Cold email infrastructure cost breakdown: ~$200/month to get started

The all-in infrastructure cost to launch a cold email system capable of sending roughly 10,000 emails is about $200 a month. Around $100 goes to inbox hosting — providers like Hypertide or Inbox Kit offer similar pricing and run frequent sales, so you buy the domains and pay a subscription to have the inboxes hosted. The other ~$97 goes to a sending platform like Instantly, which has an entry-level tier at that price. That's the full out-the-door cost to get the sending software and inboxes running.
