What customers reported
“btw thank you for creating emailchaser. it is so much superior than instantly.ai. My profit in 2 or 3 months of using chaser is around $40k. well done george”
“I’ve been managing cold email campaigns for quite some time, mostly for clients using Instantly and Smartlead. Recently, I started managing campaigns for two clients on Emailchaser, and honestly, it feels much smoother and more reliable than the other platforms. I’ve also seen higher reply rates here, which has been a great result.”

The sticker price isn't the price
Instantly markets a low monthly headline, but that number only covers a slice of what you actually use. Sending is one subscription, lead-finding and verification credits are another, and every extra block of leads is a paid add-on. By the time you're sending at real volume, the bill is often three to five times the headline.
This calculator rebuilds that bill line by line at your scale (the base plan you'd land on, how many lead add-ons you'd stack, and the modules you'd add) so you can see exactly where the money goes and how it compares to a flat plan.
Flat pricing wins as you scale
The problem with usage-based pricing is that it punishes success: the more leads you load and the more you send, the more you pay. Flat pricing does the opposite, your cost is fixed while your output grows.
Emailchaser gives you unlimited sending inboxes on every plan, one subscription per tier with no add-on modules, and an import wizard for your Instantly campaigns and leads. Run the numbers above, then bring your account across.
Cost per inbox is the line to watch when you compare warmup, because warmup is priced per mailbox almost everywhere and the bill scales with every inbox you add. Emailchaser includes its email warmup service on every plan and does not cap how many sending inboxes you connect, so the ramp costs the same whether you run 5 mailboxes or 50.
Moving from Instantly: exactly what carries over
As of September 2026, the Instantly import wizard in Emailchaser has four steps: Connect, then Import, then Reconnect mailboxes, then Done. While it runs you see six live counters: campaigns, leads, leads held out, suppression, webhooks, lead lists.
Two things do not carry over untouched. Imported webhooks arrive disabled, so nothing fires until you turn each one back on. And Instantly cannot export mailbox passwords, so every sending mailbox is reconnected by OAuth for Google and Microsoft, or from a pre-filled IMAP CSV for everything else.

Common questions about Instantly's pricing
How much does Instantly actually cost?
Instantly's headline is a low monthly price, but it bills as four separate subscriptions: Email Outreach (sending) starts at $47 and jumps to $97+ with extra leads at about $87 per 25,000; Instantly Credits (the lead database) is another $47/mo for 1,500 credits, $97/mo for 5,000 or $197/mo for 10,000, rising to $1,700/mo for 200,000; the CRM is another $47–$97/mo; and Inbox Placement is another $47–$97/mo. A team using more than one of these commonly pays $150–$350+/mo. This calculator itemizes that bill at your scale.
How is this calculator's pricing sourced?
It uses Instantly's published 2026 pricing for the base plans and the per-25,000-lead add-on rate (about $87, dropping to $80 at higher volume), with those base-plan figures verified against a live Instantly workspace. Instantly Credits prices come from Instantly's pricing page and help center, checked in September 2026. Promotions and annual billing will shift your exact number, so treat the result as a close estimate.
How is Emailchaser cheaper?
Emailchaser sells one subscription per tier at the same monthly price as Instantly's matching plan, and 50% off that for as long as you stay if you are moving over from them (Instantly pricing as of August 2026) - with unlimited sending inboxes on every plan, monthly emails and lead credits included, and no separate CRM, credits or inbox placement modules to stack on top.
Can I move my campaigns over from Instantly?
Yes. As of September 2026 the import wizard runs Connect > Import > Reconnect mailboxes > Done and shows live counters for campaigns, leads, leads held out, suppression, webhooks, lead lists. Imported webhooks arrive disabled. Instantly cannot export mailbox passwords, so every mailbox is reconnected by OAuth or from a pre-filled IMAP CSV.
