ReachiumSalesforge is a cold-email infrastructure platform that added LinkedIn as a metered side channel. Reachium runs only on the verified LinkedIn API and adds inbound content, lead magnets, booking, and a network CRM. Pick by which channel actually leads your pipeline.

| Feature | Reachium | Salesforge |
|---|---|---|
Primary channel Salesforge leads with email deliverability. Reachium is purpose-built for LinkedIn. | LinkedIn-only, end to end | Cold email first, LinkedIn second |
LinkedIn connection method Salesforge runs LinkedIn senders from the cloud with safe daily limits, outside LinkedIn's official API. | Verified LinkedIn API | Cloud automation (not official API) |
Automated multi-step LinkedIn campaigns Both build LinkedIn sequences. Salesforge blends them with email in one flow. | ||
Native cold email sending + warm-up Reachium is not an email platform. Salesforge includes Warmforge warm-up and unlimited mailboxes. | ||
LinkedIn senders / volume Salesforge attaches unlimited LinkedIn senders but meters activity: Growth includes 300 social action credits/month (Pro 100), extra sold in-app. | Per LinkedIn account on the API | Unlimited senders, metered actions |
Unified inbox across accounts Salesforge Primebox unifies email and LinkedIn. Reachium unifies LinkedIn inboxes with AI classification. | All LinkedIn accounts, AI-classified | Primebox (email + LinkedIn replies) |

Inbound AI content engine + content calendar Reachium generates LinkedIn content on a 4-bucket strategy. Salesforge is outbound-only. | ||
Lead-magnet builder + hosting Reachium builds and hosts lead magnets, detects trigger keywords on post comments, and auto-delivers the asset by DM. Not a Salesforge function. | ||
Built-in meeting booking Reachium detects meetings and books in-app. Salesforge has no native booking calendar and hands off via integrations. | No native booking (integration/handoff) | |
Network CRM with relationship history Reachium ships a LinkedIn-native CRM. Salesforge has no native CRM and relies on HubSpot, Salesforce, or GoHighLevel. | No native CRM (integrations only) | |
Done-For-You managed service Reachium offers a human-run managed tier. Salesforge sells an autonomous AI SDR add-on. | Managed tier available | Agent Frank AI SDR (from ~$499/mo) |
Reachium vs Salesforge
Salesforge runs LinkedIn senders from the cloud with throttling and dedicated IPs, but that still sits outside LinkedIn's official API and inside its tolerance for automation. Reachium runs on the verified LinkedIn API, so actions are sanctioned, not simulated. For founders and sales teams whose personal profile is the asset, that is the difference between scaling with permission and scaling on borrowed time.
Salesforge is built around email infrastructure: Warmforge warm-up, unlimited mailboxes, Mailforge and Infraforge domains. LinkedIn is a secondary touch inside an email-led sequence, and some users report connecting and managing the LinkedIn steps feels more technical to configure than the email side. Reachium does one channel completely. Eight campaign types, AI connection requests, follow-ups, A/B tests, scheduling, and throttling, all native to LinkedIn rather than wrapped around an email core.
Salesforge sends. That is the whole motion. Reachium also pulls. The AI content engine plans posts on a four-bucket strategy, the lead-magnet builder builds and hosts your asset, watches for trigger keywords on post comments, then auto-delivers it by DM to everyone who comments. Your profile optimization, content calendar, and engagement campaigns feed warm replies into the same inbox your cold campaigns use. One platform turns both motions into pipeline.
When a Salesforge prospect replies, you hand off to your CRM and calendar through integrations like HubSpot or Salesforce. Reachium keeps the loop closed. Meeting detection and reminders live in the unified inbox, booking happens in-app, and every conversation lands in a network CRM with contact cards, tags, segments, notes, relationship history, and lead scoring. Fewer tools, fewer handoffs, and a record of every relationship you build on LinkedIn.
Reachium is $79 per LinkedIn account per month billed annually ($99 month-to-month), including 25 AI credits per account. No contract, cancel anytime, data exportable for 30 days. Add-ons: pre-warmed rented accounts at $150/mo each (dedicated proxy plus 4-week warmup), extra AI credit packs from $19, and a Done-For-You managed service (talk to us).
Salesforge Pro is $40/mo billed annually ($48 monthly) with 1 LinkedIn sender, 1,000 contacts, 5,000 emails, and unlimited mailboxes. Growth is $80/mo annually ($96 monthly) with unlimited LinkedIn senders and users, but LinkedIn activity is metered: Growth includes 300 social action credits/month (Pro 100), with more sold in-app. Agent Frank AI SDR starts around $499/mo billed quarterly; annual billing gives 2 months free (~$416/mo effective). Salesforge's own site has shown a higher $599/mo figure in some views, so verify the current rate before quoting. Email infra (Mailforge/Infraforge/Primeforge), domains, and Leadsforge contact data are separate, pushing real cost floors higher. 14-day trial.

Choose Reachium if LinkedIn is your channel and you want verified-API safety, inbound content, lead magnets, booking, and a network CRM in one platform.
If cold email is your main engine and LinkedIn is a secondary touch, Salesforge wins cleanly. It bundles email warm-up, unlimited mailboxes, domain infrastructure, and a 500M-plus contact database via Leadsforge, then layers LinkedIn and an autonomous AI SDR on top. Reachium does not send email, does not enrich contacts, and is not a dialer. If you want one tool to run multi-domain email at volume, Salesforge is the right call. But if email is secondary and LinkedIn is where your buyers actually reply, that whole stack is overhead you do not need, and Reachium owns the channel that matters.
Choose Salesforge if cold email leads your pipeline and you want unlimited mailboxes, warm-up, contact data, and an autonomous AI SDR add-on.
Moving from Salesforge to Reachium means dropping the email infrastructure you do not need and reconnecting your LinkedIn accounts on the verified API. Export your contacts and replies, import them into the network CRM, and rebuild sequences as native LinkedIn campaigns. Your Salesforge email stack can keep running in parallel if you still want it.
