Outsolvi vs Saleshandy: the best Saleshandy alternative in 2026
Updated May 23, 2026
Quick answer
Outsolvi and Saleshandy serve different sales motions. Saleshandy is a web-app cold-email sequencing platform priced per account at $34 to $149 per month billed yearly, optimized for SDR volume outreach with sender warmup and mail merge from CSV. Outsolvi is an email tracking and AI follow-up tool priced at $7 per user per month billed yearly ($12 monthly), built for Account Executive relationship selling with native Outlook AND Gmail support, graded opens that keep Apple Mail Privacy Protection and bot opens out of the count, and keyword reply labels at the base tier. Saleshandy's current V3 app connects Outlook mailboxes for sending but has no Outlook add-in; that add-in exists only in the legacy V2 app.
Saleshandy is a cold-email sequencing platform. Mail merge from CSV, multi-account sender warmup, sequences with conditional steps, basic open and click tracking. The motion it was built for is volume outreach: an SDR sending 200 to 500 emails a week from a target list, optimized for sequence completion rate and reply hit rate at scale.
The current V3 app has no Outlook add-in; Saleshandy documents its Outlook add-in only for the legacy V2 app. V3 does connect Outlook and Microsoft 365 mailboxes for sending, but campaigns and replies live in the Saleshandy web app rather than in Outlook. If you bought it before V3 and depended on the Outlook add-in, the options were thin: stay on legacy V2, work from the web app, or switch tools.
Which brings the actual comparison into focus. Saleshandy is the right shape if you are an SDR running cold-email at volume on Gmail, with sender warmup as a feature you actively use. It is not the right shape if you are an Account Executive doing relationship selling, you work in Outlook, or you care about sender reputation enough to avoid the cold-blast pattern.
Saleshandy is built for SDR cold-email volume: mail merge at scale, sender warmup, sequences with high send velocity, and an Outlook plugin that works only with the legacy V2 app, though Outlook mailboxes can still be connected for sending on the current app. Outsolvi is built for the opposite motion. Account Executive relationship selling, one-to-one prospect tracking, accuracy-first opens graded as a person or a machine, follow-ups that stop on reply, native Outlook AND Gmail support. If your team is doing cold outreach at high volume on Gmail and accepts the deliverability tradeoffs, Saleshandy fits. If your team is doing AE-grade prospecting in Outlook or a mix, Outsolvi is the structurally different answer.

Why teams choose Outsolvi
Outsolvi is built for the motion Saleshandy explicitly is not. Account Executive relationship selling, one-to-one tracking, sender reputation preservation, native Outlook and Gmail both. Where Saleshandy optimizes for sequence completion rate at scale, Outsolvi optimizes for engagement signal quality on the individual prospects that matter to pipeline. The product runs natively in Outlook (classic, web and new Outlook) and Gmail through a Chrome extension, with one unified dashboard. Every open is graded as verified (the person replied), most likely human, possibly human, or a machine, and only the first two are counted, which means the engagement numbers you act on are the actual humans on the other side of the email, not preview-pane fires from Apple Mail Privacy Protection. Keyword reply labels, the hot-lead flag and Write with AI follow-up drafts are included at $7 per user per month yearly. There is no cold-email volume optimization in Outsolvi because that is not what the product is for.
Where Saleshandy excels
Saleshandy is mature in one specific direction: cold-email volume tooling. Mail merge from CSV is solid. The sender warmup feature has had years of refinement and is one of the more credible reasons to be on this platform if you are running cold outbound. The template library for cold sequences is one of the largest in the category. If you are running a high-volume outbound motion at 200 to 500 sends per rep per week and your team has accepted the deliverability tradeoffs that come with that volume, Saleshandy's tooling is built around exactly that workflow. The Starter plan at $34 per month billed yearly (one seat, with 10 seats on Pro at $76) is also competitive against the other cold-email platforms (Lemlist, Instantly, Smartlead) at similar volume tiers.
Which is right for your team
Honest framing of who each tool fits best. Not every team is the same buyer.
AE running relationship selling, 50 to 150 emails per week, Outlook-heavy team
Founder uses Outlook on the web from a Mac, the AE team picked up Outlook from the company, decisions are made by reading individual prospect behavior. Sender reputation matters because the company's brand domain is the one being used.
Outsolvi. Saleshandy's Outlook plugin works only with its legacy V2 app, so Outlook-heavy teams on the current app work from its web app instead of their inbox. The motion (one-to-one relationship selling) is also not what Saleshandy optimizes for. Outsolvi is built for exactly this shape.
SDR team doing high-volume cold outbound at 200 to 500 emails per rep per week, all on Gmail
Mail merge from prospect lists, sequences with conditional steps, sender warmup actively in use, the metric the team optimizes is sequence completion rate and reply hit rate at the campaign level.
Saleshandy. This is genuinely what the tool was built for. Outsolvi is not a cold-email volume platform and pretending otherwise would be misleading.
Team that lost the Outlook add-in when moving to Saleshandy V3
Reps were on Outlook in V2, V3 dropped the add-in, the team has been making do with web-only access while sales ops looks for a replacement that supports the inbox the team actually uses.
