Comparison
Mailforge is genuinely cheap at scale — shared email infrastructure from ≈$3 per mailbox down to ≈$1.67 at bulk volume, with fast bulk provisioning and DNS handled. The catch: billing is annual, up-front, with a 10-mailbox-slot minimum, and the inboxes run on shared infrastructure rather than genuine Google or Microsoft accounts. Inboxlogy sells real Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailboxes, monthly, connected free to the sending tool where your warmup runs — and you can buy exactly one. Here's the honest head-to-head.

04 / The honest read
A fair comparison names the competitor's strengths first. Here's ours.
Where Mailforge is a good fit
Mailforge is very cheap at scale — down to ≈$1.67 per mailbox at bulk volume — with fast bulk domain and mailbox provisioning and DNS setup plus maintenance handled for you. If you're running high-volume shared-infrastructure sending, know exactly how many mailboxes you'll need for the next twelve months, and are comfortable paying annually up-front, Mailforge is one of the lowest-cost options on the market.
Mailforge requires a minimum of 10 mailbox slots, billed annually up-front. Inboxlogy has no minimum and no forced packages — buy a single mailbox on monthly billing and cancel anytime. Scale to a thousand when you're ready, not before.
Mailforge's inboxes run on its own shared email infrastructure. Inboxlogy provisions real Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts (dedicated US and EU IPs) — your mail sends from the providers' native ecosystems, the reputation layer most B2B inboxes trust.
Automated SPF / DKIM / DMARC and dedicated US and EU IPs are all in the price — no add-ons — and warmup runs in your connected sequencer (Instantly, Smartlead, ReachInbox), which Inboxlogy connects to free over OAuth + API. Ownership is explicit: full admin access, 100% yours, with billing transferable direct to Google or Microsoft if you ever leave.
Order, provision and manage mailboxes programmatically and automate your entire cold-email workflow end-to-end — from new-client onboarding to scaling live campaigns, without clicking through a dashboard.
05 / The verdict
