per-mailbox rate on the official page. | |
| Warmup Inbox | Plans, list prices and published limits | www.warmupinbox.com/pricing | Pricing is per inbox; annual billing is advertised at 20% off. A 7-day free trial is offered without a card. | |
| Instantly | Plans, list prices and published limits | instantly.ai/pricing | Warmup is bundled into the sending plans, not sold separately; annual billing lowers the monthly rate. | |
| GlockApps | Plans, list prices and published limits | glockapps.com/pricing/ | Plans are sold by spam test credits; annual billing is advertised at about 30% off. A free tier includes 2 tests. | |
| ZeroBounce | Plans, list prices and published limits | www.zerobounce.net/services/pricing/ | One credit verifies one email; unknown results and duplicates are not charged. Credits are sold pay-as-you-go or via a monthly subscription. |
Other sources this site relies on
Some pages rest on documentation rather than on pricing. These are the other publishers we read, and what we take from each.
| Source | What we take from it | Used on |
|---|---|---|
| Google Workspace sending limits | Published per-user daily recipient limits and what counts against them | Workspace and Microsoft 365 |
| Google third-party access and revocation | How an app's mailbox access is granted, reviewed and revoked | Pilot protocol, Switching tools |
| Exchange Online limits | Published recipient rate and message limits for Microsoft 365 mailboxes | Workspace and Microsoft 365 |
| RFC 7489, DMARC | What a DMARC policy is and what an aggregate report contains | Reading a placement test |
What has no source, and why
Three kinds of statement on this site do not come from a source, and it would be dishonest to let them sit in a table as if they did.
Invented on purpose, and labelled
- Every sample placement report and sample client report. We wrote them to show you how to read one. Each carries a fictional label in its own header, and none describes a real domain, a real sender or a real result.
- The worked examples in the cost calculator. They use registry prices, but the mailbox and sender counts are illustrations, not observations.
Judgement, and presented as ours
- Which tool suits which diagnosis, and when you should buy nothing. That is reasoning from the sourced facts, not a measurement.
- Which criteria matter in a comparison, and the order we put them in.
- Which vendor phrasing we consider indefensible in front of a client.
No measurement of our own
The most important line in this ledger is the empty one. WhichWarmup has run no deliverability test, no warmup campaign and no placement measurement. We hold no mailboxes, we have not subscribed to these tools, and we have nothing in the way of first-hand performance data.
That is why no page here ranks tools on effectiveness, and why no page claims a tool improved anything. Where the site tells you how to obtain evidence, it hands you a protocol to run yourself, with a control group and a list of the variables that will otherwise fool you. If that ever changes, the test and its raw results will appear in this ledger before any conclusion drawn from them appears anywhere else.
Questions people also ask
Are the prices on this site current?
They are what the vendor published on the date shown in the ledger. Vendors change plans without notice, so treat the date as a freshness indicator and use the link to the vendor's own page before you buy. If you find a difference, tell us and we will update the registry.
Are the placement reports on this site real?
No. Every sample report on WhichWarmup was written by us to demonstrate how to read one, and each carries a fictional label where it appears. No real domain, sender or result is shown anywhere on the site.
Why is one list verification tool missing?
Because its site refused our request and we have no dated reading of its pricing. We would rather leave a gap than publish a figure we could not source.
