Overview

Cold outreach covers automated LinkedIn prospecting, email outreach, follow ups, message sequences and deliverability engineering, and in this case, all three products present themselves as prospecting tools that automate such repetitive outreach to generate leads. The comparison keeps attention on what sales teams and marketing agencies need to sequence and scale outbound touchpoints.

Salesforge at a Glance

Salesforge markets itself as a full cold-outreach stack: unlimited LinkedIn senders, built-in email deliverability services, and a combined workspace view. That positioning makes Salesforge attractive for teams that want to run many simultaneous outreach campaigns without per-seat or per-identity fees, while keeping pricing competitive enough for smaller businesses to utilize the tool too. If you prioritize scale, deliverability, and advanced features like AI personalization, Salesforge is purpose-built for that.

Salesflow at a Glance

Salesflow is a LinkedIn-first automation tool that also supports email outreach. Its standard single-user price lists invite caps (about 400 invites/month) and multi-step automated sequences. Salesflow pitches a quick setup for LinkedIn-driven outreach and offers team/agency plans for larger users. It’s a solid option for sellers who want structured LinkedIn outreach with integrated email touches.

Waalaxy at a Glance

Waalaxy is widely known for its Google Chrome extension that makes LinkedIn automation accessible to non-technical users. Waalaxy offers a very limited freemium option so small teams and individuals can test the barebones campaigning features. Paid tiers add more invites, and even higher tiers add an email finder, and email outreach capabilities. Waalaxy’s visual campaign builder and browser-extension model make it appealing to solopreneurs and small teams who prioritize ease of use.

Pricing

• Salesforge (official pricing): Pro and Growth plans; Pro listed at $48/month, Growth listed at $96/month with both having annual discounts and offering a 14-day trial as well. Plans describe high contact and email allowances.
• Salesflow: Single-user pricing commonly shown at $99/user/month, with Teams and Agency requiring contacting to negotiate custom pricing. Invite counts are prominently displayed.
• Waalaxy: Very limited freemium plan exists; Pro/Advanced/Business/Elite tiers add invites and email credits (Pro ≈ $46/month without an inbox). Waalaxy publishes credits and seat-based pricing.

Multi Channel: LinkedIn and Email Outreach

Salesforge runs email + LinkedIn natively, so you can design multi-channel sequences in one place. This is true multi-channel prospecting: LinkedIn actions and email touches live in the same campaign flow.

Salesflow also supports both channels, though its core is LinkedIn-first.

Waalaxy offers LinkedIn automation via a Chrome extension and adds email sequences on paid tiers.

For teams focused on combining LinkedIn and email to maximize replies, Salesforge’s integrated stack reduces friction.

LinkedIn Automation Specifics

All three tools automate connection requests, messaging, profile visits, and staged follow-ups. Differences matter in scale:

• Salesforge claims unlimited LinkedIn senders on the Growth plan, enabling large-scale distribution. That lets you spread actions to keep each LinkedIn account safety while maintaining efficiency.
• Salesflow’s single-user plan shows a defined invites quota (~400/month), making it predictable.
• Waalaxy’s freemium plan limits invites to a low weekly/monthly total; paid plans raise that cap.

If your strategy depends on multiple LinkedIn accounts or agency-style multi-client management, Salesforge’s unlimited approach avoids per-profile billing. That reduces overhead for bigger teams and agencies.

Email automation and deliverability

Cold email success depends on deliverability:

• Salesforge emphasizes deliverability and includes free email warmup and mailbox rotation to protect sender reputation. Salesforge integrates warming and sending inside the platform so email automation scales with fewer deliverability surprises.
• Salesflow supports multi-step email sequences and follow-ups but is less vocal about infra-level deliverability features.
• Waalaxy sends emails through your SMTP/Gmail and relies on user-side setup; higher tiers add more email finder credits and sequence features.

For high-volume email outreach, Salesforge’s deliverability tooling is the differentiator.

AI personalization and automated sequences

Personalized messaging improves reply rates, helps build trust, shows relevance, reduces spam perception and creates genuine conversations - leading to higher conversions and stronger long-term relationships:

• Salesforge offers an AI solution that auto-generates tailored outreach messages, helping scale automated sequences without heavy manual copywriting.
• Salesflow and Waalaxy provide strong template and variable personalization support, but they generally depend on user-authored templates.

