Vendor vs Google Workspace: Whats Better for Cold Emailing?

If you are serious about cold email, you already know the inbox game is everything

Moiz Khurram

  • High deliverability

  • No spam folder

  • Full control over domain reputation

But heres a debate thats been circling in cold email circles for a while now:

Should you buy Google Workspace accounts directly from Google at $7 to $8 per inbox?
Or should you go through a vendor?

Lets break it down

The Cost Problem Nobody Talks About

Let’s say you are running 25 inboxes (a common setup for scaling cold outreach)

If you are buying them straight from Google?

  • That’s $200/month+

  • Just for inbox access

  • With no guarantees on warm up, delegation, or cold email friendliness

And guess what?

Most cold emailers do not use Google directly
They use Google Workspace vendors who provide:

  • Premium, delegated inboxes

  • Already warmed up setups

  • Way more affordable pricing

  • No need to manage billing or create every single inbox manually

So… Whats the Best Vendor?

We have tried them all
  • Sketchy ones

  • Pricey ones

  • Ones that worked great for a week, then got nuked by Googles AI

But theres only one vendor we now recommend to clients and use internally at Leadamax:

Heres why they win:

1. Google Workspace delegated access
