Considered Both Products
Mailshake
Chose Mailshake
You can use Mailchimp or SendGrid for similar use, with Mailchimp the email automation is limited, and SendGrid holds up quite well. However, Mailshake is strictly designed and well equipped for email outreach and unusually cold emails, and its usability is second to none.
Chose Mailshake
For more advanced email campaigns, I use ActiveCampaign and the email sending provider because it gives more control and options related to the drip rules. Besides that, for simple campaigns that need to be followed up in a great, quick, and simple way, Mailshake is perfect …
Chose Mailshake
These tools are undoubtedly reputable products that are used by millions of users. However, for the goal of lead generation by cold emailing, Mailshake shines by its genius approach of highest possible personalization of the messages. We see incredible results with every …
Chose Mailshake
While MailChimp is an established email marketing platform, it is more suitable for jobs like sending out email newsletters or welcome messages.
Mailshake is a niche product that shines in cold email and drip campaigns that are highly personalized for each recipient. However, it …
Chose Mailshake
We looked at several email marketing solutions to find a solution for our email outreach campaign but decided to go with Mailshake because of it's deep focus on email outreach, ease of use and pricing. Mailshake also integrates well with other software via Zapier so we did not …
Mixmax
Chose Mixmax
Truly is easier for phone capabilities (letting customers call you back and having it go to your phone but still being a fake number), while mixmax is much better for email sending and tracking via gmail. Truly had no email capabilities when I was using it, so it was only …
Chose Mixmax
All due respect to Boomerang, but it simply doesn't compare (in my experience) to Mixmax. Mixmax is significantly easier to use, the features are more relevant, and the customer service is excellent. Mixmax has increased my productivity tenfold! I recommend it to all of my …
Chose Mixmax
Calendly is a good tool and has similar benefits to Mixmax. However, the email templates are easier to use in Mixmax and the calendar availability tool is something that Calendly does not do well. There is less control in Calendly and Mixmax's tool is unique and far superior.
Chose Mixmax
Mixmax allows for more personalization and a better response rate. It doesn't have the same customizability as mailchimp but at least people read your emails and they don't just get sent to a promotions folder.
Chose Mixmax
It is more advance than Outreach. It has one of the best integration features, easily integrate with other soft wares that we already were using. For example, it easily integrates with Salesforce and other CRM too. Support team is Mixmax is by far the most responsive and fair …
Chose Mixmax
Mixmax's extension always load and is always on. With Outreach, we'd have to sign into it every day. If we forgot to sign in, nothing is tracked.
Chose Mixmax
I find the handling of Mixmax much easier. They are actually almost the same tools, but I find Mixmax much easier to use.
Chose Mixmax
I have only used Mixmax. When I worked at Yelp we used in-house service for our templates however there was no sequencing effect. We had to touch each account every other day because we were simply outbound. At my current role, I am doing inbound, outbound, and I have meetings …
Chose Mixmax
I love Acuity & Mixmax for different purposes.

Acuity is great for running something like a coaching business - or a calendar that gets lots of calls booked every day or every week.
Chose Mixmax
Tellwise is a bit more expensive $29/month/user and provides a bit more extended functionality for email and marketing automation. However, Mixmax's feature-set is still suitable for marketing automation and covers everything that is necessary for most sales for early-stage …
Chose Mixmax
Mixmax combines the functions of all these software products (plus, I'm sure, many more out there) and integrates them all seamlessly into their platform. It also has more features that are fantastic to have such as tracking analytics, sequencing, scheduling, and reminders. …
Chose Mixmax
Acuity Scheduling, Calendly, Bananatag, Hubspot Sidekick (since rebranded to Hubspot sales).

It does all the features that these have, and better. Can iframe your calendar into your own website which allows for even better tracking and analytics than Calendly, gives more info on …
Chose Mixmax
Mixmax is far better than HubSpot's alternative because when I used HubSpot, they did not have a "remind" feature, only basic email open tracking. The ability to select a date and time to be reminded with Mixmax and also track link clicks is superior in my experience. There may …
Chose Mixmax
Yesware has a terrible interface and even worse support. Tried them for a while and switched to Mixmax.
Chose Mixmax
MixMax completely beats out Yesware and SharpSpring. While comparable in price to Yesware, you get several more features. MixMax is at a much lower price point compared to SharpSpring, and includes all the same functionality of email tracking and scheduling out multiple …

Mailshake is great for cold prospecting and drip email campaigns. I do not think Mailshake is well-suited for hyper-personalized one-to-one emailing.
Read full review
Mixmax is very well suited for sharing calendar availability via email with a client. Multiple time blocks can be shared, and the bridge between Gmail and other colleagues allows you to hold a meeting time on calendars to prevent overbooking with colleagues. This is extremely helpful when scheduling a large call and juggling many people's schedules.

Pros
  • Saving time by sending pre-defined follow up messages to those who do not open the email or respond.
  • Great detailed stats in the dashboard.
  • Integration with CRM for automatic import of leads.
  • Great deliverability of emails with G Suite integration.

  • The scheduling integration is really easy for email recipients. It is quite literally one-click for them to schedule an event from a meeting time list interface.
  • The interface is extremely well-designed and intuitive across the board. This makes it really easy to learn their software and integrate it into your workflow.
  • Their pricing is *extremely* convenient for startups. Their "starter" plan is extremely affordable (currently $9/month/user), and includes unlimited tracking, templates, reminders, automation, etc... Basically, everything you would need to upgrade your email automation workflow.

Cons
  • Mailshake works only with Gmail/G Suite accounts.
  • The only option for customizing emails is in the CSV file. It would be great if there were a feature in the tool for this.
  • Missing starts about the total number of opens of an email (it is only tracked once).
Read full review
  • On occasion, Mixmax fails to sync to my email and I've had to reach out to support to remedy the issue.
  • Offering "link click tracking" for the lowest plan would be great for users, especially those new to the software so they can realize more of the benefits.
  • For the lower plan, I wish email opens were able to be tracked when sending to multiple people in the same email.

Usability
I found it pretty good - we were able to put email templates and campaigns together almost immediately. The reason I gave it an 8 is because if you want to edit those templates, the saving and making sure they were part of the campaigns was a little tricky and not intuitive.

Support Rating
Quick support. They offer very extensive and detailed tutorials on how to use the tool, as well as how to succeed in sending emails the right way. It probably reduces the number of support tickets and general support needs. The videos make it very easy to use their solutions. Great way to educate new clients.

Every time I have reached out to Mixmax I automatically get an email from a trained professional who has perfect insight into my issue with an understandable reason to why I am having and issue offers me a solution. The wait time is only around 5 minutes and they are always offering sympathy in certain situations.

Return on Investment
  • I'd say it was a net negative for us because the initiative did not lead to sales for us. It was probably HOW we were using it, and not the fault of the product itself. If you have luck with cold emails, and just need a new platform, Mailshake could be a great, and inexpensive option. Our loss was mostly employee time, and learning what doesn't work for us is a positive in the end.

  • Email tracking gives me the results of emails, whether or not the client is interested when they open and read the email which makes it the best platform.
  • The automated sending email is the big feature in Mixmax, the system automatically send the email on respective entries which actually saves the time and help in be productive at work.
