Salesforge vs Starnus
Salesforge is a cold-email-first sequencer; Starnus is an AI-agent outbound platform covering ICP-to-meeting. The current record does not adopt clean Salesforge plan figures: its pricing page merges monthly/annual toggle values, so monthly versus annual equivalents are ambiguous, and Agent Frank pricing is quarterly and was not structured -- the previous draft's Pro $40/month annual ($48 monthly), Growth $80 ($96) and Agent Frank $499/month annual figures are therefore withdrawn as over-precise. Starnus shows ICP analysis as free with no account on its official homepage, and no paid amounts were verified there (reviewed 2026-11-02); the previous draft's self-serve EUR 50/month, managed EUR 500/month and $60-$300/month directory tiers are withdrawn. Pick Salesforge when you already have lists and want a sending engine; pick Starnus when you want an agent to own prospecting-to-booking with less manual orchestration -- and confirm both vendors' current pricing on their official sites before budgeting. No hands-on test was run; no reply-rate winner is declared.

|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | Outbound teams running cold email and LinkedIn at scale. | Sales teams that want ICP-led outbound |
| Plans and cost | Homepage/pricing observation only, not adopted as fact: the pricing page text render merged monthly/annual toggle values and the page title says starting at $48 per month, while the rendered Pro $40 and Growth $80 figures claim monthly billing; billing attribution could not be disentangled, so no structured price facts were recorded. Recheck official pricing before purchase. | No tier amount was verified on the official homepage reviewed on 2026-11-02; ICP analysis is shown as free with no account, without verified paid amounts. |
| Limitations | The reviewed pricing page merges toggle values, so monthly versus annual equivalents are ambiguous; Agent Frank pricing is quarterly and was not structured. | Paid amounts were not verified on the homepage. |

A 3-person agency must run cold outreach for two clients: one needs a reliable sending engine for its own lists, the other wants hands-off prospecting to booked calls.
What a successful result must preserve
Sending-engine value (mailboxes, warm-up, contacts) vs agent autonomy (research, personalization, reply handling).
