About Stacked Creator
Last updated
Stacked Creator is an independent publication about the cold outreach software stack (sending tools, lead data, CRMs, deliverability and cold-email law) for 1–20 person B2B teams. It is not affiliated with the Stacked creator app.
Why this site exists
Getting your first B2B customers usually means outbound: finding the right people, reaching their inbox, following up, and keeping track of every conversation. The tools for each step are powerful, but their pricing pages are confusing, their limits are buried in help docs, and most “reviews” online are thin lists written to rank rather than to help.
We write the guides you’d want before committing budget to an outbound stack: what each layer of the stack does, what the tools actually cost once credits and seats are counted, what the mailbox providers now require from senders, and which option fits which situation.
What we cover
- Deliverability — domains, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, warmup, sending limits and the sender requirements of Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
- Cold email tools — sequencing platforms compared on pricing model, inbox rotation, multichannel steps and limits.
- Lead data and enrichment — how B2B databases price credits and how to avoid paying twice for the same contact.
- CRMs for small teams — pipelines, calling and follow-up without enterprise overhead.
- Cold-email law — what the US, UK, EU and Canadian rules ask of a cold email, read from the official texts and regulators. Plain-English guides, not legal advice.
How we research
Every guide is built from primary sources: vendors’ pricing pages and documentation, and official guidance from mailbox providers and regulators. Volatile details such as prices and plan limits are dated, and we update guides when they change. We don’t publish invented benchmarks or pretend to have run tests we haven’t. Read the full editorial policy.
How we make money
Some links on Stacked Creator are affiliate links: when you sign up for a product through one, the company pays us a commission, at no extra cost to you. Every guide says at the top whether it has such links, and each one is marked “Paid link”. Commissions never decide what we recommend, and we don’t sell positive reviews or guaranteed coverage. The programs that pay us are listed in our affiliate disclosure.
Who’s behind it
Kent F. edits Stacked Creator. He decides what the site covers, sets the rules in our editorial policy and checks every new or updated guide before it goes live; his background and how the guides are made are on his page.
We’re based in Japan and write for an English-speaking audience in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and beyond. No software company we write about owns or funds Stacked Creator; the ones that pay us affiliate commissions are listed in our disclosure.
