Reachkit vs Salesforge

Salesforge is cheaper for a big fleet of mailboxes if you’ll assemble the pieces yourself; Reachkit includes lead data in its plan and sets up inboxes in the same app. Salesforge AI sells separately billed products: the Salesforge sequencer, three kinds of mailboxes, Leadsforge data, Warmforge warmup (free with Salesforge) and Agent Frank, an AI SDR. I checked all of it in October 2026.

Pick Salesforge if:

• You want cheaper mailboxes, a dedicated IP, or domains you can transfer out.
• Your sequences mix email with LinkedIn steps.
• You want an AI SDR that prospects and follows up on its own.

Pick Reachkit if:

• You want lead credits, A/B tests and teammates included at $39. Salesforge’s $48 Pro plan is single-user without A/B tests, and its lead data comes from Leadsforge, billed separately.
• You like starting from a one-line brief: the AI writes the sequence and sizes the audience, and Google or Microsoft inboxes are ordered in the same app.
• You want conservative defaults: 20 emails per inbox a day, open tracking off, and campaigns that pause when bounces go over 5%.

Salesforge sells its tools as separate products under one Forge login, so buying your mailboxes and data from Salesforge means three subscriptions:

• The Salesforge sequencer: Pro at $48 a month for one user, or Growth at $96 with unlimited users and workspaces.
• Mailboxes: Mailforge (shared IP) at $3 each a month, Infraforge (dedicated IP) at $4 a month, billed quarterly, or Primeforge (Google Workspace and Microsoft 365) at $4.50, with a 10-mailbox minimum and .com domains at $14 a year.
• Leadsforge data: from $49 a month for 2,000 credits.

Warmforge warmup is free with Salesforge, and every mailbox type undercuts Reachkit’s $5. The catch is Pro, which has no API, MCP, CRM integrations, A/B tests or add-ons.

Reachkit sells one plan per workspace. The $39 Growth plan covers the AI campaign builder, 1,000 Lead Finder credits a month, unlimited inboxes with warmup, A/B tests, the Unibox and any number of teammates. Done-for-you inboxes ($5 a month), domains ($15 a year) and credit top-ups are the paid extras.

Salesforge automates the build but leaves more of the design to you: mailbox product, provider mix, domain names (it can generate lookalikes) and mailboxes per domain (it suggests 2 to 3). Mailforge, Infraforge or Primeforge then buys the domains, sets up SPF, DKIM, DMARC and forwarding, and creates the mailboxes, which you export into Salesforge (up to 15 minutes, per Primeforge’s guide). Leads come from a CSV, a CRM, Clay or Leadsforge, and the copy is yours or AI-written on credits.

Reachkit starts with the campaign. Describe who you’re after in one line, and its AI writes the sequence and estimates how many matching leads Lead Finder’s 500M+ profiles hold. Next, order as many Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 inboxes as you need: Reachkit registers lookalike domains for them, configures DNS, sets each one up with your name and profile photo, and starts its warmup.

New mailboxes need warmup in both: Salesforge’s onboarding guide says to start sequencing on day 15, and Reachkit asks for at least 3 weeks, 4 to 6 if you can wait. Salesforge also sells pre-warmed Primeforge mailboxes ($9 a month each, minimum four domains), which is a real head start. My own rule is eight weeks before judging a new setup: four of warmup, four of real sends.

Salesforge offers more kinds of infrastructure, while Reachkit sticks to Google and Microsoft mailboxes with conservative defaults. Mailforge mailboxes share an IP pool with other businesses, and Salesforge’s help center calls their deliverability “solid but can depend on other users activity due to shared IP infrastructure”.

Mailforge’s calculator recommends 30 emails per mailbox a day, and the help center calls 20 to 40 “Safe Long-Term”. Tracking is set per sequence, and Salesforge advises against open tracking. Warmforge also checks DNS and blacklists and suspends mailboxes with problems; Reachkit doesn’t monitor blacklists, though it pauses warmup if a domain can’t receive mail.

