I run a small agency with a couple of friends. Most of my leads come from referrals and word of mouth, but cold email is my main outbound channel, and I've been using Salesforge for about 6 months now.
Before this I was jumping between Apollo, Smartlead and Instantly. They're all fine, but I'd get decent open rates and barely any replies. Since switching, that's actually improved. I ran close to 10 campaigns, about 6 did well, and I went from booking around 5 meetings a month to nearly double that.
What works for me:
The visual sequence builder is easy to use and makes multichannel sequences simple to set up. Lead finding is built in, with a chat-style interface where you just ask for the leads you want, and the data accuracy has been solid, north of 90 percent in my experience. The interface is clean and the monthly analytics on outreach and meetings booked are genuinely useful.
On pricing, it's actually affordable for what you get, especially compared to other tools once you start scaling up mailboxes and volume. That's where a lot of platforms start to get expensive, but Salesforge has stayed reasonable for me. There's a small learning curve early on if you're coming from something simpler, but nothing major.
Overall, for a small team that leans on cold email and cares about actual replies, it's been the best fit for me so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's a small learning curve at the start, especially if you're coming from a simpler tool. It took me a few days to get comfortable with everything, but once it clicked it was fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
