Salesforge gives you the tool. Cleverly gives you the strategy, execution, optimization, and results.
Cleverly optimizes for booked meetings and pipeline, not vanity metrics like connection counts.
Cleverly uses human-like, compliant outreach methods, reducing account risk compared to aggressive automation setups.
Cleverly has helped 1,000+ B2B companies generate predictable outbound results—across SaaS, agencies, services, and enterprise sales.
You get a dedicated account manager, not just a dashboard.
Don't just take our word for it — see what real customers are saying!
The customer service responds if you ask something but it's useless: as there is no wilingness to solve things.
The software keeps changing, but somehow every update makes the experience worse.
Constant technical issues and slow replies from customer support.
The project managers at Cleverly really want to help, so you feel part of a team, and not just a transaction.
Even at the onboarding stage, the depth of their sales expertise and industry knowledge is remarkable.
Got good feedback and used the data to adjust our strategy.
Cleverly provides an agency-managed cold email service covering prospect research, copywriting, and campaign optimization. Salesforge offers outreach software and Agent Frank, an AI SDR that automates prospecting and conversations with account-manager support. The main difference is agency-led execution versus an AI-led workflow.
No. Salesforge’s Pro software plan starts at $40 per month with annual billing. Agent Frank is priced separately, and email infrastructure is an additional cost. Compare the complete setup you need rather than treating the software subscription as the price of fully automated outreach.
Yes. Agent Frank offers a Co-Pilot mode that lets you review its work, alongside an Auto-Pilot mode for autonomous operation. You also provide business information and configure the agent’s goals and tone. This suits teams that want control over an AI-led outreach process.
Salesforge needs connected sending mailboxes. You can bring your own or use its infrastructure products. Unlimited mailbox connections and included warmup do not mean mailbox hosting and domains are free, so include those costs when planning your cold email budget.
Cleverly suits companies that want to delegate cold email strategy and ongoing campaign work to a specialist team. Its appeal is having people manage audience selection, messaging, testing, and optimization as a service, rather than adopting an AI SDR as part of their sales operation.
