How we grade them
| 2.0GPAReply.ioFair | 2.8GPASalesforgeGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is on record: Reply's pricing page answered our reader with a bot check, so there's no per-head figure for a team of five to set against the category's $40 middle. With nothing published, it sits at C. Usage is also metered by active contacts each month. | APro is one user, so five people need Growth, which has unlimited users: $80 a month billed annually, $16 a head. That's under 60% of the cheaper quarter's $32.50, though AI writing and LinkedIn actions draw on monthly credits. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free is on record. With the pricing pages behind a bot check, we couldn't confirm a free plan or a trial, and an unconfirmed trial can't earn a grade. | CNo free plan. The 14-day trial gives 50 contacts, 100 emails and one LinkedIn profile, enough to see the AI writing but not a real campaign. |
| Features | BThe whole job: sequences mixing email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS, WhatsApp and tasks, with A/B variants per step and holiday calendars. Jason AI SDR answers common questions and nudges quiet leads, on autopilot or with approval. Contact search and validation use credits. | BThe whole job: email and LinkedIn sequences with profile views, requests and messages, unlimited mailboxes with warm-up and rotation, AI-written first emails and Primebox for replies. Multi-language sequences, A/B tests and AI reply drafts need Growth. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. There's real setup: email and LinkedIn accounts to connect, the LinkedIn side through a browser extension, and playbooks and knowledge bases if you want Jason writing for you. | CNo App Store rating on record. Mailboxes and domains to connect, often bought from separate Forge products, and credits to keep an eye on before sending. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb plus a browser extension, with an API, an MCP server and a command-line tool for builders. n8n is the only named integration on record, which is thin next to rivals. No phone or desktop app. | BWeb only, with HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Clay, Make, folk and Claude, plus an API, an MCP server and a command-line tool on Growth. No phone or desktop app on record. |
| Best for | multichannel sequences with an AI SDR | AI-written first emails from many mailboxes |
