| Capability | Excel and Outlook | DealLaunch |
|---|---|---|
Cost | Yes Nothing extra. | Partly EUR 149/month, or EUR 399/month for a team. Published, flat, no per-seat charge. |
Bulk personalised outreach from your own mailbox Write once, send 140 individually written emails from your own address - not a marketing platform's. | No | Yes Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or your own SMTP. Paced like a human, slowed automatically when your provider pushes back. |
Replies read back into the pipeline A counterparty answers and the stage moves itself - nobody retypes anything. | Not stated by the vendor | Yes IMAP or Microsoft Graph, with out-of-office and bounce messages filtered out. |
Client-facing weekly process report The document your client actually reads on a Friday, in your own branding. | No | Yes PDF, PowerPoint and Excel. Every figure computed from the pipeline, not written by a model. |
NDA and teaser tracking | No | Yes Issued, signed, outstanding - per counterparty, and it feeds the weekly report. |
One version of the truth across the team Nobody is working from Tuesday's copy of the list. | No | Yes |
Nothing new to learn | Yes | Partly An afternoon, and your existing list imports as it is. |
Where Excel and Outlook is stronger
- Free, universal, and nobody needs training.
- For a single mandate with twenty targets, honestly still the right answer.
You run one or two mandates a year with short target lists.
Your list runs past eighty names, more than one person touches it, or you are writing the client update by hand every Friday.
