Saleshandy vs Emelia: what the plan tables actually distinguish

Those numbers describe different units. An email account is a sending connection; a team member is a person with access to a plan. A buyer should count both separately. Saleshandy's Starter description calls it single-seat while also listing unlimited email accounts.✓ 1✓ 1 That combination may suit one operator managing multiple sending addresses, but it does not turn Starter into a shared team workspace. Emelia's published limits center on mailboxes and LinkedIn accounts, so a team should confirm its intended member setup during the trial before committing.

Saleshandy: where the upgrade changes the workflow

Saleshandy's pricing page is unusually explicit about the move from Starter to Pro. Starter is listed at $41 monthly or $34 per month on annual billing, while Pro is $99 monthly or $76 per month on annual billing.✓ 1✓ 1 These are different billing commitments, so comparing the annual-equivalent figure with a monthly competitor price would distort the decision.

The more consequential difference may be capability rather than the displayed price. Starter is a single-user plan. Pro allows up to ten team members, adds subsequences, and makes the named CRM integrations available.✓ 1✓ 1✓ 1 A one-person workflow that does not need a native CRM handoff can evaluate Starter. A team that needs multiple people working in the account or a HubSpot connection must evaluate Pro or Scale against its actual process.

The displayed Scale tier is $189 on monthly billing or $149 per month with annual billing; sending-volume choices can change the price.✓ 1✓ 1 The plan page calls out unlimited team members and separate teams on Scale.✓ 1 That matters when several groups need their own workspaces, but the table does not establish that every buyer needs Scale. Start with the number of people who must operate sequences and the number of workspaces that must stay distinct.

Saleshandy also lists unlimited email accounts.✓ 1 That does not remove its separate active-prospect limits: Starter's description says prospect storage is unlimited but only 2,000 are active at a time.✓ 1 For a migration, distinguish stored records, active prospects, connected mailboxes and user access. Treating any one of those counts as a proxy for all the others risks buying the wrong tier.

Emelia: where mailbox and LinkedIn allowances matter

Emelia's current rendered pricing page lists Start at $37 monthly or $31 per month on annual billing, Grow at $97 or $81, and Scale at $297 or $248.✓ 2✓ 2✓ 2 These are the page's displayed dollar prices at verification time; confirm the checkout currency and billing term for your account before making a budget decision. The useful first comparison is the allowance behind each price.

Start connects up to three mailboxes, Grow up to fifty, and Scale lists unlimited mailboxes.✓ 2✓ 2✓ 2 Emelia also assigns LinkedIn account allowances across the tiers, with one on Start, up to three on Grow and up to ten on Scale.✓ 2 A team using only email may care mainly about mailbox headroom; a team using both channels needs to map each operator's intended LinkedIn connection as well. The plan's account allowance is more useful than treating the words "multichannel" as a complete buying answer.

The feature table lists multichannel sequences, A/B testing and conditions.✓ 2 It also lists one CRM integration on Start and Grow, and multi-CRM integrations on Scale.✓ 2 This makes the CRM question specific: which system needs data, which events must pass across, and how many separate CRMs need a connection? Do not assume that the presence of a CRM integration settles those implementation details.

Emelia includes credits in its tiers, with 500 on Start, 1,000 on Grow and 5,000 on Scale.✓ 2 Its pricing page separately says credits are optional for simply sending emails or doing LinkedIn actions.✓ 2 Put sourcing and enrichment credits in their own budget line. A buyer who already has lead data may evaluate the sending workflow differently from one who needs the prospecting tools as part of the same purchase.

CRM handoff: compare the steps, not the badge

Saleshandy's HubSpot integration guide gives a concrete picture of its handoff. After connecting, users can map Saleshandy fields to HubSpot fields.✓ 3 The guide also describes an email-sent trigger that can create or update a HubSpot contact, deal or company, or create a task or note.✓ 3 That is enough to design a focused trial: choose one representative prospect, send a test sequence step, then inspect which HubSpot record and activity appear. The guide documents possible actions, not a guarantee that every configuration will match a team's data model automatically.

For Emelia, the pricing table says Start and Grow each have one CRM integration, while Scale has multi-CRM integrations.✓ 2 The sensible purchase check is therefore narrower than "does it integrate?". Ask which CRM is required, whether one connection is enough, and whether the actual field and activity mapping meets the handoff. Do not infer exact sync direction from a plan-table label.

HubSpot can also be a baseline when a team already owns it. Its sequence guide says an assigned Sales or Service seat is required, and sequence sending needs a connected individual work email.✓ 4✓ 4 HubSpot can unenroll contacts on a reply or booked meeting, and its sequence tasks go to the user who enrolled the contact.✓ 4✓ 4 If those ownership and stop rules already cover the job, test that setup before adding another sequence tool. If the new tool is still needed, the baseline makes missing workflow requirements easier to spot.

How to choose without paying for the wrong unit

Write down four counts before taking a trial: people operating sequences, connected mailboxes, LinkedIn accounts, and CRM systems requiring a handoff. Saleshandy documents a single-user Starter tier, a Pro tier with up to ten members, and unlimited members on Scale.✓ 1✓ 1 Emelia's table documents mailbox and LinkedIn allowances at each tier.✓ 2✓ 2✓ 2✓ 2 These measures answer different questions, so put each into its own row in your buying sheet.

Then test one sequence from enrollment through the CRM. On Saleshandy Pro, check the mapped fields and the chosen HubSpot actions.✓ 1✓ 3✓ 3 On Emelia, test the actual CRM connection against the one-CRM entitlement on Start or Grow, or the multi-CRM entitlement on Scale.✓ 2 For an existing HubSpot setup, test its individual sender, task ownership and unenrollment behavior as the reference.✓ 4✓ 4✓ 4 The best fit is the one whose documented limits and tested handoff match the team's real operating model.
