Instantly Cost Tuning

Overview

Optimize Instantly.ai costs by choosing the right plan, managing email account utilization, monitoring campaign efficiency, and reducing wasted sends. Instantly's pricing is based on sending accounts and features, not per-email — so the key to cost efficiency is maximizing the value per account.

Instantly Pricing Tiers (2026)

Plan	Monthly	Annual (per mo)	Email Accounts	Warmup	API Access	Webhooks
Growth	$30	$24	5	Included	v2 (limited)	No
Hypergrowth	$97.95	$77.60	25	Included	v2 (full)	Yes
Light Speed	$358.30	$286.30	500+	Included	v2 (full)	Yes

Key cost decision: You need Hypergrowth ($97.95/mo) minimum for full API v2 access and webhooks.

Instructions

Step 1: Audit Current Account Utilization

import { instantly } from "./src/instantly";

async function auditAccountUtilization() {
  // Get all accounts
  const accounts = await instantly<Array<{
    email: string;
    status: number;
    daily_limit: number | null;
    warmup_status: string;
  }>>("/accounts?limit=200");

  // Get daily analytics for the last 7 days
  const endDate = new Date().().()[];
   startDate =  (.() -  * ).().()[];
   dailyAnalytics =  instantly<<{
    : ;
    : ;
    : ;
  }>>();

  
  .();

   totalCapacity = ;
   totalSent = ;
   : [] = [];

   ( account  accounts) {
     sent = dailyAnalytics
      .( d. === account.)
      .( sum + d., );
     dailyAvg = sent / ;
     capacity = account. || ;
     utilization = (dailyAvg / capacity) * ;

    totalCapacity += capacity * ;
    totalSent += sent;

     (utilization < ) {
      underutilized.(account.);
    }

    .();
  }

  .();
  .();
   (underutilized. > ) {
    .();
  }
}