What Reachkit does by default:

• Done-for-you inboxes sit on new lookalike domains, never your main one.
• A new inbox sends 3 campaign emails a day, then climbs by 3 on each day it sends its full amount, to a cap of 20.
• Open tracking starts off: scanners and Apple’s privacy features make open counts unreliable, and pixels can hurt spam scores. There’s no click tracking.
• Uploaded CSVs are verified by default, an unsubscribe adds that address to the workspace blocklist, and a campaign pauses itself past a 5% bounce rate.

A shared pool is cheaper, but part of your reputation then rides on other senders. And while Salesforge plans connect unlimited mailboxes, its terms, last updated June 2024, say it might limit a workspace to 99 connected email accounts.

Salesforge and Reachkit both put replies in one inbox on every plan. Salesforge’s Primebox collects email and LinkedIn replies, tags sentiment with AI, catches replies from anyone at a contact’s company and has iOS and Android apps. Pro has one user, and Primebox AI, which drafts replies, needs Growth.

Reachkit’s Unibox tags replies with an AI label from a set of 12, from Interested and Referral to Wrong Person, and Reachkit polls inboxes with a running campaign for replies roughly every minute. Teammates are unlimited on every plan, with access set per feature.

For agencies, Salesforge has the structural edge: its plans include unlimited workspaces, so clients don’t each need a plan, and it runs a white-label program. In Reachkit every client workspace needs its own plan and there’s no white label; you invite the client in and choose what they see.

Salesforge goes further with AI that acts on its own. Its reply AI has Co-pilot and Auto-pilot modes, and Agent Frank, its AI SDR, prospects, writes, follows up by email and LinkedIn, and books meetings through scheduling links. Agent Frank’s page lists $599 a month billed quarterly or $499 a month billed annually for 1,000 contacts in sequence at a time (October 2026), plus mailboxes, and he’s sold after a demo, with no trial.

Reachkit’s AI stops at drafting. It writes the campaign, finds and verifies the audience, writes warmup and labels replies, while answering leads and booking meetings stay with you. For the autonomous-SDR model in more depth, see Reachkit vs Artisan.

Both have an official MCP server, a standard connector that lets AI assistants work inside other software. Salesforge’s, launched March 31, 2026, spans every Forge product, from domains and mailboxes to Leadsforge enrichment, and needs Growth; its docs name Claude, Gemini, Codex, Cursor and Windsurf. Reachkit’s works with Claude and ChatGPT on any plan, even the trial, and is built to show you each message as it will go out and wait for your OK before a campaign starts.

Salesforge’s API is on Growth ($96); Reachkit’s REST API, webhooks and CRM sync are on Scale ($99). Salesforge also connects to more CRMs, including Salesforce, Pipedrive and Attio, where Reachkit syncs with HubSpot, Zoho, Odoo and GoHighLevel.

These are the two standard setups, priced from each vendor’s public pricing pages in October 2026 and billed monthly (Salesforge’s page opens on annual prices). Mailforge is shared IP; Primeforge is Google or Microsoft, like Reachkit’s inboxes. Lead data assumes one credit per verified prospect, and Reachkit tops up beyond its included credits.

A founder starting out: 10 inboxes on 5 domains, about 4,000 emails a month to 1,500 new prospects.

With your own list, it’s $95.25 for Reachkit against $83.83 and $98.83, so Mailforge is the cheapest start if a shared IP suits you. Pro’s 1,000 active contacts are enough if each sequence wraps up within about 20 days. Reachkit’s Growth plan has room for 5,000 stored contacts, which fills in month four at this pace unless you delete old campaigns or move up a plan.

An agency or growing team: 3 users, 60 inboxes on 20 domains, about 25,000 emails a month to 10,000 new prospects.

Salesforge is cheaper at this size, by $40.67 to $100.67 a month, and still $10.67 cheaper with all 60 on Primeforge ($538.33). Leadsforge credits never expire, and Salesforge’s Growth limit counts the 10,000 contacts active at once. Reachkit’s entry Scale tier stores up to 25,000 contacts, roughly 2.5 months of prospects here; the next tier up includes enough credits and makes the total $564.

