SmartLead’s base plan is $39/mo for raw email volume. Add white-labeling, email verification, and SmartSenders and it climbs to $89–$189/mo. But the real question is: do you need a B2B volume tool, or the core outreach engine that understands YouTube creators? Influencer marketing is a $40.51B industry in 2026. As a new agency founder, you provide a professional service - connecting brands with creators and managing partnerships. You need tools built for that workflow.
SmartLead is for B2B lead gen agencies that need high-volume cold email with white-labeling and API access to serve their sales clients.
Kor Lite is for brand-new agency founders who are starting from zero and need to recruit YouTube creators to build their first roster. You are not blasting 6,000 B2B prospects - you are reaching 50-250 specific creators with personalized, channel-aware outreach that shows you understand their content. Your real alternative today is sending manual emails to creators one by one. Kor Lite makes that 10x faster, with built-in email warmup so your emails actually reach creator inboxes.
Start with Kor Lite on day one. When you have 2-3+ deals and a growing roster at month 2-3, upgrade to Kor CRM to organize and scale.
