Where they pull apart

Instantly

Stands out: Warmup, unibox, and volume send with hosted MCP and a public API.

Watch out: Deliverability still depends on your domains and inboxes, not the tool alone.

Not the right fit for

Teams that only need LinkedIn messaging
Buyers looking for an ATS

Salesforge

Stands out: Agent-written sequences across email and LinkedIn, with a public $48 rung and a 14-day trial (HubSpot, Salesforce, Clay, Slack named).

Watch out: The entry plan allows one LinkedIn sender. Unlimited senders are $96/mo billed monthly, or $80/mo billed annually. The AI agent is a $499 add, not the entry seat.

Not the right fit for

Teams that refuse AI-written outbound
Enterprises on Outreach
People who only need a $29 sequencer