On annual billing, the founder setup is $97.75 for Reachkit against $119.83 and $132.33 ($85.25 against $70.83 and $83.33 without lead data), and the agency setup $529 against $402.33 and $452.33. Current prices: Reachkit and Salesforge.

Salesforge’s reviews split into two camps. On G2 it shows about 4.6 from around 150 reviews in Google’s listing. On Trustpilot it holds 3.4 from 32 reviews, 17 of them five-star and 9 one-star (both checked October 2026).

What reviewers like:

• Unlimited mailboxes, LinkedIn senders and workspaces without per-seat pricing. One Trustpilot reviewer singled out “…their unlimited workspace and senders offering”.
• Steady sending for some teams: “…deliverability has been solid and consistent…”, another wrote.
• A company that answers its reviews in public and points to fixes it shipped during 2026.

What they complain about:

• Support that doesn’t resolve issues, though G2’s review summary praises Salesforge’s support far more often than it faults it.
• Leaving: cancellation through live chat only, and no refunds.
• Pricing split across separate products; G2’s summary of Mailforge reviews also mentions confusing pricing.
• AI personalization that one Trustpilot reviewer found “…barely noticeable”; Salesforge says it has since rebuilt that engine.

I’d recommend Salesforge over Reachkit in five situations:

• You run lots of mailboxes or client workspaces on a tight budget. At 60 inboxes, Salesforge comes in $10.67 to $100.67 a month under Reachkit, depending on the mailbox type, and its plans include unlimited workspaces.
• You want a dedicated IP. Infraforge gives you your own IP from $4 a mailbox a month, billed quarterly. Reachkit’s done-for-you inboxes run on Google and Microsoft.
• You want your domains to stay portable. Salesforge publishes a transfer-out process with an EPP code, and Primeforge lets you bring domains you already own.
• LinkedIn is part of your outreach. Salesforge puts email and LinkedIn steps, InMail included, in one sequence. Reachkit is email only.
• You have budget for an AI SDR. Agent Frank prospects and follows up on his own. Reachkit’s AI drafts, and a person approves.

Outside those cases, Reachkit gets you from a campaign idea to sending with fewer things to buy and keep track of.

If you keep your Forge mailboxes, the move is a day’s work; if you replace them, budget about three weeks for warmup.

1. Export before you cancel. Cancelling takes a live chat at least 7 days before the term ends, and access to your account and data ends with the term. I couldn’t find a documented in-app export for contacts, sequences or Primebox threads, so copy what you need or pull it through the API on Growth. Annual plans aren’t refunded, so time the move to your renewal.
2. Bring the mailboxes across. Mailforge and Infraforge mailboxes export as a CSV of SMTP and IMAP logins, which Reachkit imports in bulk. Primeforge says its mailboxes must connect through Google or Microsoft sign-in, which Reachkit uses for those providers, so test one first. Connecting them is free, but you keep paying Salesforge for the mailboxes.
3. Move domains if you want them out. Support gives you an EPP code to transfer (new domains are usually locked for 60 days), or you can repoint the nameservers while the registration stays put. Reachkit’s done-for-you setup only uses new domains, so host existing ones on your own Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and connect the inboxes.
4. Rebuild the campaign. Import your list (verified at 1 credit per 10 addresses), add your do-not-contact list to the blocklist, and paste or redraft the sequence. Mailboxes keep their sending history wherever they connect. LinkedIn steps stay behind, because Reachkit is email only.

Salesforge is a capable kit with low mailbox prices, and if you run a large mailbox fleet, need LinkedIn in the sequence or want an AI SDR, it’s the better fit. On my calls the ask is usually narrower: describe the campaign, get verified leads, have Google or Microsoft inboxes built for them, and answer replies, without managing three subscriptions. That’s the job I built Reachkit for, and you can try it free for 30 days, no card, with the mailboxes you already have.
