Quick Answer
Leads Monky is the stronger choice for buyers who want a verified Google Workspace reseller relationship, full Admin Console ownership, and lower published pricing at every volume checked. Leads Monky’s per mailbox rate comes in below Cheap Inboxes’ published tiers across the board, from small orders up through 1,000+ mailboxes. Cheap Inboxes, on the other hand, is built around speed and automation for cold outreach teams: same day OAuth setup, one domain per workspace, a developer API, and 24/7 WhatsApp support with a sub-5-minute response time..
This comparison is published by GoogleWorkspace Resellers, an independent directory and information resource covering Google Workspace resellers and cold email infrastructure providers. We checked Google’s Cloud Partner Directory for both companies named here. Leads Monky (Leads Monkey Ltd) has a confirmed listing, viewable at the link below. Cheap Inboxes is not listed in Google’s Cloud Partner Directory, and it does not publish any claim of being an authorized Google partner or reseller anywhere on its own site either. Cheap Inboxes’ testimonials shown on this page are self-published on its own website rather than pulled from an independent review platform like Trustpilot or G2, and are flagged as such throughout. Every pricing figure below comes from each company’s own published pricing information.

Google Partner / Reseller Status

Pricing Comparison at a Glance
Cheap Inboxes bills on a flat per mailbox rate that steps down in volume tiers, with domains sold as a separate add-on. Leads Monky bills per mailbox with its own volume discounts and no separate domain charge in its published pricing.
| Volume | Leads Monky (per mailbox/mo) | Cheap Inboxes tier | Cheap Inboxes rate (per mailbox/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–99 | $3.00 (≤20/domain) | 1–99 | $3.50 |
| 100–249 | $3.00 (≤20/domain) | 100–249 | $3.25 |
| 250–299 | $3.00 (≤20/domain) | 250–999 | $3.00 |
| 300–999 | $2.60 (≤20/domain) | 250–999 | $3.00 |
| 1,000+ | $2.60 (≤20/domain) | 1,000+ | $2.80 |
A $3.85/user/mo surcharge applies to a Leads Monky order only when the average mailboxes-per-domain across the whole order exceeds 20. Cheap Inboxes sells domains separately starting from about $2.50/yr for a .pro domain, $5.99/yr for .co, and $9.99/yr for .com, on top of its mailbox pricing, so a full cost comparison needs to account for that add-on if domains are purchased through Cheap Inboxes rather than brought in by the customer.
Full Cost Comparison by Volume (Annual, Mailboxes Only)
| Mailboxes | Leads Monky / year | Cheap Inboxes / year (published tiers) | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $360 | $420 | Leads Monky saves $60 |
| 30 | $1,080 | $1,260 | Leads Monky saves $180 |
| 50 | $1,800 | $2,100 | Leads Monky saves $300 |
| 100 | $3,600 | $3,900 | Leads Monky saves $300 |
| 300 | $9,360 | $10,800 | Leads Monky saves $1,440 |
| 500 | $15,600 | $18,000 | Leads Monky saves $2,400 |
| 1,000 | $31,200 | $33,600 | Leads Monky saves $2,400 |
Unlike some competitors in this series, there’s no volume band where Cheap Inboxes’ published rate dips below Leads Monky’s. Leads Monky’s rate stays at or below Cheap Inboxes’ tier at every point on this table, and the gap widens in Leads Monky’s favor once order size crosses 300 mailboxes and Leads Monky’s volume rate drops to $2.60. These figures cover mailboxes only; add Cheap Inboxes’ separate domain fees on top if domains are purchased through its platform rather than supplied by the customer.
Reasons Leads Monky Is the Stronger Choice
- Lower cost at every volume published, from a 10 mailbox order up through 1,000+.
- Verified Google Partner Directory listing, giving a documented, checkable authorization status that Cheap Inboxes does not publish.
- Serves both business email and cold email customers under one provider, rather than being built exclusively around outreach infrastructure.
- Full Admin Console ownership, with customer-controlled passwords, aliases, and settings, stated explicitly as part of its offering.
- No minimum order and no plan tiers to manage around. A Leads Monky customer buys exactly the mailboxes needed at the published per mailbox rate.
- No contract and no long-term commitment, with calendar month billing throughout.
- Migration support for Zoho, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace environments, which isn’t mentioned on Cheap Inboxes’ site.
- Live support, WhatsApp support, and phone support, matching Cheap Inboxes on WhatsApp availability while also offering live and phone channels.
- Global support across 50+ countries, rather than a single outreach-infrastructure-focused storefront.
- No separate domain fees baked into the comparison, versus Cheap Inboxes’ $2.50 to $9.99/yr domain add-ons if domains are purchased through its platform.
Where Cheap Inboxes Falls Short
- Not listed in Google’s Cloud Partner Directory, and no Google partner or reseller claim published on its own site either.
- Higher published per mailbox rate at every volume checked compared to Leads Monky’s rate at the same volume.
- Domains are billed separately. Its bundle pricing ($2.50 to $9.99/yr depending on TLD) adds to the total cost on top of the per mailbox rate.
- Cold-outreach-first product design. There’s no standard Google Workspace business email plan for a company that just wants normal company inboxes rather than campaign infrastructure.
- No migration support published for teams moving from an existing business email provider.
- Independent review profile not established on a third-party platform. The testimonials shown on its own site are self-published and not the same as a verified Trustpilot or G2 rating.
- Comparison claims on its own site compare against generic “Other Resellers” rather than against a named, verified reseller, which makes it hard to judge how its setup time and deliverability claims hold up against an authorized reseller like Leads Monky specifically.

