What is a good cold email open rate in 2026?
A good cold email open rate is above 30% when adjusted for Apple Mail Privacy Protection (MPP). The average sits around 27.7%, but open rates are less reliable today due to tracking inflation.
What is the average cold email reply rate?
The average reply rate is between 3% and 5%. If you're getting over 5%, you're doing better than most. Top performers reach 10% or more.
Why are cold email reply rates declining?
Reply rates are dropping because inboxes are more crowded, spam filters are stronger, and buyers are more selective. In 2019, reply rates were around 8.5%, but now they’re closer to 5%.
How many follow-ups should I send?
You should send at least 2–3 follow-ups. Nearly 40% of replies come from follow-up emails, yet many people stop after the first message.
What is a good CTR for cold emails?
A CTR below 1% is considered low. Between 1% and 3% is average, 3% to 6% is good, and anything above 6% is excellent.
