Pipeline with weighted forecast and stage breakdown

People leaving Breakcold usually weigh SalesCrew, folk, Attio, Close and lemlist. For a team that sends cold email and keeps adding people, SalesCrew comes first: every seat included, cadences on your own mailbox pool, and one approval queue for every AI-written send.

The short answer

  • Breakcold is a multichannel CRM with one plan. The first seat is included and each extra seat or connected account is charged monthly (breakcold.com/pricing, September 2026).
  • SalesCrew never charges by the seat. Core is $299 a month for the whole team, with MCP and webhooks included.
  • folk and Attio price per member or per seat and put email sequences on their higher plans. Close includes calling, email and SMS on every plan.
  • lemlist is the pure sequencer here, with email, LinkedIn, SMS, WhatsApp and calls in one flow.

How we ranked the field

Every fact in the table was read on the vendor's own pricing or product page in September 2026. Nothing came from review sites.

Evaluated from Breakcold's own documentation and pricing, September 2026.

Breakcold sells to founders and agencies who want the pipeline and the conversation in one place. So we scored each option on three things: what an extra person costs, whether cold email actually sends from inside the tool, and how you keep AI in check once it starts writing. A CRM that only logs messages scored below one that sends them.

What to check before you switch

Count your connected accounts. Breakcold ties LinkedIn and email accounts to your plan, so list each one and who owns it. In SalesCrew, email accounts join the sender pool with their own daily caps. LinkedIn runs as a human-executed queue with a ledger of every touch.

Export your pipeline next. SalesCrew imports contacts, companies, deals, notes and tasks from any CRM's CSV export, and connecting each mailbox over IMAP backfills the last 90 days of threads on the first sync.

Finally, decide who approves AI. Every SalesCrew agent starts in review mode, so nothing an agent writes goes out until a person approves it. You can move an agent to auto later, per action class, from the Agents page.
