FORGESEND VS INSTANTLY FOR AGENCIES

ForgeSend vs Instantly for agencies running multiple clients

Instantly separates outreach and enrichment into different subscription products with no per-action cost breakdown — a real problem once you're billing several client accounts and can't point to where each one's spend actually went. ForgeSend gives every client workspace a line-item ledger, one flat agency price regardless of client count, and Private Deployment for clients who won't let their prospect data leave their own infrastructure.

AT AGENCY SCALE

Where running multiple clients on Instantly gets harder

Enrichment spend you can't attribute to a client

Instantly bills enrichment through a separate, tier-based credit subscription with no per-action cost breakdown. That's a minor inconvenience for one account. Across five, ten, or twenty client accounts, it means reconstructing what each client's data actually cost by hand instead of pulling it from the platform.

No data residency option for clients who ask

Instantly is SaaS-only. That's fine until a client's security or legal team asks where their prospect data lives and who can access it — a question that comes up more often as client rosters grow and more of them run compliance reviews on their vendors.

Launch risk that multiplies per client domain

Instantly has no mandatory pre-send DNS or warmup check. For one account, that's one point of risk. For an agency running campaigns across many client domains at once, it's the same gap repeated for every client — with no platform-level backstop catching a bad launch before it burns a client's domain.

THE FORGESEND ANSWER

Built for running many clients, not just one

See what each client's campaign actually cost

Every enrichment action is logged with provider, cost, and timestamp, exportable per workspace. Bill clients from a real line-item record instead of a credit-pool estimate.

Know who touched what, across every client workspace

The audit log attributes every action to a Manual, AI Assistant, or API Key actor, with expandable per-record detail. When a client asks who changed a campaign or exported a list, you have a real answer — not a guess.

One price, any number of clients

The Agency plan is $229/month flat, covering unlimited client workspaces. Adding a client doesn't add a subscription tier.

Private Deployment for the clients who require it

Offer Private Deployment — a dedicated setup arranged directly with the team — when a specific client needs their data to stay off third-party infrastructure, without changing how the rest of your accounts run.

AI Account Analyst

ForgeSendYes — reads your workspace data and takes guided actions, but only after showing a preview and requiring your explicit confirmation, every time.
InstantlyYes — an AI Reply Agent that can run on 'Autopilot,' sending replies and booking meetings automatically, or a human-in-the-loop review mode.

Unlike autopilot-style AI agents, ForgeSend's Account Analyst always previews and requires your explicit confirmation before taking any action — it's never fully autonomous.

AGENCY QUESTIONS

Running client campaigns on ForgeSend

Can I run separate client workspaces on ForgeSend?

Yes. The Agency plan — $229/month — includes unlimited client workspaces, each with its own campaigns, contacts, and enrichment ledger, isolated from every other client on the account.

How do I show a client what their campaign's data spend actually cost?

Every enrichment action inside a client's workspace is logged with the provider used, the exact cost, and a timestamp. Export that record per workspace and hand the client a real line-item breakdown instead of an estimate.

Does the agency plan cost more as I add clients?

No. Both agency tiers are flat-rate regardless of how many client workspaces you run — the price for three clients is the same as the price for thirty.

Can I offer Private Deployment to one client without changing my whole setup?

Private Deployment is arranged directly with the team on a per-client basis. Agencies that need it for specific clients keep those accounts on a dedicated setup and the rest on the cloud plan.

Ready to run client campaigns you can actually itemise?

One flat agency price, unlimited client workspaces, and a cost ledger built for billing clients — not guessing.
