The short answer

An email engine, or a colleague on every channel.

Both offer data and AI agents. The difference is how many channels the work covers, and what happens around the send.

Key differences

What you get beyond the inbox.

Instantly centres on email. These nine things reach further.

01

Multichannel outreach in one place

All your channels sit in one sequence, so every touch with a lead stays in one place.

02

Replies on both channels

The Reply Agent answers interested leads, and the unified inbox sorts every reply by AI. Instantly describes its Reply Agent for email outreach.

03

Signals beyond email lists

Routines watch social networks, job portals and buying signals around the clock, including engagers of your or competitors' posts and champions' job changes.

04

One plan, one credit pool

Your whole team shares one plan and one credit pool. Instantly lists outreach and credits as separate plans.

05

It proposes the next move

Leadspicker spots idle lists and unanswered replies, and suggests what to do. You approve, and can undo.

06

Lookalikes of your best customers

Find companies that look like the accounts you already won, then the right people inside them.

07

Productive from day one

No training and no filters to master. Your reps and marketers ask in plain language and the platform does the setup, so the learning curve takes minutes.

08

Type it or say it

Leadspicker works like a virtual colleague: a chat interface for everything, with voice input in the AI Assistant and in lead search.

09

More cost-effective

Data, signals, outreach, agents and inbox come in one plan, with credits shared across the team, so you stop paying for a stack of tools.

How it works

How your AI sales colleague works.

From your website to a running campaign, on multichannel outreach, without a separate cold email setup.

01

It learns your company

Paste your website. Leadspicker scans it and drafts your offering, buyers, markets and competitors. You confirm in one step.

02

It prepares your plays

Instead of starting from a cold email campaign, you get playbooks with a preview of matching people, and you see each step before anything runs.

03

Agents do the work

They build the list, enrich it, write the sequence and run the outreach. Choose Edit, Plan or Auto for how much they ask.

04

It keeps coming back

It remembers what worked and proposes the next step, in the app or in your Slack, Teams, WhatsApp or Google Chat.
