Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about OutreachPilot and cold email infrastructure

What is OutreachProPilot?+
A directory and set of tools for cold email infrastructure: compare providers, look up your DNS records, estimate costs, and learn the basics. It's run by Richard Ryan LLC in Des Moines, Iowa.
Does it cost anything?+
The tools and guides are open to use, with daily limits on the AI tools. Paid monitoring is not available yet. You can leave an optional tip; it doesn't unlock anything.
How does the DNS audit work?+
It does real public DNS lookups for your SPF, DKIM (common selectors), DMARC and MX records and explains what it finds. It does not check blacklists or sender reputation.
Can I compare cold email providers?+
Yes. The comparison pages show provider descriptions, listed prices, daily send limits and setup difficulty. We don't publish ratings or deliverability scores we haven't measured. Always confirm prices with the provider.
What is cold email infrastructure?+
Cold email infrastructure is the combination of tools and DNS configurations used to send cold outreach email at scale while maintaining deliverability. It includes domain registrars, sending platforms, inbox rotation, warmup tools, verification services, and DNS records like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
Is there a certification?+
No. There's a short self-assessment based on your own answers. Nobody verifies it, so it isn't a certification.
How do I build a cold email stack?+
Use the Stack Builder to pick a domain registrar, sending platform, warmup service and verification service. It adds up the listed monthly prices so you can compare options.
