Quick Answer

- Best for verified Google partner status: Leads Monky. Its directory profile is public. Coldinfra’s status could not be confirmed.
- Best for account control and flexibility: Leads Monky. Full Admin Console ownership, your DNS stays where it is, and you can leave at no fee.
- Best for support and service breadth: Leads Monky. Three support channels, migration, Microsoft 365, Education, and Nonprofit options.
- Best for lowest per-mailbox rate at 30+ mailboxes: Coldinfra, by a modest margin, and only after its one-time setup fee is counted.
- Best for bundled warm-up and a 30-day refund: Coldinfra.
Google partner verification (checked September 2026): Leads Monky (Leads Monkey Ltd) is an authorized Google Workspace reseller with an official Google Cloud Partner Directory profile. Coldinfra was not found in Google’s Cloud Partner Directory when checked, and its public pages do not claim Google partner status or say whether its Workspace licenses come directly from Google or through another reseller. That does not prove anything about where its licenses come from, but you should ask Coldinfra directly before you order.
What Each Company Actually Is
Leads Monky is an authorized Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 reseller serving businesses, agencies, and cold-email users globally, with 1,000+ companies served and 100,000+ mailboxes under management (company figures). It provides real licenses, full Admin Console ownership, humanized custom DNS setup, migration support, and live, WhatsApp, and phone support across 50+ countries.
Coldinfra is a cold email infrastructure provider selling Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailboxes with DNS setup and warm-up included. It reports 14K+ live mailboxes, 6K+ domains, and a 98.7% inbox rate (self-reported). Customers add a domain in its dashboard, point the domain’s nameservers to Coldinfra, and receive mailbox credentials to paste into a sequencer such as Instantly or Smartlead.
Google Partner and Reseller Status
| Leads Monky | Coldinfra | |
|---|---|---|
| Google Cloud Partner Directory | Profile found, view listing | Not found when checked (September 2026) |
| Claims Google partner status on its own site | Yes | No |
| Licence sourcing stated publicly | Authorized reseller | Not stated |
| What to do | Click the listing to confirm | Ask Coldinfra where its licenses come from |
Partner status can change, so check Google’s directory again before you buy from any reseller. A provider missing from the directory may still buy through an authorized reseller. The difference is who is accountable to Google if a licence problem comes up.
Pricing Comparison
Leads Monky (Business Starter, 20 or fewer mailboxes per domain, no setup fee):
| Mailbox Volume | Price |
|---|---|
| 1 to 10 mailboxes | $3.70/user/month |
| 11 to 299 mailboxes | $3.00/user/month |
| 300+ mailboxes | $2.60/user/month |
| Any domain with more than 20 mailboxes | $3.85/user/month for that domain |
ColdInfra (Google Workspace, monthly billing, one-time setup fee):
| Plan | Mailboxes | Price | One-Time Setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | From 10 | $3.00/mailbox/month | $24.99 |
| Growth | From 30 | $2.80/mailbox/month | $40 |
| Scale | From 100 | $2.50/mailbox/month | $54.99 |
Official Google rates are on our Google Workspace pricing page, and the plan compared here is covered on the Business Starter page.
Cost by Volume, Including Setup Fees
| Mailboxes | Leads Monky Monthly | Leads Monky Year 1 | Coldinfra Monthly | Coldinfra Year 1 (with setup) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | $18.50 | $222 | Not available (10 minimum) | Not available |
| 10 | $37 | $444 | $30 | $384.99 |
| 20 | $60 | $720 | $60 | $744.99 |
| 30 | $90 | $1,080 | $84 | $1,048 |
| 100 | $300 | $3,600 | $250 | $3,054.99 |
| 300 | $780 | $9,360 | $750 | $9,054.99 |
The honest read: between 11 and 29 mailboxes the monthly price is level and Leads Monky is cheaper in year one because it charges no setup fee. At 10 mailboxes Coldinfra is cheaper because Leads Monky’s 1 to 10 tier is $3.70, and below 10 ColdInfra isn’t available. From 30 mailboxes up, ColdInfra’s rate is lower, by about $32 in year one at 30 mailboxes and about $545 at 100. That gap buys a provider whose partner status is unconfirmed, whose DNS runs on its nameservers, and whose support channels are narrower. For many buyers the difference is worth paying to avoid those trade-offs.

Setup, DNS, and Control
Coldinfra has you point a domain’s nameservers to it, after which it writes and maintains the DNS records. It states that domains stay registered in your name, that it requests only scoped DNS and mailbox permissions, and that configured records stay in place if you revoke access. That is convenient, and it also means the domain’s DNS is managed on Coldinfra’s side.
Leads Monky configures SPF, DKIM, and DMARC by hand inside the DNS platform you already use, so your DNS stays where it is. New mailbox setup typically takes 3 to 4 business hours, and DNS configuration can take longer when many domains are involved. For background, see our guides to Google Workspace multiple domains and verifying your domain.
Deliverability and Security
Neither provider can guarantee inbox placement. Coldinfra publishes a 98.7% inbox rate, which is self-reported. Leads Monky does not publish an equivalent figure and does not bundle pre-warming. Placement depends on domain reputation, authentication, and sending behavior more than on the provider. Our guides on Google Workspace emails going to spam and Google Workspace email not working cover what to check, and the Google Workspace security review covers account protection.
Migration and Business Email
If you are moving an existing email setup, Leads Monky supports it. Our guides on migrating Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace and the Zoho vs Google Workspace comparison cover those moves. Coldinfra is built for new cold-email infrastructure and does not market migration.
