The short version

  • Only Dock has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Dock the free plan excludes Salesforce and HubSpot integration, which is the capability that turns Dock from a nicer file share into a sales tool, so the free tier does not let you evaluate the thing you would actually buy.; Mailshake no free trial is offered, unlike some competing outreach tools.
  • They diverge on capability: Dock covers Digital sales rooms, Mailshake covers Automated Email Sequences.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dock

  • The free plan excludes Salesforce and HubSpot integration, which is the capability that turns Dock from a nicer file share into a sales tool, so the free tier does not let you evaluate the thing you would actually buy.
  • Branding and layout customisation is the most common complaint from users; teams with strict design standards find workspaces they cannot make match the rest of their buyer-facing material.
  • Workspaces render poorly on mobile, which matters because executive stakeholders in a buying committee frequently open a shared link on a phone first and form their impression there.
  • Premium requires annual billing at 1,000 US dollars a month, so the step from Standard is a twelve-thousand dollar commitment rather than an incremental monthly upgrade, and it is triggered by asset limits as often as by seat count.
  • The HubSpot integration is reported as noticeably weaker than the Salesforce one, so HubSpot-based teams get less of the CRM automation that justifies the paid tiers.

Mailshake

  • No free trial is offered, unlike some competing outreach tools.
  • The phone dialer and larger data finder credit allotments are only available on the higher-priced Sales Engagement plan.
  • Pricing scales per user/email address, which can become costly for larger outbound teams.
  • CRM integrations (Salesforce, Pipedrive, HubSpot) are limited to the Email Outreach plan and above, unavailable on Starter.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dock: Do buyers and clients need a licence?

No. External collaborators are free on every plan, including Free.

Mailshake: How am I charged for Mailshake?

Billing is paid by the team and based on the number of users purchased. Each user allows one connected mail account, so a 3-user plan enables 3 connected mailboxes.

Dock: Is Dock useful without a CRM integration?

Much less so, and the free plan has none. Budget for Standard if you want activity flowing back to Salesforce or HubSpot.

Mailshake: Is there a free trial for Mailshake?

No free trial is offered. Instead, Mailshake provides concierge onboarding, deliverability training, and support resources to new customers.

Source
Dock: Can it handle post-sale onboarding as well as deals?

Yes, that is one of its stronger arguments: the same workspace carries from deal to implementation without rebuilding it.

Mailshake: Can I cancel my Mailshake subscription at any time?

Yes, subscriptions can be cancelled at any time before the renewal date without additional charges, aside from any outstanding prorated costs.

Source
Dock: Is pricing per seat?

Partly. Plans bundle a user count and additional seats are 50 US dollars a month each on top.
