hi guys, here's the tech stack I shared with a client to build a cold email setup to send 500 emails/day. I might have underestimated some operational costs to meet this goal. Thoughts?

  1. 1.

    Clay (€331/month)

  2. 2.

    Prospeo (€37/month)

  3. 3.

    Enrichley (€55/month)

  4. 4.

    La Growth Machine (€60/month)

  5. 5.

    Million Verifier (€35): 10,000 email validation credits.

  6. 6.

    Smartlead (€89/month)

  7. 7.

    Apollo

  8. 8.

    Export Apollo (€48/month)

  9. 9.

    Email Guard (€51/month)

  10. 10.

    OpenAI API (€150/month)

  11. 11.

    Breakcold CRM (€27/month)

  12. 12.

    Google Workspace (€172.50/month for 25 users).

  13. 13.

    Secondary domains (€195 total)

Total monthly cost: ~€1,102.75 excl. VAT Would you adjust anything or add tools to make this setup more efficient ? Thx :)

    Leadmagic/Bounceban would be something to consider for sure.

    Prospeo/Enrichley/MillionVerifier can be replaced by Findymail (finding + verification + catch-all verification) OpenAI cost seems high for your volume, which model are you using?

    alex do give hatchhq.ai a look, it is like an orchestrator that you can use to achieve all the enrichment level tasks on pay as you go pricing
