| Best for | Teams replacing Outreach or Salesloft with one data plus sequencing platform; Teams running combined email and LinkedIn sequences; Buyers who can absorb a premium price | Buyers willing to run their own trial, since independent praise is nearly absent; Email-only sequences, where the multichannel action cap does not apply |
| Skip it if | Small teams or seed-stage startups on a tight budget; Niche industries that only need a simple sequencer; Teams that want separate best-in-class tools per channel | Buyers who want to rely on peer reviews before committing; Teams planning high-volume LinkedIn plus email sequences on a base plan; Teams that need its built-in contact data |
| Starting price | $600/mo | $40/mo |
| Pricing (vendor-stated) | Startup plan $600/mo on an annual term with 2 users included; Growth (4 users) and Elite (10 users) are custom-priced; extra users available at an unlisted price. All plans include a free trial; no free plan. | Pro $40/mo billed monthly (1 user, 1 LinkedIn sender, 5,000 emails/mo); Growth $80/mo (unlimited users and senders, 50,000 emails/mo); 2 months free on annual billing; 14-day free trial, no free plan. Agent Frank AI SDR is $499/mo billed quarterly and requires a demo. Each Forge product is subscribed to separately. The page title says from $48/mo, which does not match the plan cards. |
Users who have run it alongside Outreach, Salesloft or Apollo mostly rate it the stronger all-in-one platform for data plus multichannel sequencing, and several teams report it working well after switching. The trade-offs are a high price that even fans flag, a feature set some evaluators found heavier than they needed, and a minority who found its data inaccurate or stale or said it was hard to scale. About 39 of 100 comments were promotional, mostly stack lists and recurring cross-thread plugs (Pulse for Reddit, Jason AI, Gojiberry, OptaReach and others) that name Amplemarket in passing; they are excluded.
Users like
- Rated better than Outreach, Salesloft and Apollo as an all-in-one platform by users who have used them[1][2][3][4]
- Teams that switched report it working well, including a 50-rep HubSpot shop and a team that left Smartlead over bounce tracking[1][2][3][4]
- Several users rate its contact data above other tools they have used, calling it good quality for the price[1][2][3]
- LinkedIn automation steps (auto view, connect, message) and data-driven personalized sequencing stand out to users and evaluators[1][2][3]
Users complain about
- Expensive; one buyer who preferred it still chose Apollo on budget, and a happy customer calls it extremely pricey[1][2]
- Data quality is contested: some users found it oddly inaccurate or stale, against others who rate it the best they have used[1][2]
- Some evaluators found it full of nice-to-haves, a poor fit for a niche industry, or unable to solve their team's actual problems[1][2][3]
- A few users found it underwhelming in practice, including one who says it was much harder to scale than alternatives[1][2]
Treat the praise you see for Salesforge with caution: 55 of 100 Reddit comments were promotional, including a cross-subreddit campaign repeating 'Snov, Clay, Salesforge, each has its pros' to plug Beno One, a vendor staff reply, and a run of generic feature-list praise that other commenters openly called shilling or fake reviews. The independent first-hand reports that remain are mostly negative: an AI SDR test that produced 3 leads from 9,000 emails, a split test where Instantly out-delivered it, a 100-action monthly cap on multichannel campaigns, poor data quality in one user's tests, and complaints that the product overpromises. Only one independent comment is positive, and only in passing.
Users complain about
- Users say it overpromises, with product and support lagging its marketing and technology that feels dated[1][2][3][4]
- Its AI SDR disappointed: one critique of a 30-day test notes 3 leads from 9,000 emails, and another user says the agent kept chasing them on every channel after they had already subscribed[1][2]
- Deliverability is questioned: in one four-way split test with the same list and copy, Instantly out-delivered it, and one commenter claims Instantly and Smartlead dropped Forge mailboxes from their warmup pools (unverified)[1][2]
- Multichannel campaigns were capped at 100 actions a month in one demo, with extra actions around $0.10 each, so LinkedIn plus email sequences did not scale[1]
