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
