What kind of emails can I paste?
Cold sales emails, LinkedIn DMs, recruiter outreach, investor intros, follow-ups, and freelancer pitches — anything you were about to send to someone who didn't ask. Don't paste passwords, real customer data, or other sensitive info. Drafts only.
Is this going to be mean for no reason?
Brutal, but tied to your actual lines — not random snark. Every callout explains why a phrase fails (bulk-send openers, buzzword stacks, premature meeting asks). You get a score, line feedback, and a rewrite direction you can use.
Do I need an account?
No for your first roast — paste and get feedback immediately. A free account gives 3 roasts per billing cycle. Premium ($2.99/mo) adds unlimited roasts, private history, and optional leaderboard submission.
Will my email be stored or shared?
Anonymous roasts aren't saved to your account. Premium saves history privately to your dashboard. Leaderboard posts are opt-in only. Don't paste sensitive data — drafts only.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT to review my email?
ChatGPT often gives gentle, generic advice. RoastMyEmail is built for cold outreach: line-by-line callouts, a 0–100 score, four scorecard bars, and a full rewrite — calibrated for replies, not politeness.
What does a cold email score actually mean?
You get an overall 0–100 score (higher = stronger email) plus four 0–10 bars: clarity, personalization, hook strength, and spamminess (higher spamminess = more template-y). They're separate numbers — not added into 100. Tier labels like SAVAGE reflect the overall score.
Can I use this for LinkedIn DMs, not just emails?
Yes — DMs are one of the most common inputs. Same rules apply: weak openers, feature dumps, and premature asks get flagged. DMs often get extra scrutiny for bulk-send energy because readers see your profile first.
How many roasts do I get for free?
One roast with no account. After free signup: 3 roasts per billing cycle. Premium ($2.99/mo): unlimited roasts, saved history, and leaderboard access.
Will this actually help me get more replies?
If the problem is weak copy — generic openers, buzzwords, bad CTAs — yes. It won't fix a wrong list or a missing offer. Roast before you send to catch fixable mistakes fast.
