Pricing LocalSMTP when your sales team is two people

You pay once for a count of mailboxes, and the count is the only lever that moves the price. Starter covers 5, Studio covers 15 and Floor covers 50. A two-person team writing to operations managers in named countries will find that a handful of mailboxes carries a lot of outbound work when each one is used with care.

What sits inside that payment is standard SMTP and IMAP mailboxes, browser webmail for whoever prefers it, and the warm-up and authentication checks you run around setup. The tiers are published on softwareprogrammer.app, so you can read the count against your own sending rhythm before you commit to anything.

Nothing in the tier buys you recipients. The operations managers you want to reach come from your own research, your own shortlists and whatever verification you already trust. Treat the price as the cost of the sending side of your work, and treat list building as a separate job with its own time cost.

Five mailboxes is the smallest step, and for two people it is usually enough to test an approach across a few countries without spreading effort thin. Starter keeps the setup small, which matters when you are still learning which subject lines and which opening paragraphs get operations managers to reply.

Fifteen mailboxes, the Studio tier, suits a team that has found a working message and wants room to rotate mailboxes while warm-up and authentication checks run in the background. It costs more than Starter because you are buying capacity, and capacity only pays back once the smaller set is genuinely busy.

Floor, at fifty mailboxes, is for volume that a two-person team rarely reaches. Buying the largest tier early ties money to mailboxes you may not fill, so read the table on softwareprogrammer.app and match the count to the number of conversations you can personally follow up.

Will a big list of names still leave you with nobody who can sign off a demo? That worry is fair, and it belongs to your sourcing rather than to the mailbox tier. LocalSMTP supplies the sending side. Which operations managers you write to, and whether they hold budget, is a question your own research settles long before a mailbox is involved.

What the tiers do give you is a clean place to send from, with SMTP and IMAP mailboxes, webmail in the browser, and warm-up and authentication checks around them. None of that inspects the quality of a name. A poorly chosen recipient list will still produce poor replies from a well configured mailbox.

The realistic answer is to pair a small tier with a strict rule about who goes on your list. Decide the titles, the countries and the company sizes you will accept, and refuse anything outside that. The mailbox then does its job, and your objection about empty decision makers gets handled where it starts, in the sourcing.

Compare the tiers by the number of conversations two people can carry, not by the mailbox count alone. Starter suits a narrow test. Studio suits a repeatable message across several countries. Floor suits outbound that has outgrown what two people can personally answer each day.

Compare the tiers by what you already have. If your own research produces a steady stream of verified operations managers, a larger tier makes sense sooner. If sourcing is still patchy, a smaller tier protects your budget while you fix the harder problem first.

Compare them by the extras you might want, because services beyond the mailbox count are priced on their own. Read the published table on softwareprogrammer.app, note what each tier includes, and only then decide. The count is the headline, but the full table is what you actually agree to.
