# Warmerly > Warmerly is automated email warmup software for cold outreach. It builds real sender reputation across Gmail and Outlook mailboxes so cold email lands in the inbox instead of the spam folder. Warmerly runs continuous, human-like warmup conversations between your mailboxes and an aged peer pool, monitors inbox placement against seed accounts, automatically rescues messages from spam, and reports a health score per mailbox. It is warmup-only (no campaign sender) and integrates with whatever outreach tool you already use. Built for SDRs, agencies, and outbound teams. Pricing starts at $19/month (Starter), with every plan including email, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp warmup and unlimited mailboxes. ## What is email warmup? Email warmup is the process of gradually sending and engaging with mail from a new or low-volume sending mailbox so that providers like Gmail and Outlook learn to treat it as a trusted human sender. A warmup tool such as Warmerly connects to your mailbox via OAuth and runs continuous, human-like conversations (sends, replies with quoted history, stars, label, mark important, and spam-folder rescue) against an aged peer pool, building the baseline reputation a mailbox needs before any cold outreach is sent. ## Product - [Home](https://warmerly.com/): What Warmerly does, who it is for, and how it lands you in the inbox. - [Features](https://warmerly.com/features): Pool-based warmup, inbox-placement monitoring, spam rescue, health scoring, ramp schedules. - [How it works](https://warmerly.com/how-it-works): The warmup model: peer pool, human-like sends and replies, daily ramp, and placement tests. - [Pricing](https://warmerly.com/pricing): Three tiers, email + LinkedIn included on every plan: Starter from $19/mo, Growth from $49/mo, Agency from $179/mo. - [Deliverability guide](https://warmerly.com/deliverability-guide): A practical guide to cold-email deliverability: authentication, warmup, list hygiene, and monitoring. - [Glossary](https://warmerly.com/glossary): Plain-English definitions for every term in email warmup, deliverability, and cold outreach. ## Comparisons - [Warmerly vs Instantly.ai](https://warmerly.com/compare/instantly): Instantly bills $37+ per mailbox slot.
