Mailboundry vs Mailforge
Mailforge is cheap and fast, on IPs shared with the pool. Mailboundry offers an IP nobody else touches.
VS
Which one fits your sending
Choose Mailboundry if
- You choose the IP model your volume deserves: vetted managed pools from $0.80, dedicated IPs from $1.30
- On Dedicated, a bad campaign is contained to one IP instead of degrading a whole pool
- Outreach, lead data and reply handling are included, not a second subscription
Choose Mailforge if
- You are testing cold email for the first time and want the lowest possible entry cost
- You expect a high spam-complaint rate and would rather not put it on your own IP
- You want to borrow an established pool reputation instead of building your own
Both give you
- Domains bought and configured in-app
- Automated SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX
- SSL and domain masking
- Bulk mailbox creation
- API access

100 mailboxes, both ways
A hundred mailboxes is where per-mailbox pricing stops being an abstraction. Domains are extra on both sides.
100 mailboxes at $1.50 on annual billing, all on your workspace’s dedicated IP, plus domains at $8–$14 a year.
100 mailbox slots at about $2 on annual billing, on shared pool IPs, plus roughly $14 per domain per year.
Three reasons that decide it
The $0.30 question
At 100 mailboxes the gap is about $30 a month: the cost of owning your reputation.
Isolation you can prove
On a shared pool you can’t tell whose fault a drop is. On a dedicated IP, it’s in your data.
Not another subscription
Mailforge still needs a sequencer. Mailboundry lives inside Outboundry.
