How we count: every vendor at the same emails a day, each at its own published emails per mailbox a day (ours 25, Premium Inboxes 15, Maildoso 15, Mailforge 30, InboxKit 40), so a cheap mailbox that sends fewer emails needs more mailboxes. A month is 22 sending days, so emails a month = emails a day × 22. List prices on monthly billing, in USD, excluding domains, taxes and discounts. A mailbox-only vendor cannot send campaigns on its own, so its total is the full sending setup: its mailboxes, domains and the sequencer plan that covers the volume. Instantly is the reference sequencer, on its published plans for the emails and new contacts a month (emails ÷ 3); Smartlead where Instantly publishes no plan; Mailforge with Salesforge, because its mailboxes cannot be warmed in Instantly. The mailbox line is listed on its own in every cell.Outreach2day on comparison pages: $2.50 a mailbox up to 99, $1.50 from 100, $0.50 from 1,000.

Outreach2day: 25 cold emails per mailbox a day, 5 mailboxes per domain, .com domains at $13 a year (1,000 mailboxes and 200 domains at 25,000 a day; 40,000 and 8,000 at 1,000,000). Instantly and Smartlead with the accounts they sell, at the published plan for the volume; mailbox vendors at their own emails-per-mailbox limit with their domains and the Instantly (Mailforge: Salesforge) plan for the volume. A month is 22 sending days, so emails a month = emails a day × 22. Where a vendor publishes no price at that size the cell says so and the chart leaves it out. At this size the main table's flat $2.50 a Maildoso mailbox gives way to its published packs.

The details

What you pay each month

Mailforge bills slots: $3 a month for the first 10 and up to 100 add-on slots, then $0.10 less per 100 add-on slots, down to $2 above 1,000 add-on slots. SSL and domain masking are $2 per domain a month. A .com domain is $14 a year. Every tier is in Mailforge pricing.

Mailforge has no free trial, and its pricing page lists no coupon. The one discount is yearly billing, 2 months free on slots; the Mailforge free trial and yearly discount details are in the pricing post.

With Instantly as the sender (warmup included in its plan): $159 at 625 a day against our $62.50; $1,344.80 at 10,000 against $600. Masking is not in these totals.

Monitoring

Mailforge's placement tests and blacklist checks live in Warmforge. Ours are in the same app as the mailboxes: warmup inbox, spam and bounce rate for every mailbox, plus Google and Outlook placement tests.
