Zapmail vs Infraforge: Cold Email Infrastructure Comparison

For a thorough understanding of what each option offers, a simplified comparison table isn't enough to grasp all intricacies that come with each tool, so let's dive deeper into what makes Zapmail and Infraforge unique.

Zapmail vs Infraforge: Cold Email Infrastructure Overview & Key Features

• Zapmail presents a mailbox-first, Gmail-centric product: it makes buying and provisioning Google Workspace mailboxes the fast path to sending cold email.

The site highlights instant mailbox setup, pre-warmed mailboxes, automated DNS configuration (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) and workspace-level isolation with admin access, positioning Zapmail as a simple way to configure mailboxes and attach them to outreach platforms.

Zapmail bundles additional mailboxes, an Instant Domain Genie for domain registration suggestions, ZapShield for domain protection, placement tests and a long list of integrations with cold email tools so users can export mailboxes and connect campaigns to popular platforms.

• Infraforge takes an infrastructure-led stance: it advertises itself as a cold email infrastructure platform built for agencies and teams that need full control over their domains, mailboxes and IPs.

Rather than selling Google Workspace mailboxes, Infraforge emphasizes:

• Streamlined domain registration and ownership
• Automated setup across DNS records
• Bulk DNS updates
• Domain transferring
• Prewarmed mailboxes
• And even multi-IP provisioning so customers can segment traffic, and reduce deliverability issues as they scale.

Infraforge surfaces an API and a Masterbox for centralized management, multiple workspaces to isolate clients, and reseller and whitelabel programs for agencies.

Operationally this means Zapmail might be faster if your priority is Google Workspace accounts and app-level convenience.

But Infraforge is designed for teams who care about long-term high deliverability, full control over email protocols and deliverability behavior, and programmatic verification at scale.

Setup Speed & Automation

Zapmail markets a quick path to sending by specializing in Google Workspace mailboxes and Microsoft accounts with OAuth-based automation and an emphasis on instant mailbox setup and automated DNS configuration (SPF, DKIM and DMARC). Zapmail also sells already prewarmed mailboxes for an additional cost.

They advertises short average setup times and explicit plan inclusions for Google Workspace mailboxes so teams can buy mailboxes and scale by purchasing additional mailboxes.

Infraforge also offers free automated set up for each domain and mailbox (DMARC/SPF/DKIM and custom tracking), but also allows bulk DNS updates and immediately grants prewarmed domains & mailboxes, rather than requiring teams to pay more.

Ultimately, the practical difference is:

• Zapmail’s flow is optimized for provisioning official Google Workspace accounts with admin access and OAuth conveniences.
• Infraforge’s automated DNS setup and bulk domain operations are designed to remove technical overhead when you need to configure hundreds of domains and mailboxes programmatically for a much more affordable price.

Domain Management & DNS setup

Domain registration and domain setup workflows are central to inbox placement.

• Zapmail emphasizes flexible domain purchase options and an Instant Domain Genie to suggest SEO-smart names.

They also offer automated DNS configuration and advanced domain management (forwarding, domain masking, DNS checks) that help teams verify domains and get Google Workspace accounts verified fast.

• Infraforge also offers most of the aforementioned features, but additionally focuses on domain transferring and bulk DNS updates across entire domain fleets, plus SSL and domain masking as add-ons.

For large-scale cold email programs where domain rotation and verifying records are ongoing tasks, Infraforge’s bulk DNS and transfer tooling is positioned to give you more operational control and faster resolution of deliverability issues.

Mailbox Types

Zapmail sells Google Workspace accounts as a core product and highlights prewarmed Google Workspace mailboxes and OAuth automation that make it easy to configure mailboxes and manage Google Workspace accounts with admin access.

Infraforge prioritizes a dedicated IP infrastructure model: unlimited mailboxes tied to domains, dedicated IPs, multi-IP provisioning and a Masterbox view to see emails across accounts in a workspace.

That model reduces manual mailbox configuration when scaling and is tailored to teams that must manage email accounts across many clients and campaigns.

Choose Infraforge when you need to scale mailboxes across many domains and IPs and want full control over email protocols and deliverability behavior.

Alternative Infrastructure Options: Shared IP & Private IP Email Infrastructures

Salesforge uniquely bundles alternative infrastructure choices into a single stack:

• Primeforge (Google Workspace & MS365 mailboxes) for ESP-matched deliverability
• Mailforge for shared IP infrastructure needs
• Infraforge for private, dedicated-IP infrastructure and more customizable control

That product architecture means a single vendor can support multiple outbound campaigns and use-cases - from teams that want to manage multiple domains and multiple accounts cheaply, to heavy hitters who need dedicated IP provisioning or fine-grained control.

• By contrast, Zapmail does not advertise a connected family of infrastructure alternatives you can switch between or use in tandem on the same platform.

For buyers weighing long-term lead generation and cold email outreach, this matters.

Having integrated alternatives (ESP-matched mailboxes + shared infra + private infra) inside one suite preserves CRM integration, feedback loops, and the ability to run deliverability tests and reputation monitoring under the same platform umbrella.

This saves time, reduces manual DNS setup and plan friction when adding new domains or new users, and helps maintain stable sender reputation as your sending volume scales.

Customer Support

Customer support models differ a lot between providers and that difference matters for adoption, troubleshooting deliverability, and long-term campaign health.

Zapmail provides self-help resources (docs, DNS/check tools, FAQ) and direct contact through its site, with email/support channels and API documentation for technical integrations. Higher paid tiers include priority support and the site centers on ticket/email help and knowledge-base resources rather than public Slack or 24/7 chat claims.

Infraforge advertises consultative services and add-ons - such as expert sessions to diagnose outreach challenges - along with deliverability resources and onboarding that reduces setup time.

Besides that, Infraforge also offers:

• 24/7 email and live chat support
• Extensive documentation
• Youtube tutorials
• An active Slack community
• And even weekly AMA sessions.

In practice that means fewer technical steps for your team, less manual work mapping records across registrars, and fewer hours spent troubleshooting or waiting for a response.

Final Verdict: Dedicated IP vs Google Workspace Mailboxes, Which Should You Choose For Your Cold Email Outreach?

Pick Zapmail if you:

• Need official Google Workspace mailboxes (or consider the Forge alternative: Primeforge)
• Value OAuth automation for those mailboxes
• Prefer fast, though less reliable in the long-term mailboxes.

Pick Infraforge if you:

• Prioritize full control of email infrastructure
• Need dedicated IPs and multi-IP provisioning
• Want automated DNS setup with bulk DNS updates and domain transferring
• Manage many domains or multiple clients
• Aim to resell or whitelabel infrastructure
• Or simply want infrastructure optimized for cold email deliverability at scale for the long-term

For agencies and teams where long-term deliverability, IP control, and programmatic domain management matter most, Infraforge’s infrastructure-first feature set and reseller options make it the perfect fit.
