Cold outreach breaks when infrastructure breaks. A campaign can have strong targeting, clean copy, and good sequencing, but if the mailboxes are weak, the result is still spam placement, account churn, and stalled pipeline. The problem becomes more expensive at scale because every burned mailbox can mean lost warmup time, new DNS work, reconnecting sequencers, and replacing domains.

This comparison looks at Sending.ac and Maildoso as infrastructure providers for teams that need outbound-ready mailboxes. The focus is practical: pricing, mailbox types, IP approach, recovery options, support, refund visibility, public reviews, and what each provider is best suited for.
Key Takeaways

  • Sending.ac focuses on Azure-based infrastructure.
  • Maildoso.ai offers SMTP/GW mailboxes, full API access, self-healing and IP rotation.
  • Sending.ac has a higher minimum order requirement. Its pricing starts at $0.44/month per mailbox with a minimum order of 450 mailboxes ($199). Maildoso has a minimum limit of 10 mailboxes, which costs $28.

Sending.ac Review

Rating & Reviews
The company has no reviews on G2 or Trustpilot.

  • "A lot of these were burned last month, mass microsoft tenant shut downs. Since then, a little bit sketchy."
  • "you're correct, most microsoft infra providers got burned a few weeks ago. I did some digging on that and found the CEO of sending.ac talking about that very shutdown."

Maildoso Review

Maildoso dashboard with details and explanation
Maildoso dashboard (mobile)
Maildoso is a cold outreach infrastructure provider – we offer domains, SMTP mailboxes, and Google Workspace accounts. The company was founded in August 2023 in Granite Bay, California, by Nikita Bykadarov (Nikita Maildoso).

While other providers offer shared or dedicated IPs, we have developed IP rotation. This means your emails are sent from hundreds of different IPs (making it harder for spam filters to detect a sending pattern), and whenever any IP gets blacklisted, we automatically swap it out for a clean one.

We have also implemented self-healing mailbox technology, which both restores burned-out mailboxes and protects your active email accounts.

The result?
As of May 2026, the spam rate across our entire network of mailboxes is around 5%.

Rating & Reviews

G2: 4.7/5 (181 reviews)

"Tried it mainly because of the good price, but ended up sticking with it since deliverability’s been pretty stable so far" – Thinking about trying "Maildoso". Has anyone here used it? Is it actually better than other tools?

"I tested a small batch first and results were comparable to our Google setup. Ended up moving more campaigns there because of the lower cost. That's a good strategy, buy small package and compare with your current setup" – I want to try Maildoso. What do you guys think about it?

Maildoso Pros

🟢 Dynamic IP Rotation: We rotate your IP addresses in real-time – if an IP gets flagged or blacklisted, we instantly swap it for a clean one before your campaign takes a hit, ensuring your emails consistently land in the primary inbox rather than getting stuck in spam.
🟢 Self-Healing Rotation: An automated resting period for mailboxes every two weeks that clears provider flags and recovers reputation on autopilot.
🟢 Global Customer Domain Tracking: Proprietary technology that allows you to safely include links without compromising your sender reputation.
🟢 Automated Inbox Placement Tests: Free email deliverability infrastructure testing every three days for all mailboxes, giving you real-time visibility into your health.

Maildoso Cons

🔴 Conservative Limits: We suggest sticking to 15 emails a day per box to keep your domains healthy for the long run.
🔴 Google/SMTP Focus: We do not support Microsoft 365/Outlook/Azure environments at this time.
🔴 Lack of built-in warmup. We do not have an integrated warm-up yet, but we are currently working on it.
We analyzed 10,000 outbound campaigns to create the ultimate guide on the most common mistakes – it solves up to 80% of all deliverability problems (according to our clients).

The True Cost of Bad Deliverability

Do not choose a provider just because they offer the cheapest inboxes. Cheap infrastructure always costs more in the long run. When your deliverability drops, you pay for it in three ways:

  1. You burn expensive leads. Good B2B data costs money. If your emails land in the spam folder, you waste those leads. You pay for contacts who never even see your pitch.
  2. You destroy your domains. Once spam filters flag a domain, it is incredibly hard to fix. You usually have to throw the domain away, buy a new one, and start the warm-up process all over again.
  3. You lose revenue. Every email that goes to spam is a missed meeting. In B2B sales, missing one connection can cost you thousands of dollars in closed revenue.
You have to treat cold email infrastructure as an investment. Maildoso.ai gives you the technical tools to protect your domains and keep your emails in the primary inbox. It is the only way to scale outbound sales profitably.

Final Thoughts

We generally advise against using Sending.ac.

The issue isn’t necessarily with this specific product, but rather with Azure tenants as a whole. Despite their low cost, these accounts simply cannot send a sufficient volume of emails (only 2–4 per day). Furthermore, we frequently hear reports of Azure tenants being blacklisted by email service providers, often leading to a total infrastructure ban that forces the provider to shut down entirely.

If you don't currently have any mailboxes, it's better to start with more reliable providers like Maildoso, Zapmail, or Scaledmail. On the other hand, if you already have an established setup and are simply looking to experiment, there are other Azure tenant providers on the market offering much more flexible and affordable entry-level plans.

FAQ

  • Q:
    Is Sending.ac cheaper than Maildoso?
    A:
    Sending.ac might seem cheaper since you only pay $0.44 per mailbox, but Azure limits you to just 2-4 emails per day.

    With Maildoso, you can confidently send up to 20 emails per day from a single mailbox starting at just $0.49. While our price is quite similar, you can send 10 times more volume per mailbox. Also, you can buy just 10 mailboxes for $28 – no need to buy 450 of them.
  • Q:
    Does Sending.ac offer API access?
    A:
    No, there don't have API. We do.
  • Q:
    Which is better for high-volume outbound?
    A:
    Ultimately, Maildoso is the superior choice. Our mailboxes are more reliable thanks to our unique IP Rotation and Self-healing technology, our pricing is more competitive, and our support is easily accessible via live chat on our website, Reddit, email, and Slack.
Most cold emails fail simply because they land in spam. People never even see your offer. Our SMTP and Google Workspace mailboxes are built specifically for outbound; this means your emails will finally be seen, and you’ll start getting more positive replies.
