Our verdict

The bottom line on Smartlead.

Smartlead is our agency management layer. We use it alongside Instantly because the sub-account and white-label features are unmatched. More complex to set up, but the agency-specific features justify the learning curve. The SmartDelivery inbox testing tool is genuinely useful.

Best for

  • Agencies managing 5+ client accounts
  • Teams needing white-label reporting
  • Multi-channel outbound campaigns

Not for

  • Solo senders who need simplicity
  • Teams that don't need sub-accounts
