By Mohit MimaniPublished on: Mar 30, 2026 · 9 min read · Last reviewed: Mar 2026
TL;DR
InboxKit offers plans from $39/mo (from $2.99/additional on Enterprise) with both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 support, isolated warmup ($3/mailbox/mo add-on) and InfraGuard. Primeforge focuses on Microsoft at $4.50/mo with no monitoring. Full comparison inside.
Quick Verdict
InboxKit wins on price, provider diversity, warmup, and monitoring. InboxKit offers Google Workspace at $2.99/mo and Microsoft 365 at $2.99/mo. Primeforge prices range from $3.50-$4.50/mailbox depending on plan, and requires up to 4 separate Forge products (Primeforge, Warmforge, Infraforge, Mailforge) to match InboxKit's feature set.
Primeforge's advantage is domain quality with aged domains. For most teams, InboxKit's single-platform approach and lower total cost make it the better choice.
Pricing
| Feature |  InboxKit |  Primeforge |
|---|---|---|
| Plans | From $39/mo (10 incl., from $2.99 additional) | $3.50-$4.50/mo |
| Microsoft 365 | $2.99/mo | $3.50-$4.50/mo |

50-mailbox Microsoft setup (with warmup and monitoring):
| Cost Item | InboxKit | Primeforge (full stack) |
|---|---|---|
| Mailboxes | $2.99 x 50 = $149.50 | $4.50 x 50 = $225.00 |
| Warmup | $3.00 x 50 = $150.00 | Warmforge: $2.00 x 50 = $100.00 |
| Monitoring | InfraGuard (per-domain) | Infraforge: $1.50 x 50 = $75.00 |
| Total | $299.50 + InfraGuard | $400.00 (no inbox testing) |
Primeforge requires managing 3 separate products with 3 separate logins and bills. InboxKit consolidates everything in one dashboard.
Provider Support
InboxKit: Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Running a mix reduces risk if one provider changes enforcement policies.
Primeforge: Microsoft 365 only. No Google Workspace support means you cannot diversify across providers.
Provider diversity is increasingly important as both Google and Microsoft periodically tighten cold email enforcement.
Warmup and Monitoring
InboxKit: Isolated warmup at $3.00/mailbox/mo, InfraGuard monitoring at per-domain pricing. 14-21 day warmup period. Single dashboard for everything.
Primeforge: Warmup requires separate Warmforge subscription ($2/mailbox/mo). Monitoring requires Infraforge ($1.50/mailbox/mo). 19-24 day warmup.
InboxKit's warmup is faster (14-21 vs 19-24 days) and uses an isolated network rather than shared pools. The key advantage is operational: one platform vs. three separate Forge products.
Integrations
InboxKit: 24+ sequencer integrations including Instantly, SmartLead, HeyReach, Salesforge, Woodpecker, Quickmail, Reply.io, Snov.io, Lemlist, Apollo, and more.
Primeforge: 4 integrations. If your sequencer is not supported, manual IMAP/SMTP setup is required.
InboxKit's integration breadth means you are never locked into one sending platform.
