Boomerang in depth

Read the full write-up

Boomerang suits people who manage a busy email inbox and coordinate meetings from it. Its appeal is the range of email controls and scheduling tools; the Basic plan’s 10 monthly message credits make it a limited fit for regular use.

Overview

Founded in 2010, Boomerang combines email productivity tools with meeting scheduling in browser extensions and mobile apps. It covers several stages of email work, from delaying a send and prompting a follow-up to snoozing messages or pausing incoming mail. Meeting tools add ways to find a time with a group or let others book one.

That breadth favors people who handle frequent correspondence and meeting coordination. If you only need to schedule an occasional email, Basic may be sufficient, but its monthly credit cap is easy to reach with repeated use. The plan choice also depends on account type: Personal is for Gmail addresses, while Basic, Pro and Premium support Gmail and Google Workspace accounts.

Key features

Email controls and writing help

Send Later, follow-up reminders, inbox snoozing, read receipts and Inbox Pause address different inbox tasks. Automated follow-ups and recurring emails make the toolkit relevant to repeat communication, while Respondable offers real-time AI help with making messages more actionable and selecting an appropriate tone. These tools are most useful when email is part of a daily workflow; they are more than an occasional send-later utility.

Basic counts messages scheduled with Boomerang features against 10 monthly credits. That is a meaningful constraint for anyone who relies on several of these controls throughout the month, so regular users are more likely to need a paid plan with unlimited credits.

Meeting coordination

Meeting Poll lets invitees vote on a time, while Bookable Schedule, Free/Busy sharing and Suggest Times cover other coordination needs. Bookable Schedule supports multiple calendars and integrates with Zoom and Google Meet on the Gmail product page; the Outlook product page describes support for multiple calendars, Microsoft Teams and Zoom. This makes Boomerang a stronger choice for people who want meeting coordination alongside email controls rather than a standalone scheduling tool.

Pricing

Boomerang uses a freemium model, with a free plan and a 30-day trial. The paid plan prices below are monthly amounts billed annually, so the annual billing term matters when comparing them with month-to-month services.

Personal removes the credit cap and includes mobile apps, but is limited to Gmail addresses. Pro adds advanced Inbox Pause and Respondable plus recurring messages, and supports Google Workspace; Premium is the tier for CRM integration and priority support. Enterprise is also an offering, with custom pricing, a dedicated customer success manager, onboarding, customized training and priority support. Boomerang says it has SOC 2 certification for enterprise security and compliance.

Platforms

Boomerang is available on Android, iOS, the web and as a browser extension. The plan details distinguish mobile-app access for Personal, which includes iPhone and Android apps, from the Gmail and Google Workspace account eligibility that separates the other tiers.

Who it's for

Boomerang fits people with crowded inboxes and professionals who routinely send follow-ups or coordinate meeting times. Its Outlook product page identifies sales and business people, small businesses, freelancers and executives as users. The combination is especially relevant when the same person needs inbox controls and ways to arrange meetings; someone who needs only one of those jobs may find a narrower tool a better fit.

Pros and cons

Pros: Email scheduling, follow-ups, snoozing, read receipts and Inbox Pause cover several points in the inbox workflow.

Pros: Meeting Poll, Bookable Schedule, Free/Busy sharing and Suggest Times add meeting coordination without leaving the broader email toolkit.

Pros: Pro and Premium support Google Workspace as well as Gmail, and Premium adds Salesforce/CRM integration and priority support.

Cons: Basic’s 10 monthly message credits limit its usefulness for frequent scheduling and other Boomerang-feature messages.

Cons: Personal is restricted to Gmail addresses, so Google Workspace users need to choose another tier.

Cons: Paid plans are billed annually, which is a commitment for users who are still deciding whether the extra controls justify regular use.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, browse Email Scheduling Software.

Mixmax is worth considering if tracked email and sequences are the priority: its free plan includes 20 tracked emails per month and up to 50 sequence recipients per month.

FollowUpThen may suit someone who mainly needs follow-up reminders; its free plan allows 50 active followups per month and is free forever.

Yesware is an alternative for basic email and attachment tracking, with a free plan that also includes a meeting scheduler and 10 campaign recipients per month.

Scurry offers a free Seedling plan with 100 Acorns per month, three emails per sequence and one active workflow.

YAMM is an option for mail merging, with a free plan capped at 20 recipients per day for one user.

Outplay may be a better fit for prospect outreach: its free-forever plan includes one user, two mailboxes and 2,000 active prospects per month.

Right Inbox has a limited free plan for solo use with five emails per month, but excludes Mail Merge, Email Sequences and CRM Integration.

Instantly is a paid alternative with no free plan; its Growth (Credits) plan is $47 a month, billed monthly, and includes 1,500–2,000 Instantly Credits monthly plus a database of 450M+ B2B leads.

Verdict

Choose Boomerang if you are a Gmail or Google Workspace user who wants inbox controls, follow-up tools and meeting coordination in one toolkit. Its main strength is combining those everyday email and scheduling tasks; look elsewhere if you need a larger free allowance, a Gmail-only Personal plan does not suit your account, or annual billing is not right for you.

Verdict

Boomerang brings email controls and meeting scheduling together, with plans for Gmail and Google Workspace accounts depending on tier. The free plan has a monthly credit cap, while listed paid plans are billed annually.
