Pebbles Ai vs Mailshake:
which fits your team?

What is each product built for

Mailshake is built for sending cold email, while Pebbles Ai is built for deciding who to write to and what to say. Mailshake runs sequences that send and follow up on a schedule, with tools to protect your sending reputation, a data finder for prospect emails and, on its Sales Engagement plan, a power dialler.

Pebbles Ai, a go-to-market operating system, covers the steps before the first send. Its assistants research each target company, find the people to contact and write every email and LinkedIn touch from your company knowledge. The emails go into your own Gmail or Outlook as drafts, so you decide when each one is sent.

Where is Mailshake stronger

Mailshake is stronger at everything that happens after the copy is written. Sequences send and follow up on their own, with A/B testing, scheduling and throttling, and its deliverability tools cover warm-up, verification and mailbox rotation. Pebbles Ai does none of that.

It also covers calling with a power dialler on its higher plan and integrates with Salesforce, Pipedrive and HubSpot. A team whose day is measured in emails sent and calls made will find more of its workflow inside Mailshake.

• Automated sequences with A/B testing.
• Warm-up, verification and mailbox rotation.
• A power dialler on the Sales Engagement plan.
• Native CRM integrations with Salesforce, Pipedrive and HubSpot.

Where does Pebbles Ai work differently

Pebbles Ai puts its effort into the research and the words rather than the sending. Before writing, the assistants work from Company Intel, which holds your business knowledge and brand voice, and a personality chosen for each piece, so every touch starts from your offer and your voice.

Campaigns cover email and LinkedIn, single or multi-touch, up to seven touches. Emails are saved as drafts in your connected Gmail or Outlook, and sending a template to a CRM segment always asks for approval, in every mode. Replies then arrive in Smartbox, where Write with AI drafts the answer from the thread.

Which team should pick which

Pick Mailshake when sending volume and deliverability are the hard part; pick Pebbles Ai when knowing the account and writing a relevant message is the hard part. Agencies running many client campaigns tend to need the first, founders writing their own outreach the second.

As an illustration, a small recruitment firm wants to reach forty hiring managers at named logistics companies. Pebbles Ai finds the people, researches each company and drafts a three-touch email per person in the firm's voice. If the firm later sends to thousands of contacts a month, it would load that copy into a sending tool such as Mailshake.

• Mailshake: agencies and small teams sending cold email at volume.
• Pebbles Ai: teams that write fewer, researched messages and want leads and a CRM in the same place.

What should you check before switching

Check whether you depend on automated sending, because Pebbles Ai has no automated sequences, warm-up or rotation. Teams that send cold email at volume usually keep Mailshake for sending and use Pebbles Ai for research, leads and drafting.

Also check your mailbox and CRM setup. Pebbles Ai needs a connected Gmail or Outlook mailbox to save drafts, and it has no native sync with HubSpot or Salesforce, so decide where contacts and deals will live before you move anything.
