An honest Salesforge alternative
Salesforge is a cold email platform with unlimited mailboxes and warmup, part of a family of products that also sells mailboxes and sending infrastructure (Mailforge, Infraforge) and an AI SDR called Agent Frank. Terlido is one product with warmup, deliverability checks and multichannel sequences, built for outbound agencies. Here is an honest look at both.
Pricing, as of October 2026
Salesforge's plans are monthly plan prices limited by active contacts and emails a month. Mailforge and Infraforge are separate subscriptions, and Agent Frank is a separate add-on.
Salesforge

| Agent Frank$499/month | AI SDR add-on, billed quarterly |
Terlido

| Agency$149/seat/month | Unlimited mailboxes and leads, client sub-workspaces, cross-client reporting. |
Where Salesforge is stronger
- Unlimited mailboxes and warmup on every plan. Terlido caps mailboxes per workspace on Email Pro (5) and Multichannel (15); only Agency is unlimited.
- Unlimited workspaces on both plans, so keeping clients apart does not need a higher tier. On Terlido, client sub-workspaces come with the Agency plan.
- LinkedIn automation through social action credits (300 a month on Pro). Terlido does not automate LinkedIn accounts.
- Mailboxes, domains and an AI SDR from the same company. Terlido does not sell mailboxes or domains.
Where Terlido is stronger
- Terlido Email Pro includes 5,000 leads per workspace, against 1,000 active contacts on Salesforge Pro.
- WhatsApp and call steps in the same sequence as email on the Multichannel plan.
- Warmup and campaign email share one enforced daily send budget per mailbox, and a mailbox that starts landing in spam stops sending campaigns on its own.
- An MCP server for AI agents where your approval is bound to one version of a campaign.
- A Free plan with warmup on one mailbox that never expires.
Who Terlido is for
For: Outbound agencies that run cold email campaigns for clients: a workspace per client, a few warmed mailboxes per client, and a person who reads the replies.
Not a fit:
- Bought or scraped lists sent at volume.
- 10,000 emails a day from a domain registered last week.
- Teams looking for SMS or an auto-dialer. Terlido has neither.
Which one should you pick?
Pick Salesforge if: You want mailboxes, warmup, sending and an AI SDR from one vendor, or many client workspaces on a low tier.
Pick Terlido if: You run an outbound agency, already have your mailboxes, and want WhatsApp and call steps beside email with send limits that protect your clients' domains.
Terlido is new and has no customer logos or reply-rate numbers to show you. The fastest way to judge it is to connect a spare mailbox on the Free plan and watch warmup and the domain checks.
