Anjal vs Instantly: pricing and features
Instantly is a sales tool for running cold email campaigns from a dashboard. Anjal is infrastructure for agents; it has no lead database or warmup network.
Checked October 2026 against Instantly's own site. Where Instantly does not list a feature we write “Not listed”, which is not the same as “no”.
Instantly is built for sales teams and agencies who run cold email campaigns from a web dashboard. Its plans are priced by emails sent and contacts, with unlimited sending accounts and warmup on the main outreach plans, and bundles that add a lead database.
Anjal is not a sales platform. It is the mailbox layer: an API, an MCP server and apps for giving an agent or a team an inbox. You can run multi-step cadences on it, but it does not find leads or warm up a network of inboxes for you.
