Why look beyond Salesforge

Most teams want data and agents in one place.

These facts come from Salesforge's own pricing and product pages. They are the points buyers weigh when they compare.

01

Lead data is a separate product

Salesforge plans include no lead database. Lead search sits in Leadsforge, a separate product.

02

Plans are capped by volume

Pro covers 1,000 active contacts and 5,000 emails a month, Growth 10,000 contacts and 50,000 emails.

03

The AI SDR comes after a demo

Agent Frank is only available after a demo with the team, and its email infrastructure is priced separately.

How to choose

Four questions decide it.

Ask them before you book a single demo.

01

Who does the work?

A sending platform still needs someone to find leads and run it. An AI sales partner runs the campaign alongside you, and you approve what goes out.

02

Is data included?

Some tools bring contacts, some sell lead search as a separate product. Check what one campaign really needs.

03

What caps the plan?

Active contacts, emails per month and senders all set limits. Price the volume you plan to send.

04

Can you start the AI today?

Some AI SDRs need a demo first. Check whether you can try the agent yourself.
