Lavender is usually the better pick for improving one-to-one cold emails, while Regie.ai is stronger for scaling full outbound sequences across a team. Reply rates still suffer when messages sound generic, and cold email benchmarks often sit in single digits; Belkins reports an average cold email response rate of 8.5% [source: Belkins].
