    Mailshake is great for cold prospecting and drip email campaigns. I do not think Mailshake is well-suited for hyper-personalized one-to-one emailing.

    Skylead
    There are many LinkedIn automation products available, from Chrome extensions to desktop applications, to cloud-based apps like Skylead, and I've used many of them. Skylead stands apart with a simple, intuitive interface that is easy for my clients to use, is very economical compared to others, and is focused on continual improvement and customer service.

    Cons
    Mailshake
    • Mailshake works only with Gmail/G Suite accounts.
    • The only option for customizing emails is in the CSV file. It would be great if there were a feature in the tool for this.
    • Missing starts about the total number of opens of an email (it is only tracked once).

    Skylead
    • It would be nice to be able to add steps to a sequence in an existing campaign
    • The user hierarchy is a little confusing, in terms of placing my end-user clients under my master account—a little unintuitive
    • Similar to above, it would be nice to have an additional level of user access, for scenarios in which I have a client with multiple salespeople on the platform, each with their own login (as it is now, with access only to their own account), but also have a companywide admin account for a sales manager who has access to all of their accounts with one login (I think they are working on this feature).

    Usability
    Mailshake
    I found it pretty good - we were able to put email templates and campaigns together almost immediately. The reason I gave it an 8 is because if you want to edit those templates, the saving and making sure they were part of the campaigns was a little tricky and not intuitive.

    Alternatives Considered
    Mailshake
    For more advanced email campaigns, I use ActiveCampaign and the email sending provider because it gives more control and options related to the drip rules. Besides that, for simple campaigns that need to be followed up in a great, quick, and simple way, Mailshake is perfect from my point of view.
