DoYouMail vs Premium Inboxes
Done-for-you Google Workspace & Microsoft 365 inboxes
DoYouMail
Horizontal cold email infrastructure - scale with dedicated servers, not crammed domains
- 3-4 email IDs per domain per server - cold email best practice, not cramming
- Horizontal scaling: add more dedicated servers to grow, not more IDs on one domain
- 100% private dedicated enterprise-grade IP per server - no shared reputation
- Automated SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX per domain - every server ready in minutes
- Unlimited domains per server - spread IDs safely across domains
- Unlimited sending volume at cold-email-safe per-ID rates (~50/day/ID)
- Not a Google/Microsoft reseller - no TOS shutdown risk
- Dedicated USA/EU infrastructure - you own the server
Cold email scaling model
Horizontal - add more dedicated servers to scale, each with its own IP and safe per-domain limits
Max Unlimited (Nudge at 3-4 - cold email best practice) per domain - cold email best practice
Premium Inboxes
Done-for-you Google Workspace & Microsoft 365 inboxes
- Google Workspace / Microsoft 365 reseller - sending cold email violates their Terms of Service
- Your accounts can be suspended at any time - Google actively bans cold email senders
- $3.50/inbox minimum - 3.5x more than DoYouMail for accounts that can be shut down
- Done-for-you model means you cannot manage your own infrastructure or scale independently
- No self-service API - you depend on their team for every change
- You do not own the infrastructure - Google/Microsoft controls your sending capability
Reseller risk
This provider resells Google/Microsoft accounts. Cold email violates their TOS - accounts can be suspended without warning.
Scaling model
Tenant-limited - you are inside Google/Microsoft's infrastructure
IDs per domain: Capped by Google/Microsoft tenant
