Belkins alternatives in 2026: 6 agencies compared

Who Belkins is, and what they are demonstrably good at

Belkins is a B2B lead generation and appointment-setting agency founded in 2017, bootstrapped, headquartered in Dover, Delaware. Its milestone timeline records 300 employees by the end of 2022, and its homepage claims 1,000+ clients across 50+ industries and more than $2B in client revenue since 2017 (self-reported).

What they are demonstrably good at, per their own pages: omnichannel appointment setting at volume, with named enterprise case studies such as Autodesk and GE HealthCare; a documented 14-day launch with a dedicated multi-role team per account; and real deliverability depth, from building their own platform, Folderly, to publishing a warm-up ramp that starts at 10 to 20 emails per day and reaches 80 to 200 by day 14. Nothing on this page argues with any of that.

Fit-based reasons people look at alternatives

These are fit questions, not complaints, each grounded in Belkins' own pages.

• Quote-only pricing. The pricing page names its tiers, Growth at 100+ yearly appointments, Growth Plus at 200+, For Small Business at 30+, but publishes no dollar amounts. The one figure sits on the service pages: "The average starter price: from $4,000." The appointment-setting page's own schema markup lists the same offer at $8,000, so the working number arrives on a sales call.
• Retainer economics. Tools are "included in our retainer," per the pricing page. Buyers who want the agency's pay tied to output sit outside the published model; our pay-per-appointment vs retainer guide walks through the trade-offs.
• Yearly appointment framing. Packages are framed on 30+ to 200+ appointments per year, which suits a year-long program more than a short pilot.
• Small business is routed to partners. The For Small Business tier is "delivered through partnering agencies from the Belkins ecosystem," per the pricing page, so lean teams may not work with the core team at all.
• Full-bundle scope. The engagement bundles research, copywriting, multi-channel outreach and a multi-role team; a buyer who wants one channel done deeply may not need it all.

The 6 alternatives, in order

Ordering after ReplyLead is editorial; each entry states its reason.

1. ReplyLead (that is us)

Why first: it is our list, and it is the opposite model to a retainer.

The plain disclosure again: this is our list, and we put ourselves first on it. The model is the difference: a lean amount covers the dedicated sending infrastructure, and the bulk of our compensation comes from the revenue share, percentage and attribution window agreed up front, no long-term lock-in. The infrastructure cost is a published line-item fee table on the ROI calculator: $2,023 per month at 25,000 emails, $5,531 at 100,000. The results are named on the case studies page: CEO Coaching International (90+ positive replies per month, client since 2024), CTAP Inc. and Media Funds (client since 2011, 75,000 emails per month, 70+ positive replies), and TrailerSteps.com (100,000 emails per month, 60+ leads per month). In-browser, no-signup tools live on the tools hub. Best for: companies that want cold email done deeply, with the agency paid mostly when deals close.

2. CIENCE

Why second: the closest to Belkins in scale and breadth, with a full public price list.

CIENCE runs managed outbound, SDR teams and go-to-market execution on its own graph8 platform, and it prices in the open. Per its published pricing page: GTM system setup is $5,000 one time, a strategic team is $2,000 per month and the platform is $499 per month, a first month totaling $7,499; terms are month to month with a performance commission on top. Best for: Belkins' scale with itemized prices; the direct comparison is on our CIENCE alternatives page.

3. Martal Group

Why third: the nearest match to the outsourced-sales-team scope, on the quote-only side.

Martal Group, headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, positions itself as an outsourced sales team rather than an email vendor, claiming 200+ onshore sales executives and 15 years in business (self-reported). Pricing is quote-only but the structure is published: per its pricing page, Tier 1A is a flat monthly fee after a 3-month pilot, and Tiers 2 and 3 add a sales commission after a 4-month pilot. Best for: B2B tech companies that want senior outsourced sellers and accept the pilot.

4. SalesHive

Why fourth: a Belkins-like channel mix, calling plus email, on month-to-month terms.

SalesHive is a B2B sales development outsourcer, remote-first since 2016, that books meetings with 100 percent US-based SDRs (self-reported) across cold calling and email. Its pricing page describes one flat monthly fee covering team, platform, data and tools, with no setup fees and month-to-month terms, but publishes no dollar figures. Best for: US companies that want calling plus email without an annual commitment.

5. Sopro

Why fifth: the UK and European counterpart at comparable maturity.

Sopro, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Brighton, UK, with 300+ employees, runs fully managed, email-led multi-channel prospecting that stretches to display ads, phone and physical mail. Per its published pricing page, engagements start at around 3K GBP per month with explicitly no minimum contract. Best for: UK and European B2B companies from roughly 3K GBP per month.

6. Cleverly

Why sixth: the least like Belkins, but the lowest published entry price here.

Cleverly is a productized, LinkedIn-first agency, started in Los Angeles and now fully remote. Its prices are headline figures on its homepage: LinkedIn outreach at $397 per month, cold email at $1,995 per month for 10,000+ emails, and cold calling at $3,500 per month. Best for: budget-conscious SMBs that want listed prices and a productized scope.

All of them, side by side

Belkins is the baseline row; "publishes pricing" means figures on the agency's own site.

How to choose between them

Decide the model before the vendor. If a fixed monthly program with a guaranteed appointment quota fits how you budget, Belkins is a credible incumbent and CIENCE is the transparent-pricing version of the same shape. If you want the agency's pay tied to what closes, that is our model: mechanics on the how revenue share works page, market dollar ranges on the agency cost guide, and the model-by-model risk breakdown on the pricing models comparison.

Common questions

Is Belkins worth it?

On its own published record, Belkins is a credible choice for mid-market and enterprise teams: more than $2B in client revenue claimed since 2017, 1,000+ clients across 50+ industries (self-reported), named enterprise case studies, its own deliverability platform in Folderly. Whether it is worth it comes down to fit: a published starter price from $4,000 per month, quote-only tiers, yearly appointment framing, and a small-business tier delivered through partner agencies.

How much does Belkins cost per month?

Belkins publishes no tier prices. The one figure on its own pages is "The average starter price: from $4,000," paired with 1,500 leads per month and 100 guaranteed appointments per year; the appointment-setting page's own schema markup lists the same offer at $8,000, so the working number comes from a sales call. Its Clutch profile lists a minimum project size of $1,000+.

Which Belkins alternatives publish real pricing?

Checked in July 2026: CIENCE publishes a full itemized price list, a first month total of $7,499 per its pricing page; Cleverly lists $397 to $3,500 per month on its homepage; Sopro's pricing page says it starts at around 3K GBP per month; and ReplyLead publishes its fee table on the ROI calculator. Martal Group and SalesHive publish no dollar amounts.

What is the closest alternative to Belkins?

It depends on what you are replacing. Scale and breadth with published prices: CIENCE. An outsourced sales team: Martal Group. Calling plus email on month-to-month terms: SalesHive. UK and European buyers: Sopro. Lowest listed prices: Cleverly. An agency paid mostly out of closed revenue rather than a retainer: ReplyLead.