Setup and Admin Ownership
Leads Monky gives customers full ownership of the Google Admin Console from day one, with the option of a separate Admin Console per domain or one centralized Admin Console across all domains, depending on what the customer needs. DNS setup (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) is handled as a humanized, custom configuration for each account, which typically takes 4 to 5 working hours.
Cheap Inboxes’ process is built to be fast and automated: the customer buys or connects a domain, Cheap Inboxes provisions mailboxes described as “Official Business Starter with Admin Access,” configures DNS, and connects OAuth to a chosen sequencer, advertised as same day with automatic reconnection within minutes if a connection drops. The company states customers get admin access on its comparison table, though the scope of that access (full administrative control versus a more limited admin role) isn’t spelled out in detail on the page we reviewed, which is worth confirming directly with Cheap Inboxes before ordering if full, unrestricted account control matters for your setup.
Who Should Choose Each Provider
Choose Cheap Inboxes if: you run cold outreach campaigns exclusively, want same-day automated setup with minimal manual involvement, need a developer API to provision domains and mailboxes programmatically, or want native integration with a specific outreach sequencer, and aren’t concerned that it isn’t listed as a Google partner or reseller.
Choose Leads Monky if: you need standard business email, cold email infrastructure, or both under one account; you want full Admin Console ownership and a verified Google partner relationship; you want the lower published per mailbox rate at your order size without a separate domain fee; or you need migration support moving from an existing provider. If neither provider fits, it’s worth browsing other Google Workspace alternatives before deciding.
Final Verdict
Cheap Inboxes is built for speed: same-day automated setup, one domain per workspace, a developer API, and fast WhatsApp support for cold outreach teams that want to move quickly. But on verified Google partner status, on admin ownership clarity, and on published price at every volume checked, Leads Monky comes out ahead, especially for buyers who also need standard business email rather than outreach-only infrastructure, or who want to avoid a separate domain line item on top of their mailbox bill.

Conclusion

Cheap Inboxes is a fast, fully automated platform with a developer API and strong self-reported support speed, built around outreach infrastructure specifically, though it is not listed in Google’s Cloud Partner Directory. Leads Monky is a verified Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 reseller that covers both standard business email and cold email infrastructure, at a lower published cost than Cheap Inboxes across every volume checked, with full admin ownership and migration support built in and no separate domain fee. For a buyer weighing the two primarily on verifiable trust, admin clarity, and price, Leads Monky is the stronger pick; Cheap Inboxes remains a reasonable option for a cold outreach team that wants same-day automated setup and values speed above verified reseller status.
