COLD EMAIL SOFTWARE

Cold email that shows you everything.

Most cold email platforms hide costs, skip safety checks, and lock you into their infrastructure. ForgeSend is built differently — every cost visible, every risk flagged before you send, and runs on your own server if you need it.

01

See every pound spent before it leaves your balance

Every enrichment action — lead search, email find, verification — is shown line by line at exact provider cost before and after it happens. No markup. No credit confusion. No surprise charges at the end of the month. ForgeSend is the only cold email platform with a built-in enrichment cost ledger.

Campaigns that aren't safe to send can't send

Before any campaign goes live, ForgeSend runs eight preflight checks — DNS configuration, inbox capacity, list verification status, variable coverage, suppression list, and more. A campaign that fails a critical check is blocked at the server level. Not warned. Blocked. Your domain reputation is protected by default, not by hoping you remembered to check.

Build sequences you can actually see

The campaign builder includes a full visual canvas — drag email steps, conditions, wait nodes, and end nodes onto an infinite board. Connect them to build branching flows that route leads based on what they do. No third-party integrations required — it ships directly inside the campaign builder.

A visual canvas sequence builder. Inside your campaign builder.

Most cold email platforms add conditional logic to a linear step list. ForgeSend is different — the campaign builder includes a full ReactFlow canvas where you drag Email Step, Condition, Wait, and End nodes onto an infinite board and connect them with edges to build branching flows visually. No separate tool, no integration, no workaround — it lives inside the campaign builder.

Frequently asked questions

What is cold email software?
A platform for sending personalised outreach emails to prospects at scale — handling sequences, inbox rotation, deliverability monitoring, and reply management.
How is ForgeSend different from Instantly or Smartlead?
ForgeSend focuses on cost transparency, pre-send safety, and self-hosting. Instantly and Smartlead are strong on volume and warmup infrastructure. ForgeSend is built for operators who need to understand exactly what is happening and exactly what it costs.
What does "self-hostable" mean?
You can run ForgeSend on your own VPS or server using Docker. Your data never leaves your infrastructure. A free Solo licence is included for single-workspace deployments.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 7 days, card captured on day 8. 500 email send limit during trial. No warmup during trial.
What enrichment providers does ForgeSend support?
ForgeSend uses a waterfall of providers — checking cheaper sources first before moving to premium providers. You only pay when a verified result is returned. Zero charge for misses.