12 Reasons Leads Monky Is the Stronger Choice
- A verifiable Google partner profile. Anyone can click through to Leads Monky’s directory listing, and the business is a UK-registered company, Leads Monkey Ltd (Company No. 17211089).
- Real Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 licenses. One provider covers both, so you don’t need a second vendor if you need Microsoft mailboxes too.
- Full Admin Console ownership. You control passwords, aliases, and settings. You can choose a separate Admin Console for each domain or one centralized console. That choice is made before provisioning and cannot be changed afterward.
- DNS stays in your hands. A person configures SPF, DKIM, and DMARC inside the DNS platform you already use, with delegate access for Namecheap, GoDaddy, or Cloudflare. You don’t hand over your domain’s nameservers.
- No setup fee, no minimum order, no reactivation fee. You can start with a single mailbox. Monthly billing carries no long-term contract for 5 users.
- Three support channels. Live support, WhatsApp support, and phone call support. During working hours (9 AM to midnight Pakistan time, closed Sundays), WhatsApp replies typically arrive within 30 minutes and email within 30 to 60 minutes.
- Migration support. Zoho Mail to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace, and Google Workspace to Google Workspace. An email-only Google to Google migration is free, and calendar and contacts come with a Drive migration. Other migrations are quoted after scoping.
- A wider plan range. Beyond Business Starter, Standard, Plus, and Enterprise are available through the team, along with Education and Nonprofit plans and Gemini add-ons.
- An easy exit. If you leave, your subscription is released and you can move to Google direct billing or another reseller at no fee. There is no lock-in on your account.
- A one-year price lock. Your rate is locked for the first year. After that it may change by roughly $0.50 to $1 per user per month.
- Billing that fits larger buyers. Standard checkout for most orders, custom invoices for orders over 100 mailboxes and for annual plans, and a PayPal invoice on request. Our Google Workspace billing guide explains how Workspace billing works under any reseller.
- Business email and cold email under one roof. Separate reputation for each domain, guidance of 3 to 5 mailboxes per domain, and a done-for-you cold email system offered through sales. Volume pricing falls to $2.60 per user at 300+.
Where Coldinfra Falls Short
These points come from Coldinfra’s own published pages as of September 2026. If Coldinfra has changed any of them, its current site takes precedence.
- Partner status not confirmed. It was not found in Google’s Cloud Partner Directory, and its site does not say where its licenses are sourced.
- Admin Console ownership is not stated. The site says you own your domains, but it does not say whether customers receive Google Admin Console ownership. Confirm this before scaling.
- A setup fee under a “nothing else” banner. The pricing page reads “Pay per mailbox. Nothing else,” yet it lists one-time setup fees of $24.99, $40, and $54.99.
- The headline rate needs 100 mailboxes. “From $2.50/mailbox” applies at 100+. A 10-mailbox order pays $3.00 plus the setup fee.
- A 10-mailbox minimum. Freelancers and small teams who need fewer than 10 mailboxes can’t order.
- Your domain’s DNS runs on its nameservers. You point each domain’s nameservers to Coldinfra, which then manages the zone. That adds a dependency, so ask what happens to your DNS if you leave.
- “Delivered within 24 hours” has fine print. Nameserver propagation can take up to 48 hours, and warm-up ramps over 2 to 3 weeks, with only reduced sending available sooner.
- The inbox rate is self-reported. The 98.7% figure is Coldinfra’s own claim, and no independent verification is cited.
- Thinner support. Its FAQ says replies come within one business day. No live chat, WhatsApp, or phone support is listed publicly, and priority support is reserved for the Scale plan at 100+ mailboxes.
- Mailboxes only. Its public pages list no Business Standard, Plus, Enterprise, Education, or Nonprofit plans, and no migration service.
- Card checkout only, as far as its pages show. The pricing page shows Stripe card payment and does not mention invoicing.
Recommendation by Business Segment
Cold Email Infrastructure: Leads Monky is suitable for businesses and agencies that need Google Workspace-based cold email infrastructure with a focus on deliverability, full Admin ownership, humanized custom DNS configuration, and separate domain reputation management. Coldinfra is a reasonable alternative when bundled warm-up, a dashboard, and the lowest cost at 30+ mailboxes are the priorities.
Small Businesses: Leads Monky is suitable for small businesses that want affordable business email without a minimum order, setup fee, or long-term commitment, while retaining full control of their Admin Console.
Medium Businesses: Leads Monky is suitable for growing and medium-sized businesses that need scalable Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 email, custom DNS configuration, migration support, and human assistance.
Low-Cost Business Email: Leads Monky is suitable for businesses that prioritize cost-effective business email while still wanting genuine Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 accounts, full Admin ownership, and professional support. At 30+ mailboxes on the per-mailbox rate alone, Coldinfra is cheaper.
Final Verdict: Why Leads Monky Is the Best Choice
Leads Monky is our pick as the best Google Workspace reseller of the two. You can verify its Google partner profile, you keep full Admin Console ownership and your own DNS, there is no setup fee or minimum order, and you can reach a person by live chat, WhatsApp, or phone. It also handles migration, Microsoft 365, and a wider range of plans, and you can leave at no fee. Those advantages matter most when you are trusting a provider with your business email or your outbound domains.
Coldinfra is the better fit only if the lowest per-mailbox rate at 30+ mailboxes and bundled warm-up outweigh everything above, and you are comfortable with unconfirmed partner status, nameserver delegation, and narrower support.