Outsolvi. The migration path is direct. Add the Outsolvi Outlook add-in from your dashboard, sign in with the business email, and tracking starts on the next send. Sequences and templates do not migrate one-to-one between systems, so plan on a template-export from Saleshandy as a backup before canceling.
Switching from Saleshandy to Outsolvi
What to expect, in order. The 14-day Outsolvi trial covers the whole switch.
Day 0 (before you cancel)
Export your Saleshandy sequences and templates as a record (Settings, Sequences, Export). Note your daily send volume per rep. You will want both as a baseline. Outsolvi does not import them automatically because the sequencing motion is different in shape, but you have a record.
Day 1
Add Outsolvi's Outlook add-in from your dashboard (classic, web and new Outlook), or install the Gmail Chrome extension, depending on where your team works. Sign in with the business email. Send your next prospect emails individually rather than as part of a sequence. Tracking starts the moment you hit send.
Day 7
Compare engagement numbers against what you remember from Saleshandy. Open rates will look different because Apple Mail Privacy Protection fetches and scanner opens are now labelled and left out of the count. Reply rate is the cleaner signal to compare on. If reply rate held, the lower opens are noise leaving the data.
Day 30
Cancel Saleshandy once you're sure the volume features (mail merge from CSV, multi-account warmup) weren't what made your pipeline work. Outsolvi's follow-ups send from your own mailbox and stop when someone replies, and Write with AI can draft them, without the deliverability risk of cold-blast volume.
Frequently asked questions
Does Saleshandy V3 still work with Outlook?+
Partly. Saleshandy V3 connects Outlook and Microsoft 365 mailboxes for sending sequences, but it has no Outlook add-in: Saleshandy documents its Outlook add-in only for the legacy V2 app, and V3 ships a Chrome extension instead. For Outlook-using teams, that means running campaigns and reading tracking in the Saleshandy web app rather than in Outlook. Outsolvi has native Outlook add-ins for classic, web and new Outlook, and a Gmail Chrome extension, with no announced plans to deprecate either.
Is Outsolvi a cold-email sequencing tool like Saleshandy?+
No. Outsolvi is an email tracking and AI follow-up tool built for Account Executive relationship selling, not for SDR volume outreach. Outsolvi has email sequences for one-to-one follow-up automation, but the product is not optimized for mail-merge-from-CSV cold-blast campaigns. If volume outbound is your team's primary motion, Saleshandy or one of its peers (Lemlist, Instantly, Smartlead) is the right shape. If individual prospect tracking with engagement signal accuracy is the motion, Outsolvi is.
What about deliverability when running cold email through Saleshandy?+
This is a known tradeoff with any high-volume cold-outbound tooling. Sending 200 to 500 emails per rep per week from cold domains carries real deliverability risk. Saleshandy includes sender warmup tooling specifically to address this, which is one of the strongest reasons to use the platform if you are doing volume outbound. Outsolvi is not built for that motion at all, so the deliverability question does not apply in the same way. Outsolvi is built for one-to-one email from your own mailbox, where your domain's reputation is already established.
Can Outsolvi do mail merge from a CSV?+
Not in the same way Saleshandy can. Outsolvi supports email sequences with personalization tokens, but the workflow is closer to one-to-one templated send with engagement tracking, not mass-blast from a spreadsheet. If CSV-driven mail merge at volume is the specific capability you need, Saleshandy or a dedicated cold-email tool is the right shape.
What is the price difference?+
Saleshandy is priced per account, not per user. Starter is $34 per month billed yearly ($41 monthly) for one seat, Pro is $76 ($99 monthly) for 10 seats, Scale is $149 ($189 monthly) with unlimited seats. Outsolvi Individual is $7 per user per month billed yearly ($12 monthly), Pro is $20 per user per month billed yearly. So for one rep, Outsolvi yearly versus Saleshandy Starter yearly is roughly 4.9x cheaper. The direct price comparison is misleading because the two tools serve different sales motions. The comparison is more 'AE tracking vs SDR sequencing' than feature-for-feature.
We lost the Outlook add-in when we moved to Saleshandy V3. What now?+
This is one of the most common reasons teams migrate to Outsolvi. The migration path is direct. Add Outsolvi's Outlook add-in from your dashboard (classic, web and new Outlook all supported), bring your team back to the inbox they prefer, and tracking starts immediately on next send. The 14-day free trial covers the transition. Sequences and templates do not migrate one-to-one between systems, so plan on exporting your Saleshandy templates as a record before canceling.
The fastest answer is the 14-day free trial against your real send volume. No credit card, setup in 2 minutes.
If your team is running high-volume cold outbound on Gmail with sender warmup as a feature you actively use, Saleshandy is the right shape and Outsolvi is not. If your team is running AE-grade relationship selling, you work in Outlook (or want to), and you miss the Outlook add-in V3 left behind, Outsolvi is the structurally different answer. The 14-day Outsolvi free trial costs nothing to test against your real prospect-facing workflow. Most teams who migrate from Saleshandy to Outsolvi are moving away from cold-blast outbound toward relationship-selling motions anyway, which means the tool change is one part of a bigger workflow change.
