Email outreach tool that doesn't lock you in
Stop paying per seat for cold email automation. Linki runs on your own infrastructure-full control, flat pricing, no vendor lock-in. Deploy in minutes.
Why self-hosted email outreach tool pricing wins
Email outreach platforms trap you in per-seat pricing and vendor lock-in. Self-hosted changes the math entirely.
Flat-rate pricing
Lemlist charges $495 monthly for 5 users. Linki on Opsily costs $20 flat, unlimited team members. No per-seat fees. No surprise bills when you add your first outreach person.
Own your data
Your lead lists, sequences, and response data live on your infrastructure. No API access restrictions, no data exports delays. You control backups, retention, everything. This matters when compliance teams ask questions.
Never paused by vendor changes
SaaS platforms change terms, pricing, or shut down. Your self-hosted email outreach keeps running. No migration nightmares. No renegotiating contracts when your supplier gets acquired.
Built for teams who need reliability
Self-hosted beats per-seat SaaS

What is an email outreach tool?
An email outreach tool automates 1-to-1 sequences to cold prospects. Unlike bulk newsletter software, it focuses on low-volume, high-personalization campaigns. You send 50-500 emails per day, typically in short sequences: 3-5 touch points over 2-3 weeks.
Why email outreach works
Cold email outreach converts because it's personal. You're targeting specific people, not lists. You're not broadcasting-you're starting conversations. That changes response rates dramatically.
The tradeoff: you need to warm up your email domain and reputation. Sending 1,000 emails on day one destroys deliverability. An email warmup tool gradually builds sender reputation so your cold email actually reaches inboxes.
Self-hosted vs. SaaS email outreach
SaaS platforms like Lemlist, Instantly, and Smartlead charge per user. That adds up. A growing sales team of 10 people can spend $5,000-$10,000 monthly just on outreach tools.
Self-hosted email outreach flips the model. You deploy once, pay flat. Add 10 people or 100-cost stays the same. You also control:
- Sending infrastructure: Your own IP, domain, SMTP settings. SaaS tools share infrastructure-if they send spam, it affects your deliverability.
- Data retention: Your lead database, campaign results, and personal responses. Never locked in export walls.
- Compliance: GDPR, CCPA, or SOC 2-you decide how data is handled, where it lives, how long it stays.

Common questions about email outreach
Everything you need to know before deploying.
Email outreach targets specific people with personalized 1-to-1 sequences. Bulk email (newsletters) sends the same message to thousands. Cold email focuses on low volume, high relevance. Inbox providers (Gmail, Outlook) treat them differently. Cold email sequences can send 50-500 emails per day from one domain without damaging deliverability, if warmed up properly. Marketing newsletters can send millions. The tools are different. Linki is built for cold outreach, not bulk broadcasting.