If your playbook needs AI-assisted highly-personalized copy, Salesforge’s automation tools are perfect to reduce time spent per lead.

Campaign Management and Multi-Step Flows

Campaign management features include scheduling, branching logic, A/B testing, and follow-up sequencing. All three tools support multi-step flows and conditional logic to varying degrees:

• Salesforge emphasizes multi-channel campaign orchestration and A/B testing for iterative optimization.
• Salesflow offers structured LinkedIn sequences and email follow-ups with reporting.
• Waalaxy centers on visual campaign building via browser extension, ideal for quick setups.

On campaign management, Salesforge focuses on scale and iteration; Waalaxy focuses on straightforward campaign creation; Salesflow balances both.

Analytics, Reporting and Optimization

You need detailed analytics to reveal what's working, identify bottlenecks, optimize messaging/timing, and allocate resources efficiently - generally increase ROI through data-driven campaign refinement.

Salesforge offers detailed, advanced analytics and support for A/B testing so teams can measure connection rates, reply rates, and conversion metrics across channels.

Salesflow reports campaign stats and has advanced reporting options.

Waalaxy shows campaign conversion and reply data in its dashboard.

Integrations and CRM sync

Integration capabilities matter - outreach data should flow into your CRM and workflows seamlessly:

• Salesforge lists native integrations with major CRMs, an API, Zapier, webhooks, even Clay. Not to mention, the Forge stack - a tool for every step of cold outreach from lead generation to email infrastructure attainment.
• Salesflow lists native HubSpot and Salesforce connectors and other CRM options.
• Waalaxy uses Zapier to push data to many CRMs and offers exports.

For enterprise-grade sync and automation at prices even small teams can handle, Salesforge’s API and native connectors truly do provide robust integration capabilities fitting for any sales team.

Team Management, Agency Features and Scaling

If you run outreach for multiple clients or manage large sales floors, per-seat costs and workspace management matter:

• Salesforge promotes unlimited users/workspaces on the Growth plan, which helps agencies and marketing agencies avoid per-seat billing.
• Salesflow offers team and enterprise plans for multi-user orchestration.
• Waalaxy charges per seat for team dashboards.

For scaling outreach across many users and accounts, Salesforge’s model reduces overhead and simplifies multi-client campaign management.

Learning Curve and Technical Knowledge Requirements

All three tools are built for sales professionals, not engineers. Their functionality shouldn't give your team headaches.

Waalaxy’s extension is ideal when you need a quick setup and minimal technical experience.

Salesflow aims for a middle ground with straightforward UI and admin options.

Salesforge packs many more features, which can increase initial learning curve but packs it all into an intuitive, user friendly interface. Salesforge also mitigates this with documentation, academy training, and strategic onboarding to reduce ramp time.

Safety and Human-Like Behavior

Automation must simulate human behavior to avoid platform flags. All vendors emphasize safe sending.

While Salesforge has automatic measures and guidelines for LinkedIn sender profiles to avoid any risks, it is still recommended to distribute actions across several LinkedIn profiles and email infrastructures to reduce risk.

Salesflow caps invitations per user to keep activity within safe ranges.

Waalaxy sets invite caps on paid tiers for safety.

Practical Checklist Before You Buy

1. Confirm invite limits for the plan you’ll buy (LinkedIn invites and email caps).
2. Ask about deliverability support (domain setup, warm-up). Salesforge explicitly offers free built-in warm-up, though it's not as clear with Salesflow.
3. Check CRM and HubSpot integration support if you want native sync.
4. If you need extremely fast deployment, prefer a google chrome extension for immediate LinkedIn campaigns.
5. For large-scale campaigns, evaluate unlimited account/workspace models vs per-seat pricing.

Final Thoughts: Salesforge vs Salesflow vs Waalaxy

All three platforms are popular tools in the outreach market and automate steps that otherwise consume sales teams’ time:

Waalaxy and Salesflow excel at ease-of-use and LinkedIn-focused prospecting.

Salesforge, however, is purpose-built to combine LinkedIn and email outreach at scale while preserving deliverability and providing AI personalization.

If your priority is to scale outbound systematically - distribute outreach across many linkedin profiles, run automated sequences across multiple channels, and integrate results into CRMs with rich analytics - Salesforge’s capabilities and architecture make it the strongest choice among the three for enterprise-style cold outreach.
