If you are looking for a Breakcold alternative because you sell inside Telegram as an IB or forex affiliate, the two tools answer different questions. Scalegram is the Telegram CRM for IBs and forex affiliates: one AI bot on your own Telegram answers every lead in its own language, checks the deposit against the broker's own records over a read-only API, opens the paid group and files the client. Breakcold sells a multichannel sales CRM where email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Telegram conversations land on deals, with AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT doing the CRM admin.
So the choice comes down to who does the selling. In Breakcold, a salesperson replies from one inbox and an AI keeps the records tidy. In Scalegram, the bot holds the conversation itself and stops only where you told it to ask you first.
What Breakcold says it sells
The Breakcold home page calls it "the AI Native CRM for modern salespeople and AI agents" and links industry pages including agencies, startups, consultants, recruiters and venture capital. Among its feature pages, Telegram has its own CRM page next to LinkedIn and WhatsApp.
The Breakcold Telegram CRM page is headed "The CRM for Telegram. Sell on Telegram without opening it." It says Telegram DMs, group chats and channel conversations "all sync on their own and land on the right record", and that you can reply from Breakcold while "the prospect sees the message in Telegram like you typed it there." Pipelines can have custom stages and fields, and the page says deals advance "when the Telegram thread, email or meeting recap says they should". It names its audience directly: "Built for crypto, Web3 and global teams".
The AI part on that page is about running the CRM. A first party MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor produce pipeline reports, update records, create tasks from a Telegram thread and write weekly recaps, and the page says the MCP exposes the Telegram inbox too. The features page adds data enrichment of 50+ data points per contact, AI formulas for lead scoring, custom objects, and autonomous agents it names as OpenClaw and Hermes AI to "run outreach, follow-ups, and data hygiene on autopilot."
On price, the Breakcold pricing page shows one plan at $99 a month that "Includes 1 seat, 2 connected accounts, and 3,000 AI CRM actions", with each extra seat and each extra connected account at $10 a month, and a 14-day free trial. Quarterly billing saves 10% and annual billing saves 20%, per the same page.
That is a capable CRM for a sales team that works several channels at once, and it covers ground Scalegram does not try to cover: email, LinkedIn, calls, meeting transcripts and contact enrichment.
What Scalegram is built to do
Scalegram starts from one sale with a fixed shape. A lead arrives from an ad or a post, signs up at the broker, deposits, and the owner has to know it is real before opening the paid group. The product follows that sequence.
- The bot answers every message in the language it arrived in, using the product knowledge, saved replies, pictures, PDFs and cloned voice you gave it.
- An AI condition reads the conversation and decides whether this person is ready to buy, still deciding or not a buyer, and each gets its own branch.
- The ready branch sends your broker link, walks the lead through signing up and asks for the email or account number.
- The bot looks that email up in the broker's IB portal or the prop firm CRM over a read-only API: whether the account exists, whether a payment completed, which plan, whether KYC passed. Every call is a GET.
- When the records say yes, it approves the join request for the paid group or channel, writes UID, email, broker, deposit and a dated note onto the client card, and moves the stage forward.
- Anyone who goes quiet gets a follow-up written from where that conversation stopped, and it cancels itself when they reply.
The full flow is in the guide to an AI bot for Telegram leads, and the broker lookup has its own page: how to verify a broker deposit automatically.

Where the difference shows up
The lead who writes at 3 am
A unified inbox is only as fast as the person reading it. Breakcold's pitch is that you stop doing CRM admin so you have more time to sell. Scalegram's pitch is that the bot does the selling conversation, so a lead from Lagos or Jakarta gets an answer in their own language at their hour. If your leads are a few dozen warm deals a month that you want to work personally, the first approach suits you. If your channel brings in more people than you can answer, the second one does.
"I already deposited"
This is the message that costs IBs the most time. In a general CRM, someone opens the broker portal, searches the email and decides. Scalegram asks for the email, looks it up in the broker's records and answers from what the records say, so a claim in the chat is confirmed at the source before the paid group opens. Nothing is written back to the broker.
What is kept
Breakcold's Telegram page describes conversations syncing onto the right record, which is what you want when the thread is the history of a deal. Scalegram took the other side: there is no message table in the product. The bot reads an earlier chat only when the per-bot Earlier Conversations switch is on, for that one reply, and drops it. The reasoning is in why a Telegram CRM should not store messages.
From ad click to deposit
Most IB leads are bought with ads. Scalegram gives every link a tracked address with UTM parameters, reads fbclid, gclid, ttclid and sccid, and reports each channel join server side to Meta, TikTok and Snapchat, so a campaign can be judged on the people who joined rather than the people who clicked. The Breakcold pages I read do not describe ad attribution.
Price in practice
Both entry plans are $99 a month. Breakcold adds $10 for each extra seat or connected account, per its pricing page, and spends AI CRM actions from a monthly allowance. Scalegram Lite includes one bot, one Telegram account, one pixel group, one page, one tracked link, one copier, one Meta Ads account, one seat and 10,000 clients, and the AI runs on your own Grok, OpenAI or DeepSeek key, so the model bill is yours and visible. The full Scalegram plan is $999 a month with no counts. Every feature is on both plans; only the numbers change.
Who should pick which
Pick Breakcold if you sell across email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Telegram, want contact enrichment, and want Claude or ChatGPT to keep the pipeline current while people do the talking. Its own pages describe that job, and agencies, consultants and crypto teams are who it names.
Pick Scalegram if you are an IB, forex affiliate, prop firm affiliate or channel owner whose sale ends with a checked deposit and an opened door. It answers in the lead's language, checks the broker's records read-only, stores no messages and reports joins to Meta, TikTok and Snapchat server side.
