Cargo

Cargo is a platform for defining go-to-market workflows in a Git repository and running them through coding agents. It is best suited to technical teams that want lead routing and broader GTM automation managed as code. The key trade-off is usage-based credits: when they run out, existing workflows pause.

Overview

Cargo combines routing capabilities with tools for building and operating repository-defined workflows. That makes it a stronger fit for teams that want to coordinate lead qualification, territories, and other GTM processes in one programmable system than for buyers seeking a narrow, fixed-price routing tool. Its execution traces, retries, and developer controls help make recurring workflows more manageable, but the shared credit model requires teams to keep an eye on consumption.

Key features

Cargo’s primitives include agents, context, tools, data models, plays, territories, and apps. In practice, these building blocks let teams define more than assignment rules: the platform also supports lead qualification, territory routing, round-robin assignment, workflow automation, and webhooks.

Workflows can run on triggers or schedules, retry failed steps, and produce a trace of each run. Retries can help recover from failed steps, while traces give teams a way to follow execution. The Cargo CDK uses TypeScript definitions to preview changes, deploy declaratively, and roll back workspace resources, which is useful for developers who want to manage workflow changes through a code-oriented process.

Cargo lists compatibility with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Devin, and Replicas. It also lists more than 100 integrations, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Apollo.io, OpenAI, and Anthropic. That breadth may suit teams connecting GTM workflows to a mix of CRM, communication, and AI tools.

Credits cover enrichment actions, orchestration steps, and storage inserts. Every 100 orchestration steps or 1,000 storage inserts consume one credit, so usage is not limited to enrichment alone. When credits are exhausted, existing workflows pause until credits are added; Cargo says no data is lost. Teams running business-critical workflows should therefore weigh credit capacity and support level against the risk of an interruption.

Cargo says it maintains a SOC 2 Type II report and uses encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, backups, monitoring, and vulnerability management. It also says it does not use Slack data or Customer Content to train foundation models.

Pricing

Cargo has a free plan and paid plans from $165/mo. Each paid tier includes all 100+ integrations, while support rises from email to priority and dedicated support at higher credit levels.

• 100 credits: free, billed From $0/mo. Includes 100 credits, up to 100 enrichment credits, up to 10K orchestration steps, up to 100K storage inserts, and community support. This is the entry point for trying the credit model, but its smaller allowance and community support make it a limited fit for workloads that need higher capacity or direct assistance.
• 1.5K credits: $165 a month, billed From $165/mo. Includes 1.5K credits, all 100+ integrations, and email support. It is the lowest paid tier for teams needing more capacity and the full integration set.
• 2.5K credits: $250 a month, billed From $250/mo. Includes 2.5K credits, all 100+ integrations, and email support. It adds credit capacity over the 1.5K tier while keeping the same stated support level.
• 17K credits: $1,190 a month, billed From $1,190/mo. Includes 17K credits, all 100+ integrations, and priority support. This is aimed at substantially higher credit usage and teams that value faster support.
• 50K+ credits: $3,000 a month, billed From $3,000/mo. Includes 50K+ credits, all 100+ integrations, and dedicated support. It is the highest-capacity option for teams needing the most credits and dedicated assistance.

Cargo offers a free trial. Customers unhappy within the first 14 days can contact the company for a full refund. The credit-based limits matter as much as the headline price: a team that exhausts its allocation must add credits to resume existing workflows.

Platforms

Cargo is available on the web and through an API, supporting both browser-based access and programmatic use.

Who it's for

Cargo is a good fit for technical GTM teams that want developers to define and deploy routing and automation workflows from a repository, particularly when they need coding-agent compatibility and a broad integration set. It is less suitable for teams looking for a simple routing tool with fixed usage, or for those unable to tolerate workflows pausing when credits run out.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Repository-based definitions and a TypeScript CDK support previewing, declarative deployment, and rollback of workspace resources.
• Pro: Triggers, schedules, retries, and run traces provide useful controls for recurring workflow execution.
• Pro: More than 100 integrations and compatibility with several coding agents give teams options for connecting tools and execution environments.
• Con: Credits are shared across enrichment, orchestration, and storage, making consumption relevant across multiple kinds of activity.
• Con: Existing workflows pause when credits are exhausted, so teams must add credits to restore execution.
• Con: The free tier includes community support, while priority and dedicated support are reserved for higher-credit tiers.

Verdict

Choose Cargo if your team wants coding agents to run repository-defined GTM workflows and values execution controls, developer tooling, and broad integrations. Look elsewhere if predictable usage is more important than programmable flexibility: credits span several activities, and exhausted credits pause existing workflows.
