SMTP package calculator

Plan safe sending capacity before you buy inboxes.

Translate list size, sequence length, send days, and risk tolerance into domains, inboxes, SMTP capacity, warmup assumptions, and a monthly planning estimate.

Planning from $99/mo + inboxes

Shared SMTP

For teams that want GTM-managed SMTP capacity, readiness gates, and sequencer exports without dedicated IP isolation on day one.

Best for: First client launches, internal dogfood, early agency rollout.

Planning from $249/mo + IP capacity

Dedicated SMTP

For customers that need dedicated infrastructure planning, stronger isolation, and explicit IP capacity before raising send caps.

Best for: Scaled agency programs and higher-volume client workspaces.

Placeholder until reseller terms are proven

Provider-backed mix

Future Microsoft and Google Workspace planning assumptions are included so buyers can model mixed fleets without claiming reseller readiness.

Best for: Planning native-provider expansion after reseller access is approved.

Why GTM prices above commodity

You are not paying for mailbox slots. You are paying for control.

Shared-IP panels race to the floor and pass the contamination risk to you. GTM value-prices above that floor and funds the layer that keeps sending safe: self-healing recovery, fail-closed export, measured proof, and an agent-native control plane.

Self-healing recovery

Burned credentials, blacklisted IPs, and dead domains get auto-replaced on operator approval.

Recovery events drive credential rotation, healthy-IP swaps, and spare-domain migration so a single failure does not strand a workspace.

Readiness-gated, fail-closed export

Inboxes only export to your sequencer once SMTP readiness passes — per row, fail-closed.

No blind sends: DNS, smoke tests, launch gates, suppression, and rate limits all clear before a single message leaves.

Placement and deliverability proof

Seed placement, manual phrase tests, an email tester, and DMARC monitoring measure where mail actually lands.

A redacted public proof feed publishes pooled cohort metrics once measured — pending the first prospect batch — instead of unverified placement claims.

Agent-native control plane

A read-only CLI and MCP server plus one-call provisioning let agents operate the infrastructure.

Auto-provision chains DKIM, inbox creation, and readiness polling behind a single call, reusing the same fail-closed gates as the dashboard.

What is included

The control layer ships with every tier.

Tiers differ on IP isolation and capacity, not on whether you get the safety layer. Prices below are planning anchors, not a final quote.

Calculator

Model the campaign before provisioning.

Defaults use conservative GTM sending-policy caps: 25 emails per inbox per day, 3 inboxes per domain, and 30-day warmup. Increase only when reputation stays green.

Readiness notes

  • Treat this as a planning estimate, not a quote or deliverability guarantee.
  • Readiness gates, seed-placement evidence, and fresh SMTP/IMAP smoke tests still decide exportability.
  • GTM-managed shared SMTP capacity; IP count is a planning signal, not a line item.

Claims guardrails

Capacity is not permission to send.

The calculator helps scope infrastructure. Actual export and prospect sending still depend on readiness reports, launch gates, suppression, rate limits, alerts, and operator decisions.

No inbox placement, warmup, or ban-immunity guarantee is implied by a calculator result.
New workspaces still start behind seed-only, internal dogfood, and tiny-batch launch gates.
Aggressive caps require green reputation evidence; use conservative caps for new domains.
Provider-backed Microsoft and Google options are planning placeholders until reseller terms are live.
