Outreach goes out on a schedule and replies land in one place instead of a personal inbox.

Unlimited accounts + free warm-up on every tier makes scaled sending economics unbeatable at the entry level.

Routing, IVR, queuing, and mandatory call tagging give a small team real contact centre discipline without contact centre software.
