Do I need dedicated IPs for cold email?

Not always. Teams sending under 50,000 emails per month can succeed with shared IPs and good warmup practices through SendKit. Above that volume, dedicated IPs provide important reputation protection.

Can I start with Maildoso and switch to dedicated IPs later?

Maildoso does not offer a dedicated IP product. To move to dedicated IPs, you would need to switch to Infraforge or InboxKit. InboxKit offers dedicated IPs at $2.50/mailbox with Google Workspace, which is cheaper than Infraforge.

Do both work with SendKit?

Yes. Both Maildoso and Infraforge integrate with SendKit for AI warmup, sequences, and deliverability monitoring.

Shared vs Dedicated IPs

The fundamental choice here is shared versus dedicated IP infrastructure. Maildoso runs on shared IPs, meaning your mailboxes send from IP addresses used by other Maildoso customers. Infraforge provides dedicated IPs that are exclusively yours.

Shared IPs are fine for many cold email teams, especially when paired with good warmup and sending practices through SendKit. The risk is that another sender on your IP pool can damage the shared reputation. Dedicated IPs eliminate that risk entirely but cost significantly more.

For teams sending under 50,000 emails per month, shared IPs with proper warmup are usually sufficient. Above that volume, dedicated IPs become more important for protecting deliverability.

Key takeaways

Maildoso: shared IPs, fine for most teams under 50K emails/mo
Infraforge: dedicated IPs, important for high-volume senders
Dedicated IPs eliminate risk from other senders on your IP pool
Both benefit from SendKit AI warmup and monitoring

Cost Comparison

The cost gap is substantial. At 100 mailboxes: Maildoso costs $190 to $250/mo. Infraforge costs approximately $350 to $400 for mailboxes plus $99 for the dedicated IP, totaling $449 to $499/mo.

That is roughly double. For teams that need dedicated IPs but want better value, InboxKit offers Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailboxes at $2.50/mailbox with US-based IPs and built-in deliverability tools. At 100 mailboxes, that is $250/mo with no separate IP charges.

Key takeaways

100 mailboxes: Maildoso ~$220/mo vs Infraforge ~$450/mo
Infraforge costs roughly double due to dedicated IP add-on
InboxKit offers a middle ground: $250/mo with dedicated IPs and GWS

Which One Should You Choose

Choose Maildoso if you want the cheapest infrastructure and are comfortable with shared IPs. Pair with SendKit for warmup and monitoring to mitigate shared IP risk. Choose Infraforge if you need dedicated IP isolation for high-volume campaigns or sensitive domains.

The extra cost buys real sender reputation protection. Consider InboxKit as a third option: dedicated IPs with Google Workspace at $2.50/mailbox, cheaper than Infraforge and more feature-rich than Maildoso.

Key takeaways

Maildoso: cheapest option, shared IPs, pair with SendKit for warmup
Infraforge: dedicated IPs for high-volume sender isolation
InboxKit: best value for dedicated IPs with deliverability tools
